Great training facility for competitive powerlifters. Nice eleiko combo rack + power bar. 2 full sets of eleiko calibrated plates, and a couple extra squat cages. Very friendly people here, and Marcus, the owner, has been very hospitable and responsive. It’s also an easy enough transit from old town with a bit of walking + shuttle bus.

Absolutely not your typical strongman focussed gym. The place is spotless. Plates always where they should be and accessible. Marcus extremely welcoming. The coaches are really approachable with their advice and assisting with form, all whilst not being salesy. My strength and conditioning being programmed by Callum who has coached internationally. I’m down 1.5KG in week one, whilst still being able to recover. The day pass is a great price for the equipment on offer and the Sunday strength sessions are spot on to get your form right.

The only place to train in Edinburgh for both seasoned athletes and newbies (and regrettably I can confirm this by having wasted training sessions in other gyms prior to discovering this gem). This gym is enormous and has been kitted out remarkably well by lovely owner Marcus. Not only will you be welcomed warmly here but you will also have every piece of strength kit you could possibly need along with some key bodybuilding machines to complete your accessory work, or get a full bodybuilding session in like I chose to do. There is a full kit list on the website which I checked out ahead of going, noting some of my favourites like the belt squat, new Watson hyper and glute drive. The second room is massive for Crossfit or to use as a large warmup zone. There’s even a posing room which is the cherry on top to make this my new gym in Edinburgh.

Marcus was kind enough to sort me out with a day pass while I was briefly back in Edinburgh, which I really appreciated. I got a nice tour of the space before starting. The gym has possibily the best kit I've ever seen it's fantastic. I deadlifted on one of the platforms using the eleiko calibrated plates since it's rare to get the opporunity. The pec fly and cable stack machines were super smooth. For strength lifters it has everything. Everyone was very friendly and the space had a great atmosphere. If I'm ever settled back in town for a long period I'll for sure be hoping to get a membership.

Completed a powerlifting session at this gym when visiting Edinburgh with my partner. A hidden gem, with great kit, great lighting and great aesthetic. All the powerlifting gear I required. I met Marcus as I first walked in to get a day pass, was very friendly allowing me to help myself to anything in there. Good selection of energy drinks and water to hand. Good chat and banter between the members and even has a newly painted posing room, which was great. Definitely has potential to host powerlifting competitions at an official level in the future if it hasn't already. Definitely recommend anyone (specifically strength athletes) visiting Edinburgh who wants to get a workout in to this place, easy links to centre city via bus. Will definitely be visiting again!
