Welcome to Leith Victoria
The original Leith Victoria Baths were opened in 1899 by Provost John Bennet, and we’re proud to say that they’re still keeping the local community active today!
The Leith Victoria swimming pool offers sessions for everyone with casual, lane, family fun and women only swimming available, as well as Sauna and Steam Room to relax in afterwards.
Our high spec gym has been recently upgraded and incorporates the latest equipment as well as hosting a series of Gym classes every week. The venue’s three studios offer an array of fitness classes throughout the week including a dedicated Cycle Studio. See the timetable for more details.
We’re also proud to run a successful swim coaching programme.
Leith Victoria's newly refurbished gym is now open!
Top of the range cardio equipment
The Leith Victoria gym is the first in Scotland to be kitted out with Life Fitness' brand new high spec cardio equipment with 24" HD consoles. The machines have access to apps such as Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video, YouTube, Spotify and Freeview TV to make those cardio sessions a whole lot better.
The cardio machines are also integrated with On Demand coach-led workouts.
New strength equipment throughout the gym
Our gym has been finished with new equipment throughout, including resistance machines, pulleys, racks, barbells, dumbbells and plates. We've added an additional half rack, a new glute drive, and made space for extra benches.
Watch the video to take a sneak peak at the new gym.
Our new Boditrax
As part of our gym refurbishment, we've added a new Boditrax machine. Boditrax is a sophisticated body composition scanner that can help you understand your body, set fitness goals, and track your progress.
Located on the gym floor outside Studio 1, it's free to all fitness class and gym customers.
Watch the video to find out how Boditrax works and how it can help you!
