Elysium Edinburgh

The Elysium gym has been very welcoming to a traveler seeking a place to workout. They have a large facility with a variety of equipment that can be used for olympic and power lifting, crossfit, and general strength and conditioning. Friendly staff and members as well!

Tuesday evening class as a drop-in. Hoped for a little better for a central Edinburgh location! Class over-ran and a whole portion of the workout was missed out. Coaching was the bare minimum with no intent given or special points of focus. No corrective coaching seen at all. Kit was in a poor state of repair with some machines not working all together. Toilets pretty grim. Open-gym packed out which is always a bit of a red-flag towards class programming at an affiliate. Some easy and quick changes could be made that would massively improve the overall experience.

I've been to many gyms in my life and this family owned gym is by far the best.In Elysium there are plenty of squat racks and you are never rushed off any machines.Everyone that goes there seems to have a great respect for the equipment and other people.The classes in this gym are where it truly shines. I can tell the coaches really took their time in planning each lesson to cater into everyone's need. Their knowledge and experience is vast and their attitude is friendly and encouraging.I highly recommend anyone with any fitness level to give it a go!

I’ve been going for 3 years to this gym. I started during the pandemic and I’ve never been more consistent with my training. The friendly atmosphere of all the trainers and front of house staff being great knowledge and go out their way to help.

Even though this is a proper gym, not a social club there’s still a great community vibe. Staff and members are really welcoming and friendly.All the equipment you need, and I’ve never needed to hang around waiting for a station to come free because everyone is respectful of each other’s time and space.Small group classes were a brilliant introduction, and I’ve learned so much from the coaches.Thanks to everyone

Fantastic gym. Extremely friendly and encouraging staff. Members are like minded and supportive during classes. Fantastic, fully equipped CrossFit box with a very well stocked gym upstairs. While geared to more intermediate/advanced individuals, newcomers are made to feel very welcome.

Without a doubt the best gym you could want, regardless of your level, confidence or what type of athlete you are. I’ve been training at Elysium not long after they opened 5 years ago. The gym has evolved quite a lot since then, and it goes without saying that the facilities and equipment are outstanding, but the thing that has kept me coming back has always stayed the same: the people. Since day one, I’ve felt so welcomed and looked after. The coaching staff very obviously care about everyone who walk through their doors, and they make a point to remember your name. I’ve made friends for life here, and I simply couldn’t imagine training anywhere else. Thankyou for all that you do for your members!

Great Gym, can recommend! Day Passes available as well.

Super friendly staff and atmosphere, very welcoming with great equipment. Would definitely recommend this gym to anyone in Edinburgh!
