Warrender Swim Centre
25 yard Victorian Pool
Sauna
Gym
A community favourite and the beating heart of health and fitness in the local area. Much missed during its refurbishment closure, the Warrender Swim Centre reopened in May 2023 ensuring the Victorian-era baths continues to serve the local area as it has done for over 130 years.

Gym Refurbishment
A major gym refurbishment at Warrender Swim Centre was completed in December 2025.
Why the Upgrade?
Edinburgh Leisure is committed to creating spaces that inspire movement and make fitness accessible for everyone. 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?
- New flooring and branding: A refreshing look and feel for a better training environment.
- 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.
