Training in Leith

Strength gyms, studios and a Victorian pool by the port.

Leith Victoria Swim Centre, opened as baths in 1899, has a 25 yard pool, a gym, three cycle and fitness studios, a sauna and a steam room. Around it is a strong run of independents: CrossFit Edinburgh, Synergy Group Fitness, Adapt Strength Gym, Cast Iron Strength, and Primal Gym, which teaches adult gymnastics, calisthenics and obstacle course racing. Pivot Pole Studio and Freedom of Flight Aerial take training off the floor, Run Strong Studio is a strength gym built for runners, and Leith Pilates, The Pilates Hub and Yoga Leaf lead a long list of mat studios. PureGym at Ocean Terminal is the open-access option, and Ninja Warrior UK has an adventure park here.

Leith Links has been used for sport for centuries, and its cricket pitch dates from 1820. The Water of Leith Walkway reaches the sea here, about 3.5 miles on from Stockbridge, and since 2023 the tram has stopped all the way down Leith Walk to Ocean Terminal, so a training partner from the city centre is a short ride away.
