Cutting-Edge Fitness Trends
Edinburgh Leisure has revolutionised the fitness landscape with the launch of Evolve Meadowbank, an official Hyrox Affiliate Training Club.

At the Edinburgh International Climbing Arena (EICA: Ratho), a significant £100,000 investment from sportscotland’s Sport Facilities Fund and National Lottery Players has transformed climbing opportunities.

The centre has unveiled a state-of-the-art competition bouldering wall, designed by the Serious Climbing team at Rockcity in partnership with Dreamwall.
