Fantastic experience: I've been training with Andy for nearly 4 years now and it's all thanks to his positive attitude, varied programming and of course, results! The gym has everything you could need for calisthenics and weight training and it's such a welcoming place to be. I'd recommend Bamboo Bodies for everyone., from newbies to seasoned athletes.
Thanks so much for the review Cat!
Fantastic experience: I’ve always found the gym dull and a chore. The semi private sessions Andy and team run keep me coming back every week at 6am! Friendly, knowledgeable and supportive. Absolutely love it and chuffed with my progress! Can’t recommend it enough :)
Thanks so much for the review Kate!
Fantastic experience: An amazing gym with even better coaching! I've only been training with Andy for 5 months and already feel so much stronger. Its really helped me progress with my rock climbing!
Thanks so much for the review Alex!
Fantastic experience: Bamboo bodies is a great place to train at if you’re looking for results. The coaches are professional, the gym is sleek and the exercise programmes help you towards your fitness goals. My main concern when exercising is my form and preventing injuries- at Bamboo bodies, I feel confident when training. Thanks for everything!
Fantastic experience: Lovely welcoming set-up in an unassuming location! Andy is super friendly and encouraging and the place is well kitted out with a hard floor area and a soft floor area for weights, circuits, floor work and gymnastics.
Thanks so much for the lovely review!
Fantastic experience: Very well equipped gym and Andy’s coaching style is so effective, you’ll be saying ‘Light weight, baby!’ in no time. Yeah buddy!
Thanks for the review Mo!!!
Fantastic experience: I absolutely love being a member here. Andy ensures I’m always progressing in my fitness, whilst making it fun too! Always positive and continually pushes me outside of my comfort zone. Highly recommend
Thanks so much for the kind words Kay!
Fantastic experience: Absolutely thrilled with my experience at this Edinburgh gym! I’ve been a member at lots of gyms over the years and I can say hands down that the coaches make this place truly special. It’s not just an in-and-out gym, it’s a community, and one that is so inclusive and fun. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to improve their health, fitness and strength. A top-notch fitness experience.
Thanks so much for the kind words Heather!
Fantastic experience: I’ve been working with Andy since May 2022 and stuck with him when he opened the BambooBodies gym. It’s an excellent training place with all the core equipment, particularly if you’re into gymnastics, calisthenics or weightlifting. The coaches are excellent. Ever since I started the personal training my progress has skyrocketed and I’ve always felt heard when I requested any changes or accommodations to my program - which is often a challenge as I have a variety of fitness goals, which sometimes do not go together. Overall, BambooBodies is a wonderful place to train, no matter whether you’re just starting your fitness journey or are a well-seasoned athlete.
Thanks so much for the review Kat!
Fantastic experience: Hands down the most inclusive and friendly environment I’ve seen! The coaches are always happy to help and the gym space is ideal for everyone. The gym can be used for calisthenic workouts and free weight workouts alike!
Thanks so much for the kind words Sydney!
Fantastic experience: Excellent coaching and programming tailored to individual needs. I would highly recommend the group training as it is good fun and you see great results.
Thanks so much for the kind words Lesley!
Fantastic experience: Andy is very knowledgeable, approachable and passionate. I could not recommend Bamboo GST enough.
Thanks for the review Hamish
Fantastic experience: Andy is great. Encouraging, enthusiastic and understanding. He's helped me so much with my strength and stability. I've had a lot of issues in the past with a shoulder injury and Andy has adapted exercises for me and worked to make sure my shoulders are more stable and injury free. He makes you work hard but its fun and worth it
Thanks so much for the review Claire
Fantastic experience: I've worked with Andy for over a year to increase my strength for pole fitness, and also to gain confidence in my handstands. With his support I have managed to push myself beyond what I thought was possible - from doing weighted pull-ups to achieving my first ring muscle-up, being a lot stronger at pole and no longer being scared of going upside down on my hands. His workouts are fun and challenging, and his positivity is very motivating. 10/10 would recommend!
Thanks so much for the review Kate!
Fantastic experience: Such a fun gym compared to the usual set ups. Best place to do gymnastics/calisthenics type training. I go to a block of training classes where I've met lovely people and seen some real progress. I am on a journey to a first pull up which I know will happen very soon here!
Thanks for the review Anne! Appreciate it! :)
Fantastic experience: I've been training with Andy for over a year and in that time have seen my strength and fitness improve hugely. He writes programmes that are personalised to your goals and abilities that challenge you and yet are achievable. Can highly recommend for anyone wanting to elevate their fitness; I've achieved more in a year than I thought was possible and can't wait to see what the next year brings!
Tha ks for the review Jenny!
