I wish you could book classes online as it becomes a bit of a drag always having to phone.

This is a great Athletic Club. Although small the weight room has everything I need. Plenty of cardio equipment as well as free weights.

It's one large pool then a separate smaller pool which has water slides and a small 'cubby'. There's also a separate large water flume and a nice Jaccuzi just offset from the main pool. The centre also offers a sauna, a large softplay area, outdoor 5-a-side pitches and it has a large multi purpose hall (and a function hall which can be hired for parties). There's a vending machine area with seating just inside the centre. The centre is also located in beautiful surroundings, with a large park all around. There is a great playpark which caters for kids of all ages just a few hundred yards from the centre itself. Well worth a visit!

This is the first time I have visited portobello swim centre since taking lessons at primary school…read moreand it was nice to return with my niece over 20 years later and I could see some changes but mostly as I remember. We enjoyed our visit, we both preferred it here than commonwealth pool or the WHEC as it is far less busy, and easy enough to get to by public transport, right on the beach promenade, it's a great location. This pool provide water toys and floats which we had lots of fun with but I must make you aware that the showers although partitioned are shared with both male and females and male attendants on duty but this wasn't a problem for me or my niece but it might make some people uncomfortable. Also, make sure you bring change for the locker because they don't have cash only card payment. It's handy to know that there are Turkish baths here too and a sauna but these must be pre- booked. All in all we had lots of fun and will definitely be returning again soon!

I have to confess that I've never ventured into the pool despite being the owner of an Edinburgh Leisure membership for the last 2.5 years.... The building itself is lovely & old. it's fair to say that some bits have withstood the test of time better than others. The best thing about it though is the cafe on the first floor. It's at the front, has lots of windows making it light & airy & more importantly, gives great views of the beach. I love sitting up there with a pot of tea & a freshly baked scone watching the waves crash onto the beach. They serve generous portions of the brekkie stuff. Their bacon rolls are generously stuffed & very filling, scrambled eggs are fluffy & come piled high on mounds of toast but my favourite is their home baking. I'm a sucker for a good scone. They do fab scones which are always fresh from the oven. Perfect after a run along the Prom. In fact their scones are the reason I run along the Prom. There's nothing like the promise of a reward to make me get out of bed on a Saturday morning & go for a run.

So after badgering my cousin-in-law to join the gym we haven't really had the chance to workout…read moretogether until tonight. Claire has been to this gym a couple of times whereas I favour Musselburgh for convenience to work location and familiarity of layout. The layout of this gym in the sports centre is on the upper level set in it's own wee world... This I like. The bikes, treadmills and cross trainers are the first machines to greet u as u walk into the gym, then thru an open doorway on either side of the opposite wall are all the weight machines/free weights... This I also like. There is definite structure to this gym but rightly so as it is on the neat side however in comparison to Musselburgh layout works better and there are more cardio machines for usage. The only thing I wasn't so happy about - the bikes are different with a much more confusing menu and not such an interesting screen to watch. Sure i'll get over that the more I use it and familiarise myself with it though. Will definitely come back to this one AND it's only a 5 min drive from my house!!

In the car park there is sometimes a burnt out car and as you enter you might start to have your doubts about this place. However, first appearances can be deceiving and that is certainly the case here. Whether playing in a University organised league (these are certainly worth looking into) or if you are just hiring a pitch (£40 per game - or £25 for the astropitch) this is a great place to play. Heading out of the changing rooms you head down a corridor onto the pitches. It's not quite up there with Anfield, but it will do for making you feel like a genuine footballer. On the field there are plenty of pitches, some better than others so choose carefully. A word of advice is to bring a bag with you. The one downside of these pitches is litter - not a great amount, but a quick tidy up will be worthwhile. It's not just a football centre it also offers badminton (£13 or £10 with a leisure card), table tennis (£7 - £5 with card), rugby pitch (£44) or american football (£46). The lesiure card costs £50 or £15 for young adults or over 60s (free for under 18s). For the full price details just visit the following link: http://www.edinburghleisure.co.uk/detail-437. A great all round sport centre and well worth a visit for sports lovers.

Jack Kane is on the bus route from the centre of Edinburgh and boasts at least 8 grass football…read morepitches. It is one of many such facilities in Edinburgh and lacks many of the advantages of its competitors. Although there are a large number of pitches, they are some of the worst in the city. A good pitch is uneven and covered in divots, and a bad one may have tire marks from a late night joyride, or the scorch marks from where it was later set on fire. Security, aswell, is a problem. My flat mate's football team had their (locked) changing room broken into. They had a few phones and wallets stolen as well as a set of car keys. The thieves then went out to the car-park and stole the car. Staff did not take responsibility for the incident, though they did call the police and handed over a copy of the CCTV. Apparently it is relatively common for children (the thieves were 9 and 11 years old) to try their luck. Jack Kane is not a good venue, though it offers cheap facilities and a large number of pitches. Only recommended if other places are too expensive or don't have space. RED CARD.
