Places Leisure, a social enterprise which operates and manages over 100 centres across England, has announced that it is opening a brand-new gym on Leith Walk.
This latest offering is part of Places for People’s award-winning regeneration project, the Engine Yard. Places Leisure Edinburgh will lease one of the commercial units and feature a 70-station gym furnished with brand-new equipment from Life Fitness, providing a range of cardiovascular and resistance machines, a large free weight area and a stretch area. Additionally, members will be able to benefit from group classes including Les Mills virtual studio and personal training opportunities.
Recognising the increasing demand for the integration of technology into fitness routines, Places Leisure Edinburgh will feature EGYM’s innovative and intelligent Fitness Hub, allowing members to follow workout programmes based on their own body and goals. The technology provides an easy to visualise personalised body analysis in the form of a ‘BioAge’ which individuals can compare to their physical age.
As well as having access to the technology, memberships will include unlimited access to the gym, as well as group fitness and health sessions held throughout the week. Through the Places Leisure app, members can access their membership card, make and manage bookings, and access virtual sessions.
