Questions

Questions about training at Meadowbank

All FAQs →
Are you an Edinburgh Leisure personal trainer?+

I’m an independent personal trainer who coaches at Edinburgh Leisure’s Meadowbank Sports Centre. Forsyth Fitness is my own business, so your programme, coaching and support all come directly from me.

Do I need an Edinburgh Leisure membership?+

No. Gym access for your sessions is included when you train with me, so there’s nothing extra to join or pay for.

Is parking free?+

Yes. There’s a free car park right outside the centre, with spaces available throughout the day.

What times can I train?+

Sessions run Monday to Friday from 6am to 4pm, so you can train before work, at lunch or during the school run gap.

Will the gym be busy or intimidating?+

It’s a bright, spacious community gym rather than a hardcore one. I meet you at reception and you’re coached the whole time, so you never have to find your own way around.

Are there changing rooms and lockers?+

Yes. Meadowbank has changing rooms, showers and lockers, so it’s easy to train on the way to or from work.
