Negan Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Currently training at Pure Gym, Gorgie however I was wondering if there are any other gyms goers out there who would recommend any other gyms. I mostly do weightlifting and iv managed to reach 50kg dumbell press and thats as heavy as their free weights go. Puregym is good as it does what it says on the packet but it also has its downfalls too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Americana Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Stop using the dumbells and grab a bar then 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig_ Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Used to be a member of Greens at the Corn Exchange when I lived up town. Great place, much less crammed than most of the others. Now taken over by Nuffield, so not sure what it's like these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ally Bee Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Lift Gym 100 yards down the road from your Pure gym sounds like it would suit you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it really small as it looks it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ally Bee Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Lift gym has more space than it looks through the back. There is also a downstairs which you don't see from outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely no investment since Nuffield took over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will need to look for a proper bodybuilding gym. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only one I could find was out at Bonnington Energize gym at Edinburgh park has dumbbells over 50kg, up to 70kg I think. It’s reasonably priced, quiet but not really fancy.
