Positive experience: Went for "lane swimming" as per timetable online. Unfortunately, there were only two lanes available. Staff didn't put lanes after "casual swimming" was over. It was fine but later on it was extremely crowded and uncomfortable. Visited last Sunday. Edinburgh Leisure | Swimming Pool

Positive experience: Attending physiotherapy clinic.The upstairs cafeteria area was a mess,The tables required to be cleaned water/ juice on the floor( slip risk) and a blue bucket with paper in sitting I middle of floor.

Ahmet Erik 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I recently joined this Gym. I mainly use the gym component of this leisure centre. The gym is nice and calm. It can be crowded at times but it is quiet on most occasions. The only problem that I face is having kids and teenagers occupy the machines and squat racks and not doing anything. NB: the gym was updated on November 2023. Since then, it has definitely improved

Francesca Di Prima 2 years ago

Negative experience: Impossible to book a lesson with the app or online and equally impossible to ask the reception for help because they say you can book online but the site doesn't work. If you ask for help in the chat after a question they disconnect. Very disappointed

Iain Nixon 3 years ago

Positive experience: Depends what you want. Small pool. I haven't used the gym but the badminton courts are heavily lined making difficult to interpret and sloping roof is not ideal. Same design as a number of Edinburgh leisure centres. Good at what it does.

Fantastic experience: First time to Gracemount Leisure Centre and it was great. It was definitely covid safe with plenty of hand sanitizer and cleaning equipment for the machines. The staff were really helpful and friendly too. The leisure centre itself is very clearcut in its layout so there was no nervous wondering around praying and hoping you're going in the right direction. Can't wait to go back! ‍♀️‍♀️

Lucky Man 4 years ago

Negative experience: The staff really don't know what they are doing. Every time a new staff member is appeard and explaining a different rule in one month this is 3rd time they do like this. When I told we guys are coming here from last whole month no one inform us but the big guy said its not my fault may be he thinks he is not member of the team working inside the place. When we are speaking with deputy manager a member of staff appeard and start arguing.....horrible. I recommend that the staff need a meeting about rule and regulations before implementing on people

Caitlin lawrie 6 years ago

Negative experience: Booked for a family swim, excellent that my grandson was able to enjoy the inflatable assault course he is 3. However the pool is too small to house such a large inflatable and still be open to the public for swimming. The water temp could also do with being turned up a degree or 2

Nikodem Goszczynski 7 years ago

Positive experience: Nice place but very dirty. Our friend hired a place for a birthday and toliet facilities looked like they never been cleaned. Good point was that staff cleaned everything straight away when asked.

Phillip Jay 7 years ago

Negative experience: Unfortunately, the public swimming lanes appear to be policed by local swimmers, or 'lane sheriffs' as I like to call them....that seem to take offence to you being quicker than them or if you use training equipment. Edinburgh Leisure's lack of a defined policy on the use of training equipment does not help either. I was left with a sour taste after I was lambasted by a fellow swimmer for using hand paddles on the premise I 'could have' injured him. I had, up until this point been using training equipment in Public Swimming lanes in Edinburgh Leisure pools without any issues. On raising a query with the manager around this, I was told training equipment is banned. A shame really, because the staff are friendly and the facilities are good. Unfortunately I will not be back as a result of this incident and lack of a defined policy.

Anders Vlogs 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: Sexy fortnite is a good one and I love the idea of the people who are in the Middle East and the people who are in the Middle East and the people who are in the Middle East and the people who are working in working in the morning UK and are have the most most important day of the day for the children who are now in the office with the children who have been working on the website for the last couple but they have a couple of other things that will not have a better idea I will have more of them to be honest with them in the next couple of months
