    Fighting fit

    Level access entrance. But once inside it is on different levels. Accessible via ramp which was quite steep and partially via a lift that is key controlled, so to get to the gym area upstairs you must ask reception for a key to access the lift. The gym area was busy with a lot of machines but seemed that only a few were accessible. It was good that they had a handcycle machine. With all the treadmills/running machines they had it would have been good if they had a wheelchair roller/treadmill. Not sure why more gyms don’t have them tbh. The dry side accessible changing area was a decent size and had a changing bed but there was no hoist. The pool area was really good and had a steam room that was accessible. The wetside accessible changing area was a similar size but didn’t have a changing bed in it. The cafe area was spacious and the staff were extremely helpful moving chairs for the wheelchair to get in.

    What a busy wee leisure centre

    This is a leisure centre in Edinburgh that is split over three levels. It is just about wheelchair accessible, with lift access to the top floor, but is really quite cramped inside.

    Pooling our resources

    We were using this pool while our regular one at Drumbrae is being refurbished, maybe I've been spoiled but I didn't like this one as much (the disabled changing room is very cramped, it is a bit of a rabbit warren, the hoist is in an inappropriate place) but I have heard good reports of the cafeteria.
