This is the definition of a five star fitness experience. My partner found them online when we moved to Scotland about seven months ago, and I reached out to learn more. I was immediately contacted by one of their coaches, Scott, who explained the whole mentality of Gym on the Square- to help people get stronger in a small group training atmosphere that values community, without a focus on weight loss. As a person who shies away from a weight focused environment I was immediately intrigued. My goal is to get stronger, so I can hold my six year old, keep up with him while playing, decrease my chances of injury, and generally- just get stronger. They have not disappointed at all- in fact they’ve gone above and beyond. They will adjust workouts if I have something that’s bothering me or I have an injury, they switch up the workouts each month, and damn- the community- that’s the real reason I love it as much as I do! The members are all different ages, and everyone supports each other with words of encouragement every session. I’ve made several new friends. I cannot recommend a gym more than this one.

I stayed in Edinburgh for one month and decided to join the gym during my time there. It was my first experience with progressive overload training, and I couldn’t have asked for a better introduction.The personal trainers were extremely professional and supportive. They consistently corrected my form during exercises, made sure I was training safely, and helped me understand the principles behind what I was doing. I learned so much in a short time, and I also had a lot of fun thanks to the friendly and motivating environment.The gym was always exceptionally clean and tidy, which made every session even more enjoyable.I highly recommend this gym to both beginners who are new to strength training and to more experienced individuals who want to push themselves further. The personal trainers really know how to challenge you and help you reach your limits in the best possible way.

Having joined recently, I’ve found the gym to be the perfect fit to my schedule. All the coaches are really kind and supportive, and other members all very friendly too. It’s a welcoming environment, with a very clean and modern gym full of great equipment, and the team are great too to match it. Highly recommend investing in yourself and joining.

I really enjoy the sessions at the Gym on the Square. The trainers really know their stuff (and your name!) and give lots of good advice. The gym itself is super clean and well taken care of. Small groups 4-5 pax works great giving space also for personal attention. It's more expensive than many gyms...but less than a dedicated personal trainer...so you get what you pay for!!

I joined over a month ago after a trial session and I am really enjoying it! Everyone is really friendly and supportive to one another. The coaches are very patient, knowledgable and give great tips and feedback to improve. I highly recommend; especially to anyone new to a gym environment (as I was).

I joined Gym on the Square after a trial session and was instantly hooked! The team are friendly, knowledgeable and motivating — it’s such a supportive environment.Ideally situated just off Charlotte Square, it’s small, stylish and welcoming. There’s a great community feel, with sociable events and small group PT sessions that make it easy to meet new people while still getting personal attention.After recovering from an ankle injury, these sessions have helped me rebuild strength, confidence and prevent further injury. I could not recommend more, a gym like new other! 💪✨

Was a member for six months whilst working in Edinburgh. Top class trainers, the plans were always varied and high quality. Couldn’t recommend more if you’re looking at improving fitness and form.

I had never been a gym-lover before joining GOTS, and was a little nervous to join a gym, but I was made to feel welcome and supported from the very beginning. The coaches really care, pushing you just enough, and making sure that you are doing all the exercises correctly, to prevent injury and get the most from the sessions. I particularly love the sense of community that GOTS nurtures and the great people I have met through the gym. I always have a laugh in my sessions and leave feeling better (and stronger!).

I don't know what I could say that would better describe this gym than, I actually go and have consistently gone for 3 months which is not something I could say about previous gym memberships

A mile more than just a gym. Steven and the team really take the time to get to know you and offer a truly tailored experience, motivating and mentoring along the way. One of the top things I miss after moving cities. Keep up the good work guys!
