Its the pits and despite all the hype its not at all fit to be a national sports centre its best day are long gone , its staff look they have been imported from a 1980s time warp , its probably at that point in time when the centre stopped serving the community in a meaningful way. Staff with their lazy and indifferent work etiquette permeate the landscape , its dirty and disgusting in the changing rooms and canteen. They are supposed to be council run yet radio blares out standard commercial adverts for the likes of Delivroo , and any Edinburgh business with a faux community ethos who might greased some notable palms with silver. Diving is not possible as it used to be and restricted , like other reviewers have said they use any half staged event as a reason to close the pool and stop local Edinburgh people having access to the facilities many of them have paid for through their taxes to maintain and keep a poor quality workforce in a job some might say. The gym is always congested with personal trainers and their clients or wanna be's hogging equipment while doing stuff on their phone. If this really was a community gym they would put a notice up to stop such selfish and lethargic behaviour. The only time I see notices up are for the Commonwealth high up's own ego like when there was a BBC event on , they were ordering gym members not to have an intense weight lifting session in case the BBC heard it. Staff look miserable and unapproachable in fact they seem to revel in that vibe. Some will be talking for ages about their own personal life's before you get served on the front counter. The commie would be better of investing in self service till points. Locker rooms are well dodgy and that includes the state of those pathetic showers where your more likely to find lairs of pubes then soap. Used to love coming here as a kid it really did seem well maintained and run with some social pride back then not the case now , oh yeah the food in the canteen is shocking for a sports centre and all the healthy stuff is over priced almost three times the amount you get it or similar over the road in the newsagent /mini mart store. I really would not recommend this place to visitors and god only knows what you might pick up here.
