Village Gym Edinburgh - Edinburgh

I recently joined this gym, and I already have serious concerns that will make me cancel my membership.
1. Extremely Rude Staff – some of the staff not all here have absolutely no manners. Their attitude is unprofessional and disrespectful except one girl her name Yoda she was very polite and very welcome to me.
2. Freezing Cold Pool – For over a week in the middle of winter, the pool heaters have been broken, and no one seems to care enough to fix them. The water is unbearably cold.
3. Disrespectful Treatment from Staff – While running on the treadmill, the sunlight was directly in my eyes. I did try to shut the blind, but the blind is broken and I politely asked a staff member to help lower the blinds, and instead of assisting me, he gave me a rude look and dismissively told me to do it myself. Unacceptable.
4. Filthy Men’s Restrooms – The floors are constantly wet , and no one bothers to clean them regularly. Hygiene standards here are clearly non-existent.

This gym is a complete disappointment, and I strongly regret joining.

I truly enjoyed the swimming pool, sauna and spa! The female staff were so lovely! Enjoyed every interaction with them. The class instructor Jonathan was one of the best I met. Super helpful and enthusiastic. I enjoyed the gym too. I found the screens attached to the equipment super helpful, showing my speed of lifting and reps. However some of them are low in power.

I have been a member of the Village Gym for almost 9yrs. During that time I have never had to make a complaint. The gym keeps up to date with fitness equipment and classes. Gym reception desk staff make an effort to get to know you, welcoming you by name as you sign in, which is such a nice personal touch. Fitness staff likewise and they are always willing to help you with advice on equipment. Loads of different classes and as stated these keep up with fitness trends.

Don’t use the pool, sauna etc much but it always looks inviting. Changing rooms kept tidy.

A well run club.

Very friendly staff and wonderful facilities. Occasionally the steam room is broken but other than that everything else is great. Has a jacuzzi, steam room ,sauna, pool and very large gym with every machine you could want. App links up to all the machines and you can easily log and track your progress

We spent two nights in the hotel, and enjoyed our stay. Unfortunately we didn’t get time to use the gym, so I can’t review it. We really enjoyed the food. There is a deal on fish and chips on Fridays, and it’s worth having the app for discounts. The breakfast staff worked hard to help us, and all the staff in the hotel and pub were pleasant.

I revisited for the first time in 2 years and many things remain the same - almost really good, but lacking in many areas. With a bar, decent pub grub, pool and well specced gym, this should be a great place.

The staff were excellent, the facilities were clean, and overall we enjoyed our time in the pool and restaurant.

However, there was a smell from the drains (I think) noticeable from the pool when we first entered and I'd avoid the family changing room if you can as it's just not fit for more than one family. Also, one of our group couldn't get their chosen food order as it wasn't available.

And no fault of the gym, but I've never heard so many guys clear their sinuses in one place!

Overall, just lacking polish.

Iain was brilliant he made my day 🤩. He always has a smile on his face and can never do enough for the members! Always makes me feel super welcome everytime I am in the gym.
