Pleasance Sports Centre & Gym

Great gym - great value for money. I highly recommend it for all students.

Fantastic facilities and lots of sports clubs, although most are only available to Edinburgh University students. Membership available to all, just not the sports clubs

my favourite place. There are all kind of sport environment. I like boxing room.

I understand from talking to a lot of other people in Edinburgh, that this is the best equipped gym in the whole city. Very good value for money as well. Can get a bit busy at times, but usually there isn't much of a wait for equipment. You never have to wait for the cardio equipment, but the free weights and machines are usually quite busy.

This is the university gym! It's absolutely huge! It runs loads of free classes and has a climbing wall and bouldering room I use regularly. The staff are great and it's amazing value for money.

Terrible treatment by staff at reception. Visited 3 different times to play squash with a friend of mine - was told completely opposite information all 3 times - discrepancies between staff. Very disappointed.

Fantastic gym. Great staff, great equipment. Large free weights area great cardio equipment. I think they should extend the opening hours on the weekend until at least 8pm.

The Centre for Sport and Exercise is a five-star gym that beats out the rest on both quality and price. It is not just the new, fantastically-built university gym for Edinburgh University, but it is also a community gym that welcomes members of the public to join as well, for just slightly higher rates. (Roughly £15 per month for students, £25 per month for partners of students or staff, and £30 for community members I believe - which really is a bargain for all groups!)

I like that this gym has variety and great quality. The main cardio room has great machines with touch-screen TVs that are easy to navigate and the best and most current gym technology - including free bracelets that let you tap into the exercise machines and keep track of your weekly goals. Behind the main cardio room is a weight room that can be very busy with lots of testosterone monopolizing the weights, but at lunchtimes it is much less busy and intimidating.

In the back, with stunning views of Arthur's Seat, is my favorite gym room with great elliptical trainers along the walls and many large individual mats on the floor for using weights, medicine balls, exercise balls, etc. It is much more calm than the other rooms, especially with the natural lighting and great views.

I also love the classes, and they have 60 per week to choose from! I regularly go to the spinning, Zumba, and circuits classes and have also tried out Aquafit, step aerobics, and mind and body. They have all been great with really nice and helpful instructors. You book all of the classes online from seven days before the classes, but can also sometimes show up and see if there is extra space to join in. The classes at the CSE are my favourite offerings!

This is a fantastic gym and has a great vibe about it. With your membership, you also have access to the pool that's in another building, and you can buy an add-on to your membership giving access to a climbing wall that's pretty cool too. There are also squash and basketball courts that I haven't used, and a boxing training room as well as Olympic training rooms that require special access. Thus far, I have been more than happy with all of the many other offerings in the main building!

It's a great gym, and I highly recommend it! I've been a member for two years now and can't speak more highly of it.
It's a great gym, and I highly recommend it!

It's huge and they have everything! Amazing views to Arthur's seat included! I highly recommend also for the great price!
