David Lloyd Edinburgh Shawfair Announces August Opening

There has been a significant amount of local interest in joining the new club, with many people living in the area signing up find out how becoming a member at David Lloyd Clubs can help them live a healthier lifestyle.

In further good news for the local area, the arrival of David Lloyd Edinburgh Shawfair will create exciting job opportunities and play a key role in the city’s leisure industry.

For those members who have already taken advantage of the early joining offer and secured their membership at the brand new club, the wait is almost over.

Michael Lindores, the new General Manager, has arranged to get the members together even sooner by arranging a local running club activity meeting twice a week. Michael says “I am delighted to be able to get the new members together so that I can meet them and they can meet each other. Community is a big part of what makes David Lloyd Clubs special so these introductions will pave the way for some friendships in the future.”

The centrepiece of David Lloyd Edinburgh Shawfair will be the 100+ station gym, which will house David Lloyd Clubs’ cutting-edge gym concept with an unrivalled array of best-in-class equipment. There will be four bespoke designed studios which will offer high-octane High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) classes, such as Blaze, to group cycling in Cyclone and mind and body classes such as SPIRIT.

A 20m indoor and a 25m outdoor heated swimming pool will offer a range of activities, including aqua aerobics, family swim times and quiet adult swim sessions. The new club will also feature three outdoor paddle courts plus four tennis courts inside an aerodome.

For families with children, private swimming lessons and tennis coaching will be available, and children can take part in daily activities and holiday clubs that offer fun and active solutions for parents trying to keep the little ones entertained. Sessions will take place in a dedicated DL Kids area and will be synchronised with the adult group exercise programme to give parents and guardians an opportunity to focus on their own fitness with the peace of mind that their children are being cared for.

For those looking for a luxurious wellness experience, the impressive indoor spa and spa garden facilities will include a Himalayan salt sauna, rainforest experience shower, hydrotherapy pool, heated beds to create a sanctuary of relaxation to recharge, revive and rejuvenate.

There will also be a Clubroom at the heart of the club, which will be carefully zoned to meet member needs, including a dining area with freshly cooked meals and a business area to catch up with work in peaceful surroundings. Families will love the dedicated family area with eating areas and an indoor playframe. An outdoor patio area will offer a space for outdoor dining and socialising on warmer days and evenings, with playground facilities for the children

The club will have a 250-space carpark and is well-connected to Edinburgh and surrounding towns in Midlothian and East Lothian by nearby bus, rail and cycle links.

The specific date in August for the opening of David Lloyd Edinburgh Shawfair will be announced shortly and those interested in membership are encouraged to keep an eye on the club website.
