Ramadan at Sport & Exercise facilities
Information and advice for those using our facilities whilst observing Ramadan
Ramadan Mubarak to all those in our community who are celebrating.
Space to pray during Ramadan
Members/customers/visitors are welcome to pray in all our facilities (where safe to do so).
At the Pleasance, during Ramadan, we have set aside the FASIC Studio for those who wish to use a more private or quiet space to pray. You can find the FASIC Studio next door to Male Changing Room 2. Please follow directional signage or ask a member of the team for help.
At Peffermill, St Leonard's Land and Easter Bush please speak to a member of the team who will be able to provide recommendations on private or quiet spaces to pray.
Taking part in physical activity while fasting
Although it is safe to continue to exercise and take part in physical activity whilst fasting it is advisable not to start any new activity and, if possible, consider moving more high-intensity exercise sessions to nearer iftar time.
