Indoor places to train in Edinburgh

1

Hi everyone,

My buddy is getting married in Edinburg the weekend before Leadville, and I’m there for the first 11 days of August. Unlike previous trips where I’ve allowed myself to just enjoy the vacation, I’m not willing to fully chill on this one; it’s just too close to race day, and the last time I traveled for a week+ without riding, I really felt it on my return to CO.

I was hoping for cycling-gym recommendations in the Edinburg area so I can keep the legs spinning and ready to ride. I can bring my own power pedals. I just need a good place that’ll let me use them. I’m trying to keep workouts very dialed/efficient, so I’m not looking to train outdoors.

Thoughts?

Cheers, and thank you in advance!

I’m not aware of any singularly dedicated cycling studios in Edinburgh, but then it’s been a few years since I moved.

There is a large modern gym at the Omni Center, in the city center, that has lots of Wattbikes, and standard spin bikes. See photos on Google reviews. It offers a 1 month membership.

I’ve never been to one in town, but I’d call these guys. Craiglockhart Leisure & Tennis Centre - Edinburgh Leisure

They have classes, which you could probably join and do your own thing, and/or they might have free spin times. They could probably tell you about other places with indoor bikes too.

If you had a bike, the outside riding here will be really nice…
