Edinburgh Studios

Oh I’m first to review! Well, I’m not surprised to be honest, I’ve been living in Leith for a number of years now and never knew this place existed! Edinburgh Studios is a studio hire venue for fitness classes and events. It’s tucked away down Arthur Street, which runs parallel with Leith Walk. Through a doorway located above a Citroen servicing garage, you climb steps up to a large studio on the right. The timber floored studio is a decent size with a capacity of 60 standing apparently.
There is a small area for changing along with male and female toilets, however I think most people attending the class (New York City Ballet Workout) were already changed and raring to go! There are mirrors along the full length of one of the walls, big speakers for blasting out the latest Zumba tunes and a small moveable stage. Thankfully there was a water fountain, as I hadn’t brought any water — who knew ballet would be so exhausting?!
Check out the website for a list of what classes are available there, all seem to be priced around the £5 mark. Quite a variety of things on offer such as belly dancing, kettlercise, personal training, boxing fitness, jazzercise and yoga to name a few! There is plasma TV too, so I guess you can hire it for conferences and presentations too. The only down side (the minus one star) is the floor was a bit dusty, we are talking tumble weeds of fluff here but nothing a quick sweep wouldn’t take care of!
