Sport & Exercise

Summer Staff Open Days

University of Edinburgh and Edinburgh University Students Association staff can try out the Gym facilities at the Pleasance for FREE from Wednesday 21 June to Friday 23 June 2017.

Gym Facilities

The Pleasance Sports Complex & Gym is just a few minutes’ walk from the University’s Central campus area. It hosts 10 gyms, including our newly refurbished spin studio, Velocity, the Katherine Grainger Rowing Gym and a 102-station Cardiovascular Gym, complete with network fitness. There is an extensive, high quality provision for free and fixed weights, including an underground vault with top-of-the-range equipment and the unique MyGym area for body conditioning. 

So why not come and try out the facilities for free during our Open Days?

You can even take a video tour of the Pleasance before you arrive

Classes

We have 90 plus invigorating exercise classes on a week at the Pleasance, so there’s something for everybody. Anyone taking advantage of the gym open days and wishing to attend one of our group exercise classes should check with the reception team if there are any spaces left in the class 5-10 minutes before it starts and, if there are spaces, then report to the class venue. Spare spaces will then be allocated on a first come, first served basis as non-members are not able to book into or reserve a space in our group exercise classes.

Squash Courts

On top of our world-class gym and fitness classes, we also invite you to try our squash courts. If there are courts available during the open days, you will be welcome to use one. A court booking fee of £3.50 will apply and, as with our classes, non-members are not able to pre-book squash courts.

New Member Offer

During the Open Days we’re giving you yet another reason to choose Sport & Exercise for your fitness needs. Not only will you benefit for our exceptional value for money membership and our fantastic facilities, but you’ll also receive a FREE gym starter pack, including one of our new gym towels and water bottles, when you take out a 6 month or 12 month membership.*
