First look inside new Edinburgh David Lloyd gym with heated pool and aerodrome

David Lloyd have given a first look inside their latest Edinburgh gym, which is set to open with a host of fancy features from a spa to an aerodome.

Located at Danderhall, the new Edinburgh Shawfair leisure centre is confirmed to be opening in summer 2023, and will boast facilities for a range of sports and exercise.

Giving an idea of what to expect, David Lloyd shared that the new centre will feature a '100+ station gym', with state-of-the-art equipment.

The building will also have four bespoke designed studios to host different classes for members, which span from High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT), to their 'cyclone' group cycling and a selection of more relaxed 'mind and body' sessions.

A 20m indoor and a 25m outdoor heated swimming pool will offer a range of activities, including aqua aerobics, family swim times and quiet adult swim sessions.

Continuing their selection of outdoor sports, three paddle courts and four tennis courts will also be constructed inside an aerodome adjoined to the main building.

A new spa is also set to be an impressive talking point, which will include some luxurious features from a Himalayan salt sauna, rainforest experience shower, hydrotherapy pool, heated beds, and a deep relax room to create a sanctuary of relaxation to recharge, revive and rejuvenate.

As well as a cafe and clubroom, an outdoor patio area will offer a space for outdoor dining and socialising on warmer days and evenings, with playground facilities for the children.

Speaking about the upcoming launch, the gym shared they have now launched memberships due to a high level of interest, with locals able to find more information here.

Michelle Chambers-Cran, Regional Manager at David Lloyd Leisure, said: “We are so excited to start building our community of members at David Lloyd Edinburgh Shawfair.

“Even though we are several months off completion, there has already been huge interest, with many people registering on the website for updates.

“David Lloyd Edinburgh Shawfair will not just be a gym – it will be a complete leisure destination, and we can’t wait to welcome our new members in the summer.”
