Fantastic experience: Great venue for kids parties. Staff are on hand and attentive. The space you rent is a really good size so plenty of room for activities. Other facilities looked good too.

Positive experience: Good place but lacks classes for under 5s, especially those in nursery. Classes fill up fast for primary school kids. Wish they had more trial sessions. Membership is so ridiculously expensive

Fantastic experience: My friend and I attended Steady Steps at Drumbrae. The instructor Michael McLaughlin is an excellent tutor, professional, with a great sense of humour. He made us feel at ease and was most encouraging allowing everyone to go at their own pace according to their levels of ability. “The right man for the right job!” B Stirling

Fantastic experience: Just went for a swim. Super clean, lovely pool. Just what I needed. Rest of the facility looked busy. Badminton lessons, lots of activity in the gym.

norman phipps 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Returning to swimming after a 5 year hiatus. I only swim once a week so I don't have a membership. I pitch up at 6:25am and I am able to pay by card. Showers/pool is always clean. Lane swimming in place slow/medium/fast/other, I usually stick to medium. My only issue is that the medium lane can get a bit busy. I would suggest creating another one, probably from the "other" lanes.

Karen Smith 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Really clean and busy, well equipped. Lucky to have in the area

Iain Johnston 1 year ago

Positive experience: Great pool and good clean facilities. What’s bad and despite being operated as a charity, is the monthly subscription is now nearly £50 for swim membership. That would be fine if the pool was always open but it’s not always open from 5pm when most people who work finish. E.G unlimited swim in Fife is £37 pm, in Boness its £22 pm. Is heating, wages, and costs so much more in Edinburgh?

David McDonald 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I came for a shower. Costs £2 and only payable by card. Directed to swim pool showers. You need a pound coin for the lockers which are spacious and you get your pound back when you open the locker. Showers have cubicles which are big and have a soap dispenser so no need to bring your own. Mixed changing so have to use changing cubicles. Water is hot and you have to keep pressing the button to keep it going. The staff are lovely and helpful. On the whole well worth the £2 cost.

Chris Allan 4 years ago

Negative experience: Extremely unhelpful duty manager who refused to help with questions on my Edinburgh Leisure membership. Rude, obnoxious and quick and unapologetic. Would not allow me access to a quick swim even though I had turned up at 6.30am to resolve my membership woes. Shame that the pool and facilities are let down by those in management that should know better.

T G 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I think this is one of the best leisure centres in Edinburgh. The staff are coping incredibly well with the new restrictions and are making careful observations on cleanliness and that the clients are observing the new restrictions too. I feel very at ease and safe attending this leisure centre. It is absolutely spotless. The staff are very friendly and the lady on reception with the blonde hair does her job exceptionally well as does the young tall gentleman by the pool. Both are very friendlly and very helpful. Sorry I can't give names but I didn't see the name badge! But all staff are very good at this leisure centre. The gym is very well equipped and plenty of machines available for use. The workout class rooms are spotless and the decor is calming. The prices are great too! Great job! Thanks!

Positive experience: Some of the instructors here are great, but the cleanliness of the changing rooms is awful. Floors often dirty, hair around soap dispensers and ants around hair dryers. Not pleasant for anybody, but especially when you're taking small children there.

Chris G 5 years ago

Positive experience: Play badminton here. It's good. But sometimes they let part of the hall be hired out to basketball boys who let their basket ball roll into the badminton area which is bad for badminton and there is also gymnastics on with loud music which is bad for good concentration when trying to not be bad at badminton.

Chaela Holmes 5 years ago
