Investing in Edinburgh’s Fitness Future: Warrender’s Gym Transformation 

Edinburgh Leisure is committed to creating spaces that inspire movement and make fitness accessible for everyone. Our latest investment? A major gym refurbishment at Warrender Swim Centre which we completed in December 2025. 

Why the Upgrade? 

As part of Warrender’s venue lifecycle, the gym equipment had been reinstalled after reopening – but over time, it aged and no longer met the needs of today’s members. After listening to customer feedback, we closed the gym on 30th November for a full refresh, focusing on improving the availability of popular kit and creating a smarter, more functional layout. 

What’s New? 

• Next-generation cardio: SE4 console machines with on-demand workouts, wireless charging, and immersive terrain experiences on 16″ and 23″ screens. 
• Fresh strength equipment: All-new Insignia fixed machines in sleek charcoal frames with black upholstery. 
• Smarter layout: Lower body strength and cardio in the lower gym, upper body resistance and racks in the middle, and a dedicated dumbbell room at the rear with five benches and cable stations. 
• New flooring and branding: A refreshing look and feel for a better training environment. 

Why It Matters 

This isn’t just about new machines – it’s about making your workout experience smoother, reducing wait times and creating spaces that motivate you to keep coming back. Combined with our city-wide offerings like Les Mills classes, Workout of the Month, and health consultations at Drumbrae – these upgrades help you stay consistent and achieve your goals.
