Gym documentation


Edinburgh Exchange Crescent gym reviews

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Good budget gym Good value for money, however there are a few small improvements needed. The girls changing rooms, showers and toilets need cleaned more frequently. Quite often the shower drains smell and the toilet sanitary bins need emptying more regularly. There is a toilet door lock which has been missing for months, and one of the hair dryers short-fuses and breaks after 10 seconds of use. It has been like this for at least 12-18 months. The music the PTs have to use in classes isn’t great. It’s imitation music of pop songs and it feels like everyone tolerates it rather than enjoys it. Better music would mean better classes. Using the register for busy classes would be beneficial as I have missed out on having access to equipment numerous times because people who haven’t booked attend classes. People who are booked onto classes should have priority of equipment and space in class.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Cancellation of Yoga class Not happy on hearing that the lunchtime yoga classes are to be cancelled. Reason - "It's not financially viable..." How can that be when you get our membership fee anyway regardless of classes?

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Gym equipment still looks good Showers need a good clean now as there is black stuff all around

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Good selection of equipment Although the selection of equipment is very decent, this gym is very popular and constantly packed, unfortunately this means you would have to wait sometimes to use the machine you need while the guy you waiting for is checking his social media for the last 45 minutes.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Lots of equipment, very busy A decent sized space but lacks fresh air so gets stuffy. Some of the machines computers don't work in the cycle class. Good Pilates class.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Good Gym One of the reasons I signed up for pure gym was the equipment ✅, another reason was feeling comfortable in the gym as I am not a gym bunny ✅ and top me an important reason was access to WiFi to help kill the time when I am on the treadmill etc, afraid to say that it has worked since last week and when mentioned to staff no one seems to take ownership of the problem ❎
