Summit Fitness Edinburgh: Opinions
Fantastic experience: Best gym in Edinburgh.
Fantastic experience: Incredibly well equipped gym for the price. It also has a good community and the owner is great, you can tell how passionate he is about his gym.
Fantastic experience: Visited on a Wednesday evening (peak time 430-6) was greeted by the owner with a lovely conversation, straight away you could tell he was extremely passionate about what he does. The gym itself is not big however they have done amazing with the space available, each machine had been hand selected with different variants and brands for bodyparts (Atlantis,nautilus, strive) all available in pin and plate loaded formats. All in all the gym, owner, atmosphere, cleanliness were amazing and a 10/10. If I could have one 'criticism' it would be that go before 430 and after 630 just to avoid the rush however that's the same everywhere. £10 for a day pass well more than worth it.
Thank you for the kind words! A pleasure to have you train with us and welcome back anytime!!!
Positive experience: Cracking wee gym with some quality equipment at a reasonable price. My only gripe is that the music is so loud that you can hear it over noise cancelling AirPods.
Fantastic experience: Unreal gym 10/10. Top top spec machines, great music & even provide a gym pin :)
Fantastic experience: Amazing gym, best equipment in edinburgh by far and all at a great price too. Gym has a great atmosphere without ever feeling too busy or crowded. Highly reccomend
Positive experience: Good facility and locker room- free weights, few cardio machines, lots of machines of various types. Shower was individual stall. Busy, but it was a Sunday afternoon. Day passes were £10. Music was atrocious.
Fantastic experience: Simply amazing! Great selection of machines and free weights. Very simple and affordable to stop by for a day pass. Staff was also very friendly and uncomplicated.
Thank you Tobias! Glad you enjoyed
Fantastic experience: The best gym in Edinburgh by a mile! Murray and all the staff are extremely welcoming and friendly. The best equipment you will find in a gym in Edinburgh.
Thanks very much!!
Negative experience: Gyms a bit small cheap but you get what you pay for staff are a bit rude and they make cancellation of membership really difficult and make threats of your try to argue their way.
Fantastic experience: J'ai longtemps cherché pour trouver une vrai salle à Dublin et j'ai eu la chance de tomber sur celle ci, un matériel de haute qualité ( prime hammer nautilus... ) un accueil au top Bref de quoi passer une super séance. Pour couronner le tout c'est la salle la moins chere que j'ai eu a payer ( 6 pounds ) Merci encore si je repasse par Édimbourg je reviendrai
Thank you very much for stopping by! You’re welcome back anytime :)
Fantastic experience: Absolutely quality gym. Murray has without a doubt taken the time to do his due diligence with equipment. Every piece is hand selected and does not miss. The layout is awesome blending a combination of modern and old school grunge- meaning it’s the kind of gym for everyone! I would highly recommend, if you live local and haven’t already, sign up
Fantastic experience: 10/10 equipment and friendly staff who always spark up my day and will occasionally give me a free protein bar!!!!!!!
Fantastic experience: Best gym in Edinburgh and it’s not even close, training environment is unreal, get yourself down there if you haven’t already been, you won’t regret it
Fantastic experience: I have been training in commercial gyms in Edinburgh for years, can honestly say Summit fitness is the best gym I have ever used. It is a great atmosphere and the equipment is exceptional. A lot of thought has been put into the layout for the members. Murray and the staff are all excellent. Would highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Without a doubt the best gym in Edinburgh! Been training there since the new unit opened up and I have been blown away by the equipment available. Prime, cybex, nautilus you name it they’ve got it! Even some old school strive machines. If you’re in the Edinburgh area get yourself down to summit ASAP. Not a bad word to say about the staff as all are chill people and easy to talk to. This is not a gym where you get stared at out of pure hatred or anything like that as it is a very mixed environment having people with all sorts of training goals 10/10 get yourself down asap
Negative experience: Owner is incredibly rude. Just tried to get a day pass and wouldn't even acknowledge us. When he finally did he just grunted at us with his card machine.
Very sorry to hear about this, could you please confirm when you made your visit?
Fantastic experience: Really amazing gym, everyone’s so lovely 10/10!!
Fantastic experience: Truly a great gym that invests in its members. The owner is always on the lookout for the best equipment and it currently boasts a great selection of machines and free weights. Coupled with a friendly atmosphere and a very well priced membership, this is the best gym in Edinburgh.
Fantastic experience: As someone who literally hated any idea of the gym, Summit has been incredibly welcoming. The staff are all lovely and the equipment choices are insane. I was really worried about being a ‘beginner’ when so many people in the gym looked quite advanced, however, everything has been really friendly and the atmosphere is fabulous! Would highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: A Very nice gym, I would definitely recommend this to anyone that loves training or even to someone who is new to the gym. Everybody in there is very welcoming and friendly. Equipments are very unique which you don’t get that in any other gym in Edinburgh. Gym itself is nice and clean.
Thank you!
Fantastic experience: By far the best gym I have ever been to. Some of the best kit and machines I have used as well. Great supportive community atmosphere. Big selection of supplements, energy drinks, and protein too. Has everything someone who loves the gym would need!
Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Easily the best gym I've ever been a member of! Great kit (with new equipment being added all the time), not too busy, the staff are incredibly friendly and a there's a real community feel whenever I go to the gym. Would highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Great equipment, Great atmosphere, Great trainers and a really friendly staff and members. Everything you need for all your needs. Love the dedication and hard work that the owner has put into making this the best gym in Edinburgh.
Fantastic experience: Hands down the best gym in Edinburgh. The owner Murray has transformed this place across the years to become an amazing place for people from all walks of life. Whilst my own training is tailored more-so for bodybuilding, I know many powerlifters, crossfit athletes and just average people who want to get a bit fitter who all appreciate and love the space Murray has created. The gym boasts a really rare collection of amazing equipment that works for whatever style of training you need. Whether you need a texas deadlift bar, prime equipment, dumbbells going up to 70kg, or a assault bike this gym has it all. If you live in Edinburgh, I highly reccomend you consider this your home gym, the community within the gym is second to none.
We appreciate your kind words :)
Fantastic experience: Best gym in Edinburgh, unreal kit and great atmosphere.
Fantastic experience: Been a member for a few months now and for proper lifting, Summit is the best gym in Edinburgh. Top of the range machines and facilities. Owner is also a very sound guy which is an added bonus.
Fantastic experience: Simply put, Summit Fitness is the best gym in Edinburgh. This is true in the standard of equipment, knowledge of the staff and sense of community among members. I have recommended Summit Fitness to loads of people and I will continue to do so
Glad you like the gym!

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Edinburgh! Fantastic equipment with more arriving all the time! Brilliant people in there as well!

Fantastic experience: Best gym ever ! Please try it !!!!
Fantastic experience: Been coming here since the beginning. Murray is dedicated to providing the best possible equipment and experience for his members. Professionalism personified. A truly superb facility.
Fantastic experience: The best gym in Edinburgh. Premium equipment to suit all needs, from hardcore bodybuilders to absolute beginners. The owner is consistently reinvesting into the gym and several high-end pieces of kit have been added since I joined a few months ago. The staff and clientele have always been friendly and welcoming, and the membership cost is very modest. As long as I am based in Edinburgh I will be training here.
Fantastic experience: I visit Edinburgh a lot and finally I found a really good Gym ... by far the best i tried. Absolutely recommended!

Fantastic experience: Finally a proper bodybuilding gym in Edinburgh! The machines are amazing and the owners put a lot of love into the place!
Fantastic experience: Honestly Edinburgh needed something like this... Proper cybex machines and prime and cutlery machines for muscle targeting and I seen the neautilous machines aswell staff are super friendly clean gym great atmosphere I tried this gym out yesterday and fair to say I'm getting a membership today unbelievable so it is
Thanks for your kind words and hope to have you back soon!
Fantastic experience: Such a cool gym. Just had the best legs session in a long time. Amazing equipment as well as great atmosphere. Looking forward to the new bigger location coming up.
Fantastic experience: I joined Summit Fitness in September 2021 after moving to Edinburgh and immediately felt welcomed from my very first session. Incredible atmosphere, great location, and top quality equipment. 10/10 gym.
Fantastic experience: In terms of kit, nothing in edinburgh rivals it. Perfect atmosphere for training and a facility that's always improving. Would highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Best small community gym in Edinburgh!
Fantastic experience: Brilliant Gym
Fantastic experience: Great gym, would recommend! I started with no experience strength training and have learned a lot thanks to Murray. Really friendly environment created by both the staff and everyone who goes here
Fantastic experience: Nice gym environment, got all the equipment you need for any workout! Can connect to the speakers yourself, the owner is very nice and offers cheap PT sessions! Not as busy as the commercial gyms! Glad I found it
Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym, great atmosphere, highly recommended!
Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to Summit for over 2 years now. Moved from the gym at One spa. I must say I much prefer this type of gym. It’s compact but a really good mix of cardio, free weights and machines, which are mainly plate loading machines I’ve been training with the owner Murray, who is a very good PT and I’ve had a good variety of programs made up Although the main client base is fairly young (which I’m not!) I feel very comfortable training here and recommend to anybody looking for a new gym
Fantastic experience: Well stocked gym with a very community oriented and personal feel. It is small, but the space is well used and I didn't have any trouble meeting the needs of my workouts. The owner is attentive to the needs of the users of the gym and there is a suggestions blackboard which I believe is observed by the owner. Great gym
Fantastic experience: Great gym in central Edinburgh with parking. Nice vibe in the place and really friendly owner who will help you out. For the price it cannot be beaten!
Fantastic experience: Summit Fitness is an iron paradise made for those who want more from their gym. You deserve more than a commercial gym full of ‘conveyor-belt trained’ PTs who don’t know their eyebrows from their latissimus dorsi. You can find more, at summit fitness. It’s a classic style weightlifting gym with all the trimmings, awash with a community of likeminded individuals focused on their goals. If you’re looking for a PT, look no further than Murray. He’s a highly educated trainer, with a tremendous personal interest in training, who regularly creates bespoke programmes for his clients, whatever their needs. I joined this gym when it first opened up, and those other gyms can send me as many offers as they like, but I’ll never go back. Ascend to your highest heights, join Summit Fitness, and make that the first of many positive changes in your life. P.S. Im unaffiliated with the gym, I just think it’s great, and you will too.
Fantastic experience: I have gone to this gym since last August and it has been a great experience for me. I started off as a complete beginner and the atmosphere has been great. I was anxious about going at first but it went away quickly. The owner is really friendly to help. Now I’m a regular gym goer and feeling much more confident
Fantastic experience: Best place to train in Edinburgh! Some proper bits of kit if you want to train seriously but the sort of friendly and welcoming atmosphere you want if you're new to the gym or have been out for a while. Also can't say enough about how good Murray is as a PT. If you're considering it, just give him a go, you'll fall in love with training in no time, guaranteed.
Fantastic experience: Great gym and friendly, community atmosphere. I have made a lot of progress since training with Murray (both mentally and physically). I would highly recommend getting a PT at Summit Fitness. Great rates too!!
Fantastic experience: Very pleasant experience here. The gym is moderately sized and very well equipped with multiple racks, a deadlift platform, cardio machines and dumbbells that weigh as much as 47.5 kg. The owner, Murray, was very helpful in setting me up with a short-term membership as I was only in the area for a week. I highly recommend Summit Fitness for anyone looking for a no-nonsense gym with all the essentials.
Fantastic experience: A fantastic, well-equipped gym with extremely friendly and welcoming staff. It has a lovely community feel to it and I couldn’t imagine training anywhere else now!
Fantastic experience: Great gym.
Positive experience: Staff were really friendly, and let me and my partner to come in and have a look around. It looks like a great facility but not what we were looking for. We are very much beginners it's a relatively small space so everything is quite close together. Would definitely be great for a more experienced gym user, but as a beginner I need a bit more space to get familiar with what workouts I want to do. As I've said, great looking independent facility with lots of equipment, but just not the place for me.
Fantastic experience: Great gym with a friendly team. Very accommodating to people who are new to gyms (like me..).
Fantastic experience: Great gym with plenty of good equipment. Staff always happy to help you out which creates a friendly atmosphere within the gym.
Fantastic experience: Facilities themselves are unbelievable, staff and PT’s there are welcoming and friendly. The equipment speaks for itself, incredible gym for all levels of gym goers

Fantastic experience: After going to commercial gyms for years, it’s been so nice having an independent friendly gym to go to. I discovered summit through lockdown and it has been the best, positive change I needed. The staff are so knowledgeable and friendly. It’s a judgement free place with high quality equipment, where you can go and smash your goals no matter what level you are. Highly recommend summitfitness! 10/10 gym! 10/10 staff! 10/10 equipment.

Whether you're into strength sports, physique building or general fitness, this gym has plenty of machines, free weights and functional equipment to suit your needs. With its competitively priced, flexible memberships, friendly staff and positive atmosphere, Summit Fitness Edinburgh is a fantastic training destination for both serious enthusiasts and novices, alike.
