Channel your inner winter Olympian and race ahead of the New Year fitness rush with Edinburgh Leisure’s new Winter Pass initiative. Designed for both seasoned athletes and beginners alike, this limited-time offer brings the thrill of winter sports energy to your fitness journey.

“Just like preparing for the slopes, there’s no better time to build your fitness foundation than before the peak season,” says Ally Strachan, Fitness Development Manager Edinburgh Leisure. “Our Winter Pass is your lift ticket to wellness, offering an incredible variety of facilities and activities at an exceptional value.”

The Winter Pass provides a dynamic two-week membership experience for just £25, available from 18th November to 18th December. Pass holders gain unlimited access to:

• 17 state-of-the-art gyms
• Athletic training facilities
• Evolve at Meadowbank
• 12 swimming pools for endurance training
• Saunas, steam rooms, and the historic Turkish Baths at Portobello
• Over 750+ weekly fitness classes to rival any training camp
• Six golf courses for those preferring a different pace

Similar to a season pass at a ski resort, the Winter Pass can be renewed for an additional two weeks, allowing fitness enthusiasts to maintain momentum through the festive period. This flexibility accommodates both high-intensity training schedules and more relaxed approaches to wellness.

Health experts emphasise that maintaining physical activity during the pre-holiday season is crucial for:

• Boosting immunity during the winter months
• Managing seasonal stress
• Supporting mental wellbeing
• Building stamina for winter sports activities

Edinburgh Leisure’s facilities, conveniently located throughout the city, feature state-of-the-art fitness equipment and expert staff ready to support every fitness journey – from first-time gym-goers to seasoned athletes.

“Consider this your early Christmas present to yourself,” adds Ally Strachan. “When others are just starting their New Year’s resolutions, you’ll already be in peak condition.”

Edinburgh Leisure is a charity dedicated to creating opportunities for everyone to lead more active, healthy lives. With state-of-the-art facilities across Edinburgh, they’re committed to making fitness accessible and enjoyable for all.
