What’s New for Members This Season

If you’re looking to change up your routine, there are plenty of options to try with your Edinburgh Leisure membership right now — whether you want something calmer, more challenging or easier to fit into a busy week.

Switch Off & Recharge – Casual Swimming & Turkish Baths

Casual swimming is a flexible way to keep moving, whether you’re after low-impact exercise, a gentler session or simply a bit of time in the pool. With lane, casual and relaxed sessions available across venues, it’s easy to find something that suits your day.

If you’re after something more restorative, the Turkish Baths at Portobello Swim Centre offer a different kind of session. The Victorian baths move through a series of warm and hot rooms, making them a good option for winding down after training or setting aside time to properly switch off.

Member bonus: Full Fitness and Swim memberships include access to the Turkish Baths, making them an ideal post‑work or weekend wind‑down.

Move, Think, Repeat – Climb Membership at EICA Ratho

If you want something active that also keeps your mind busy, a Climb Membership gives you unlimited access to climbing and bouldering at EICA Ratho. You can drop in for a quick session or stay longer, and it’s a great way to build strength, confidence and focus over time.

Routes change regularly, so there’s usually something new to work on if you like sessions that feel varied and engaging.

Simple, Flexible & Open‑Air – Athletics Tracks Included

Sometimes the simplest option works best. With access to Edinburgh Leisure’s athletics tracks, members have outdoor space for running, jogging or interval training, whatever their pace.

It’s also easy to combine track time with a gym workout, swim or recovery session, depending on how you like to train.

Short, Sharp & Social – HYROX Simulation Events

HYROX Simulation Events at Evolve Meadowbank give you the feel of race day in a supportive setting. With solo and doubles options, they’re a good fit if you’re curious about HYROX, training for an event or just want a structured challenge.

Set start times, official timings and a lively atmosphere make these sessions feel focused without the pressure of a full competition.

Unlock Les Mills at Edinburgh Leisure

If your membership includes fitness classes, you can also access Les Mills workouts, with expert instructors and a wide range of class styles.

From BODYCOMBAT and GRIT for high-energy cardio, to BODYPUMP for strength and BODYBALANCE for calm focus, there’s a class for every goal.

There’s no extra cost where classes are included, just more ways to train, build strength or slow things down when you need to.

A season to mix it up

From swimming and Turkish Baths to climbing, track sessions and HYROX events, there are lots of different ways to use your different memberships.

Whether you’ve got half an hour or a whole afternoon, you can mix and match options in a way that works for your routine.

Have a look and see what appeals — you might find a session that fits better than you expected.
