Upgraded review to 5 star, as the situation below... regarding the pool and sauna is resolved!Overall the gym is pretty good, I'm happy with the equipment and cleanliness. However, the big issue for me is that if you would like to use the sauna or steam room you HAVE to book a swim lane. I don't even want to go for a swim, and wouldn't like take a swimming spot from someone else. So because of this rule and the low swimming lane spots it's also difficult to actually book a swim lane even if I wanted to. The reception staff said this was a management decision.I'm more than happy to upgrade this review once the sauna and steam room are more accessible.read more

When I went to the Edge, I did the Birthday... personal training session which was really fun. I really enjoyed my training sessions with my trainer Abigail. She was very attentive and friendly. Before we would start a training session, she would ask about how I was doing and what goals I had for each session. She was very good with teaching me how to use equipment I had never used before and whenever I felt tired or overwhelmed ,she would stop and try to make the workout easier for me. I highly recommend a personal trainer at the Edge because it was nice to have someone to workout with and someone who can help you on your training journey.read more

This is a nice place for many physical exercises... and activities.I go there regularly for playing and sport activities.The cost for membership is quite high for external people. The EDGE needs to come up with a different plan. People really struggle to pay for its facilities and they don't use all of them. For me, the next plan should be to have a membership plan for each facility and keep adding on top of them.They have a gym and many other facilities for example, squash, swimming, basketball, badminton, indoor football, cricket, climbing etc. booking required for any of these ones.They also gave a nice place for socializing and if you wish to sit and chit chat.Parking is a big issue! And it is paid. Although, it is a big parking area, it is also used by Leeds University people and hence super busy all the time and hard to find a parking space. Because of the parking cost, it makes the visit even more expensive for external visitors. Other than that, it has wheelchair accessibility. 6 electric cars charging socket and all functioning. If you are lucky you might find one of them free.People are nice and friendly. They do have gym or swimming trainers as well.read more

I think for being run by the university, it... should be cheaper. But staff are great, the pool is great... actually I don't understand complaints about the water temperature, it's warmer than most pools I've been in. Just take a cold shower before. Actually, the swimming pool seems overstaffed, there are constantly at least two lifeguards even if there are hardly any swimmers. One would be enough. The gym should have an additional pullup machine, there is only one, and it's always in use. Sometimes the music is a bit loud. I usually love the music selection, but sometimes I still listen to podcasts or my own music. I also see many (most?) others walking around with headphones, so by blasting the music so loudly you make us use our headphones at a higher volume, which is not great for our hearing. Lastly, the sauna isn't hot enough because it's a small room and every few minutes someone opens the door to get in or out, so it cools down quite quickly. I guess that's unavoidable though. Everything else is great.Edit: soon after my review, the music volume was reduced a lot. I hope you didn't make that decision purely based on my review, it almost makes me feel guilty. However, I trust you enquired with others and reached the same conclusion. Sorry for not reaching out to you, but I prefer to remain pseudonymous in my review.read more

Special mention to Firmin and Surinder - hence 4... stars!Came to have a look round and see what was available pool wise as my arthritis is becoming more severe and Firmin could not have been more helpful. Same when Surinder who called me back today as I had left a voice mail with the Edge a couple of days ago. Both were very informative and very friendly - nothing was too much trouble. Sadly for a 60yr old lady the mixed sex changing room arrangements in the pool area is a bit daunting and it was extremely hectic when I was there with the majority of changers being male. The female only changing room are ok but it only has lockers and one hairdryer... so will just dry/ change and shower at home. Not A1 clean but far superior to the Leeds City Council pools I've been to see (all of which were very dirty and smelly). Firmin did advise of the other female changing rooms on the other side of the building however that would mean walking in a costume all the way past the studios/ squash courts / reception to the pool.... I can't do that.I am going to try Aqua sessions (bookable on line) and the 'women - only' sessions in the pool and see how I go.read more

UPDATE：I contacted Rob, he is really nice. I... would like to say a big thank you to Rob for understanding this situation and help us! So far, my friend and i in general have wonderful experience with the edge. The reception is always friendly and helpful. I am impressed by Rob’s reply and how he deals with our sharing experience. I can feel they work together very well and ensure a friendly and safe environment for members. Thank you again❤️To the male staff with black beard this afternoon, you threatened me and my friend to leave because you claimed a workout session with friend is “coaching”. You kept pressing questions for a qualified license to my friend. But we are students and do usual workout here? Btw, many couples of friends were doing workout and helping each other at the same time. Whatever your truly intentions of your behavior, either for selling your lessons, sexism or else, you already got us attention of your manner, and ruined our experience with the edge. We will further escalate this issue if similar things happenread more

I will email Rob shortly, once I have collated some facts as I do not want to fall into the trap of echoing misinformation again (albeit information given to me by a member of staff). Also I am surprised that nobody complained at the desk on the 21/May, when myself and other swimmers fell foul to this strategy as they were as just as peeved as me, if not more. Once again thank you for the response.read more

Certainly! "The Edge" typically refers to the... outermost part of something, often a boundary or border. It can also symbolize the forefront or cutting edge of technology, innovation, or any field. It evokes a sense of adventure, risk-taking, and pushing boundaries. Metaphorically, "living on the edge" suggests living a daring or unconventional lifestyle.read more

You can tell that they worry about our individual goals and they'll try to help you as much as possible to keep improving. Their friendliness and motivation is invaluable!The gym facilities are great, with lots of equipment and rooms (swimming pool, indoor cycling, weightlifting..) and plenty of space even in crowded days/times.

Good: Gym staff are great and is equipped well.... The environment is also great for a workout and the gym itself is very clean.Downside: It is REALLY busy during term time, so I understand the booking system to use the sauna, but it’s pretty annoying (they didn’t used to have this before Covid). The fact that a lost card costs £5 when you pay nearly £50 per month is also a joke. I don’t understand why they can’t use a QR code on the phone like most other gyms do (without issue).Overall: it’s a great gym, although I don’t think they can fully justify the price as it currently is. However, when I am back in Leeds, I certainly will rejoin as I’ve been coming here for years now.read more

Although the gym is a bit pricey, I was willing... to pay for another year due to the fantastic equipment they provide, as well as the amazing customer service and approachability from the team. The staff are super friendly and always willing to help with any questions or even at times (politely) step in and advise you on your training. Its always nice to feel like staff are there to help and motivate you - as well as being a friendly face - which is not something I can say for all gyms! Although all the staff are lovely, I have had the best experience with Slavi as he has always been super friendly to myself and others, and he given me some great advice or just a friendly chat and it feels like there is a proper nice gym community between the staff and the members because of these interactions! :)read more

Been a member here on and off for almost 10... years. Just wanted to give a shout out to Dale, one of the Edge reps. I spoke to another rep about referring a friend to the gym and whether they would be eligible for a discounted membership. I was told flatly that this is not something they do and it is something that I can give as feedback instead. The rep didn't even bother trying to find out if there was a referral scheme (maybe new or there maybe a training need?).However, Dale overheard the conversation, politely took over the conversation, went through the options and found a discounted referral rate for my friend. Great customer service from Dale, there was a willingness to get the extra info for me.read more

I began to use The Edge Gym almost 2 months ago... by purchasing 20 hours of personal training sessions.Unfortunately my timing meant most of my period spent at this gym was within the substituted training room(s) due to the summer refurbishment. That said, the booking system in place at the time for all members meant the limited capacity of gym space was never overcrowded and working out comfortably was still possible. Luckily, I managed to spend 2 weeks working out in the newly refurbished gym space which evidently had a lot of thought put into its layout due to its spaciousness and abundance of newly purchased state-of-the-art Technogym equipment everywhere. Whilst working out, it was great to see staff cleaners walking around disinfecting and cleaning the equipment after use of others. I would definitely recommend The Edge Gym to others - especially University of Leeds students, for which such a facility is an asset.I would also recommend investing in a personal trainer at The Edge if you have the means as my experience with Aimee Lewis was nothing short of lovely. Aimee focused on consolidating a strong foundation into my fitness by initially focusing solely on the basics of the mobility and posture required for optimising training at the gym. She then tailored my personal training programme each week to ensure I was both having fun and challenging myself a little more. I did spend a lot of time complaining to her how I hated what she put me through (lol) but I always left my gym sessions feeling so much better - both mentally and physically - each time.My lack of one star in this review is due to the membership options. I never purchased a membership as this was not required for personal training sessions. However, now that I had wanted to use The Edge without a personal trainer, I was unhappy to learn the membership options were nothing less than a 3-month direct debit programme. The option of 1-month would’ve been better as I plan on going away soon. The one-off passes are also quite extortionate in my opinion, so do bear that in mind for those of you who are unable to commit.read more

Great sports facility with almost everything you... could ask for. A gym, swimming pool and various other activities.I only used the gym, it has a separate oly weights room with multiple squat racks (5/6) and deadlifting platforms. It then has a fitness suite and various free weight sections and a stretching/plyo space.The ample parking is free to the public after 5pm and weekends - don't chance it as ANPR is in use.I was only visiting for a short while and so purchased 12 visits for £80. Other gyms in the area (Total Fitness) wanted a minimum 3 week membership plus a bunch of joining/admin fees which would have come out at £180.read more

The gym should have an additional pullup machine, there is only one, and it's always in use. Sometimes the music is a bit loud. I usually love the music selection, but sometimes I still listen to podcasts or my own music. I also see many (most?) others walking around with headphones, so by blasting the music so loudly you make us use our headphones at a higher volume, which is not great for our hearing. Lastly, the sauna isn't hot enough because it's a small room and every few minutes someone opens the door to get in or out, so it cools down quite quickly. I guess that's unavoidable though. Everything else is great.read more

UPDATE：I contacted Rob, he is really nice. I... would like to say a big thank you to Rob for understanding this situation and help us! So far, my friend and i in general have wonderful experience with the edge. The reception is always friendly and helpful. I am impressed by Rob’s reply and how he deals with our sharing experience. I can feel they work together very well and ensure a friendly and safe environment for members. Thank you again❤️To the male staff with black beard this afternoon, you threatened me and my friend to leave because you claimed a workout session with friend is “coaching”. You kept pressing questions for a qualified license to my friend. But we are students and do usual workout here? Btw, many couples of friends were doing workout and helping each other at the same time. Whatever your truly intentions of your behavior, either for selling your lessons, sexism or else, you already got us attention of your manner, and ruined our experience with the edge. We will further escalate this issue if similar things happenread more

Thank you for replying to my review, regarding... cutting the number of lanes and forwarding a contact email. I will email Rob shortly, once I have collated some facts as I do not want to fall into the trap of echoing misinformation again (albeit information given to me by a member of staff). Also I am surprised that nobody complained at the desk on the 21/May, when myself and other swimmers fell foul to this strategy as they were as just as peeved as me, if not more. Once again thank you for the response.read more

I Will deffinately be going to the Dance classes and Body Attack again!. All the instructors were so friendly too so it made me feel a lot more comfortable as I was nervous about going, but I had such a good time!read more

Certainly! "The Edge" typically refers to the... outermost part of something, often a boundary or border. It can also symbolize the forefront or cutting edge of technology, innovation, or any field. It evokes a sense of adventure, risk-taking, and pushing boundaries. Metaphorically, "living on the edge" suggests living a daring or unconventional lifestyle.read more

My 5 stars go to the staff working here!! They... are really helpful, always willing to help and with lots of knowledge on how to properly train. Special mention (and thanks!) to highly motivated staff members as Slavi (you must try his HIIT classes) and Chloe (Body Pump..haven't seen her in a while though...). People like them know how to push you to give your 110%, choose proper exercises, guide you through them and vary them so that it does not become boring. You can tell that they worry about our individual goals and they'll try to help you as much as possible to keep improving. Their friendliness and motivation is invaluable!The gym facilities are great, with lots of equipment and rooms (swimming pool, indoor cycling, weightlifting..) and plenty of space even in crowded days/times. But, if it weren't for the staff and their excellent service, the gym would be just as any other.read more

Good: Gym staff are great and is equipped well.... The environment is also great for a workout and the gym itself is very clean.Downside: It is REALLY busy during term time, so I understand the booking system to use the sauna, but it’s pretty annoying (they didn’t used to have this before Covid). The fact that a lost card costs £5 when you pay nearly £50 per month is also a joke. I don’t understand why they can’t use a QR code on the phone like most other gyms do (without issue).Overall: it’s a great gym, although I don’t think they can fully justify the price as it currently is. However, when I am back in Leeds, I certainly will rejoin as I’ve been coming here for years now.read more

Although the gym is a bit pricey, I was willing... to pay for another year due to the fantastic equipment they provide, as well as the amazing customer service and approachability from the team. The staff are super friendly and always willing to help with any questions or even at times (politely) step in and advise you on your training. Its always nice to feel like staff are there to help and motivate you - as well as being a friendly face - which is not something I can say for all gyms! Although all the staff are lovely, I have had the best experience with Slavi as he has always been super friendly to myself and others, and he given me some great advice or just a friendly chat and it feels like there is a proper nice gym community between the staff and the members because of these interactions! :)read more

Our 6 year old daughter comes here every Saturday... morning for a 1:1 swimming lesson with Charlotte (sorry don’t know last name) for over a year now.My daughter also goes to a public lesson during the week with a council swimming baths, this said our daughter would not be at the level of swimming she is now without Charlottes input.Myself and my wife feel and think Charlotte does an AMAZING job with our 6 year old who sometimes her attention span can be short, Charlotte is very good at understanding how to mix it up / bring the lesson back on track.Well done Charlotte and keep up the great job you’re doing.I hope management pass this review on to Charlotteread more

Been a member here on and off for almost 10... years. Just wanted to give a shout out to Dale, one of the Edge reps. I spoke to another rep about referring a friend to the gym and whether they would be eligible for a discounted membership. I was told flatly that this is not something they do and it is something that I can give as feedback instead. The rep didn't even bother trying to find out if there was a referral scheme (maybe new or there maybe a training need?).However, Dale overheard the conversation, politely took over the conversation, went through the options and found a discounted referral rate for my friend. Great customer service from Dale, there was a willingness to get the extra info for me.read more

A proper gym that never has you waiting for... equipment, even after the 5pm rush hour.After the renovation, there are endless squat/bench racks. Worth the price if an alumni, student or extra money.If you’re a premium student member, note you have to email the help service to get your guest passes and reservation for any other service besides the gym like sauna or pool.read more

Look forward to joining this gym soon, I may just try out the climbing wall too!read more

I began to use The Edge Gym almost 2 months ago... by purchasing 20 hours of personal training sessions.Unfortunately my timing meant most of my period spent at this gym was within the substituted training room(s) due to the summer refurbishment. That said, the booking system in place at the time for all members meant the limited capacity of gym space was never overcrowded and working out comfortably was still possible. Luckily, I managed to spend 2 weeks working out in the newly refurbished gym space which evidently had a lot of thought put into its layout due to its spaciousness and abundance of newly purchased state-of-the-art Technogym equipment everywhere. Whilst working out, it was great to see staff cleaners walking around disinfecting and cleaning the equipment after use of others. I would definitely recommend The Edge Gym to others - especially University of Leeds students, for which such a facility is an asset.I would also recommend investing in a personal trainer at The Edge if you have the means as my experience with Aimee Lewis was nothing short of lovely. Aimee focused on consolidating a strong foundation into my fitness by initially focusing solely on the basics of the mobility and posture required for optimising training at the gym. She then tailored my personal training programme each week to ensure I was both having fun and challenging myself a little more. I did spend a lot of time complaining to her how I hated what she put me through (lol) but I always left my gym sessions feeling so much better - both mentally and physically - each time.My lack of one star in this review is due to the membership options. I never purchased a membership as this was not required for personal training sessions. However, now that I had wanted to use The Edge without a personal trainer, I was unhappy to learn the membership options were nothing less than a 3-month direct debit programme. The option of 1-month would’ve been better as I plan on going away soon. The one-off passes are also quite extortionate in my opinion, so do bear that in mind for those of you who are unable to commit.read more

Great sports facility with almost everything you... could ask for. A gym, swimming pool and various other activities.I only used the gym, it has a separate oly weights room with multiple squat racks (5/6) and deadlifting platforms. It then has a fitness suite and various free weight sections and a stretching/plyo space.The ample parking is free to the public after 5pm and weekends - don't chance it as ANPR is in use.I was only visiting for a short while and so purchased 12 visits for £80. Other gyms in the area (Total Fitness) wanted a minimum 3 week membership plus a bunch of joining/admin fees which would have come out at £180.read more
