I would have given 5 stars, but there just aren't enough machines. When I was a member at PureGym Granton, it was quite rare that I couldn't get on a machine that I wanted to (though sometimes had to swap around the machines that I went on), but now, at Craigleith, it happens quite often - I can only wonder how bad it is at peak morning at evening times (I go between 10am-1pm)!

Returning to the gym
I haven't been in a gym for a long time and was relatively nervous about going back. Spoke with Ally on my second visit, who was really friendly and helpful when explaining the machines. He also gave good advice for helping me work towards my goal of losing weight.

Went to Pure Gym Craigleith
Went to Pure Gym Craigleith, Edinburgh, very underwhelmed. The equipment looked 20 years old - the local council Nas more up to date cardio machines. No staff to be seen. Thanks for the 3 day free trial. I’ll stick to Gyms that invest in their equipment :-)

Please be aware due to the situation of our gyms it isn't always possible to extend the site itself, however, we are always looking to expand and improve our facilities where possible, so please keep an eye out for updates.
If you have any specific suggestions regarding the layout of the gym please approach the Gym Manager or leave a note in the feedback box, which is regularly reviewed. Thanks, PureGym.
Promo code useless
Promo code was on the one hand very hard to use and the start date couple delayed so it was activated immediately. Very disappointing experience.

Esta bien
In reality, they are not high in expectations for me, there is a lack of weight-lifting pulley machines, there is no WiFi, so everything else is perfect, the place is clean and the staff is very friendly and attentive.

Hi Anna. Thanks for taking the time to leave this review, we always appreciate and take on board member feedback.
We would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused. We’re afraid it's true, our gyms simply are very popular and so can become busy especially at peak times, but this does fluctuate throughout the day and from day to day. Members can also use the members area via the PureGym app or website, to see how many people are in the gym.

Edinburgh Craigleith Great Gym but the studio is too dark and claustrophobic
The gym is clean with lots of new equipment and easily accessible. The trainers are friendly and helpful. However, its ground-level studio, where group classes are held, is too dark and claustrophobic. Perhaps, the management could provide adequate lighting.
