The best I've found..........
Of the gyms I have tried in Edinburgh, I find those which are part of the Bannatyne's chain to be the best by far. For my £55 a month membership, I get to use this gym on Queen Street (which is close to my work) as well as the larger facility in Newcraighall (which is much handier for home!).
Like most city centre clubs, this gym is very busy around 6pm or thereabouts as office staff complete a quick workout before heading home. By all accounts, there is a nice swimming pool in here, but I've never used it. I stick mostly to the gym, and there is enough in here to get a real benefit from an hour or so in here over lunchtime.
The larger gym at Newcraighall is my main gym and this has a great range of classes to suit just about everyone. Again, it has a great pool, steam room and sauna, although most of my time is in the main gym. There is about 50 pieces of CV equipment including treadmills, elliptical trainers, rowers, bikes, etc, plus a wide range of weights machines and free weights.
Staff are also very friendly - if a bit ever changing - and I've found it a really friendly atmosphere within which to train.
