Places Leisure Edinburgh

This gym is one of the best I've ever been to. The staff are very polite. The equipment is clean and I rarely have trouble getting what I want. There's copious free-weights and a space to work with the bar doing deadlifts or whatever takes your fancy. Plenty of cardio machines. There are even some cool non-standard bits of gear if you're trying to switch up your work out. There are nice showers and lockers too but you need to bring your own lock or buy one from them. I'm on the £25 a month membership but if you're willing to commit to a year or are a student it's cheaper.

I bought a membership at the Places Gym. After visiting the gym first time I cancelled my membership. The Gym looks fine. Small, but well equipped for it’s size. However there are no changing rooms. You have to change in the bathroom. There are six. I went i to all of them and the whole bathroom was wet because of the shower and some people doesn’t leave the toilet nice after they use it. You can’t change properly. You have to bring your own lock for the lockers. I emailed to the Customer Service office to cancel my membership. I never got a reply back from them so I went up to the gym to ask is anything been processed yet? At the reception they confirmed that the process has been started. Why is it so hard to send a reply? The website is awful. Slow and feel insecure. When I bought my membership I had to do my payment 3 times because the site always crashed. After the 3rd time I got my receipt but the website still said I have to pay again. It showed my membership live but didn’t see my purchase. I wouldn’t recommend this gym at all. Which is a shame because it could be a good gym. It’s in a good location, looks modern and decent but it isn’t. And btw, who put the toilet paper holder behind the toilet? 🤨
