Village Gym Edinburgh

Great technogym gear and plenty of space for free weights. attended for the 20m pool, where there was space for regular swimming as well as lanes. jacuzzi was a very welcome feat after overheating myself in the steam room and sauna 😂

My partner and i have been members for the past 6 months and are pleased with the quality of the gym and have noticed a continued effort to improve the gym kit. sauna, steam room and pool are all lovely. my only critiques are: 1. the lack of a hyperextension machine, feel this is an essential piece of kit i look for in a gym that is missing at the village. not only is it compact but also versatile and female-friendly. would love if this could be considered as an upgrade in the near future! 2. the bathrooms, especially the stalls could be significantly cleaner and should be cleaned more often throughout the day. 3. continued maintenance require for shower hooks, locks and water fountains as these seem to always be broken/out of order

Ok, i was going to give four stars, but the rest of the people were too lovely. i attended the pool with my two year old around 5pm yesterday. we walked to the desk and asked the gentleman if i could just walk round to the gym. he told us firmly to wait and i had a good ten minutes waiting around with an impatient toddler who wanted to touch everything in sight. the lady at the desk intervened and said yes i could and she did look confused why her colleague had asked us to wait around the main lobby (if this was my only interaction i would of awarded it 2 stars - customer service is important to me and a smile goes a long way). we walked round the corner to a nice gentleman who helped us check in and directed us to the family room. as a gym regular (before covid and having a baby), i must say it's the best family setup i've seen. granted if there are a few families it will get overrun, and the toilets could of been cleaner, but this did not distract from having an actual shower much easier with a toddler and it wasn't biting cold. the changing room lock didn't work, but still the best changing facilities i've seen. the pool itself is ok and a little on the cold side, but still warmer than a few. there is a jacuzzi in the corner which looked fantastic and there is a steam room, sauna room off the pool. good place to take your little one and i'm happy to report my son didn't want to leave. thank you callum and tom for your assistance on the phone and i look forward to coming back to check out the gym facilities.

The front of house staff were great, really helpful. we were upgraded from a standard room and struggled to see where the upgrade in the room was! nothing fancy in the rooms and you only seem to get one hand towel between two people (even though we asked for an additional one for the second night, it never materialised, we just got the same again) basic things were missing in my opinion, like biscuits with your tea and coffee, hair conditioner in the bathroom and plug sockets by both sides af the bed. it's definitely not worth the £200 per night we paid, even if it was during the edinburgh festival!

Unfortunately came across as a gym with a bar that just happened to have hotel rooms attached rather than the other way around. room was nice and clean with comfy beds but price per night (excluding breakfast) was horrendous even for edinburgh. it cost almost as much as my annual gym membership back home! good to see some low carb food options in the restaurant at least.
