Summit Fitness Edinburgh: Opinions

4.8/5 (79 Opinions)
Brian Parkin 2 months ago

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Edinburgh.

Calin 3 months ago

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.

Muhammed Ahmed 5 months ago

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.

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

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

Avdija Husic 1 year ago

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

Ian Lamb 1 year ago

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.

D T 1 year ago

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

Jckyl Kaster 1 year ago

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.

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.

Claire Birrell 1 year ago

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!

James McDermott 1 year ago

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.

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.

Musa Mohammadi 1 year ago

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.

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.

Kevin McDougall 2 years ago

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

Craig Wilkinson 2 years ago

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

Katie Westwood 3 years ago

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!

Tariq Khan 3 years ago

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.

Scott 3 years ago

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

Joseph McKay 3 years ago

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.

KK Simpson 3 years ago

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!!

Colin Maurer 3 years ago

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.

Sarah Snedden 3 years ago

Christopher Walker 4 years ago

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.
