Here you can find all the information on the Project Strength & Fitness back story and what motivates us to do what we do.

Our doors at Project Strength & Fitness opened in August 2020 right in the middle of a Global Pandemic. Like many others this showed us how important our health truly is.

Collectively we (the coaches) have many years working in chain gyms and witnessed the drawbacks of attending from a gym goers point of view. Here at Project Strength and Fitness we offer something to the people of Edinburgh that does not see them as a number in the door but a valued member of our community. To ensure this, we have capped the numbers of our members meaning a safe, hygienic and friendly environment for all our members, and us, to enjoy. 

We care about individual's needs and goals and will help track progress and push you towards them. So, what are your goals? Get in touch and let our team of fully qualified coaches help you now. 

 We are located at 25 Peffer Bank, Edinburgh, EH16 4AW. 5 minutes away from Arthur's Seat. We have plenty FREE parking available at all times of day.

There is a reason we named this class SWEAT. If you’re looking for a class where you turn up, pick a station get your head down and work then this is the class for you. This is a circuit class designed for all ages and fitness levels. With a mix of equipment and body weight exercises giving you an amazing full body workout in 30-45 minutes!

Project Strength & Fitness: Opinions

Fantastic experience: I travel from Fife 5 times a week to this gym....the atmosphere is great and the staff are fantastic, there is a real community spirit and if you turn up with the aim to apply yourself and put in the work this the place to come.

Fantastic experience: I’ve just completed the trial and absolutely loved it, so great I got to try everything and had access to so many PT sessions. Really changed my view on the gym, my training and I feel like I’ve got a purpose in the gym now. It’s only been 4 weeks but David has set up such a good project family and I’ve been welcomed in with open arms. Adds that extra touch that a commercial gym will ever have!! The sessions itself has helped me work on my form and push me out of my comfort zone. I’ve also had a session with Dion since joining and he is fantastic! Having him right at the gym and working alongside my training is a game changer. He knows his stuff and I finally have answers after years of niggles.

Fantastic experience: What can I say… I’ve never gone to the gym as much as I have done since becoming a member at Project. I’ve learned so much, gained confidence and I am very excited to see what I can do in the future. Community and team spirit is definitely the heart of Project and seeing the encouragement and support from all the members, David and the other coaches has been incredible! David has shown how to have fun while working out and believes in every single person. He is a pest though so don’t let him fool you …. like an annoying older brother but he has the biggest heart and will always have your back ☺️

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym! Best move I ever made was to Project Strength & Fitness. The trainers are professional, welcoming and know their stuff. I've been going for just over 4 weeks now and I'm already lifting heavier weights that I ever did alone. It is a trainer led gym and it feels like you have your own personal space to exercise, with access to all you need to improve your fitness and get stronger!

Fantastic experience: Project strength and fitness is nothing short of brilliant. I attended barbell club and David the owner was my coach. Not only is it a semi private gym so it was never over run but it has such an amazing atmosphere. David is an incredible coach he genuinely cares which is what makes him so good at what he does, he creates a plan for you based on the information you give and truly listens. Not just that but he is always checking in to make sure his clients are okay mentally especially through lockdown when he had his own struggles he never gave up in his clients. Highly recommend <3

Fantastic experience: David is such an amazing guy I wouldn’t go anywhere else, his wealth of knowledge is second to none and the motivation he gives you is amazing I love the fact he’s been a bigger chap like myself and has lost a huge amount but has also increased his strength, he’s not a show off and pretty boy who loves himself which you see a lot of now a days and I just can’t be bothered with that, he’s so down to earth and just totally honest with feedback with my fitness programme which I would rather it be like that no sugar coating it

Haydyn Talac 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I can’t speak highly enough of the Project gym. Everyone is extremely friendly and makes you feel so comfortable, I know how intimidating gyms can be however Project is the exception. David is my coach and he could not do for me whether that be in the gym or nutrition etc, always on hand for my monthly meltdowns :-) can’t wait to see what the future holds for Project!

Lisa T 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I've been a member of Barbell class since Novemeber 2020 and couldn't recommend it enough. The community, the gym itself and the coaches are all fantastic. If you're looking to start from scratch or just want a change, and want to do so with a friendly bunch of people who will encourage and coach you, get in touch with David and see for yourself!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality This place is great. I've watched it grow right from the start and it just gone from strength to strength (pardon the pun). Everyone is so friendly and Alfie is always on hand to boost your morale!

Stephanie Sloan 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I Love attending the classes at project. I always come away feeling great! (exhausted) but great! Lol. Soon as you walk through the doors you can see/feel the relaxed friendly atmosphere. I much prefer this to larger mainstream gyms as it’s a lot less daunting. The PTS/members are genuinely there to work out and have a good time lol not just to stare at themselves in the mirror for selfies... well except david

Mhairi McCall 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Ive always been so intimated by gyms but not once did I feel this at Project Strength & Fitness during my 1-2-1 coaching. Very professional, encouraging and supportive of your goals. The classes are also great and always filled with like minded people. Can't recommend this place enough just gutted I moved out of the area and no longer close enough to use.

Fantastic experience: Great gym and awesome people! Really nice, friendly atmosphere, no gym bros or selfie Queens hogging the mirrors, just people training with plenty of banter . Lots of quality kit and knowledgeable coaches, different classes available to suit whatever your needs are. For a private gym, the costs are very reasonable, especially when you see the money going back in for new equipment. If you're wondering if it's for you, it probably is, young, old, fit or not, there's absolutely something for you.

Sinead Aitken 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Been going to Project S&F for approx 16 weeks now, my biggest reason for going was for a structured gym plan and confidence. I needed confidence going into a gym alone for one. Then the confidence to get around the gym using equipment. Biggest change in me is my confidence. My body shape and strength is the next change. I don’t just look forward to PT I feel it’s now a mandatory in my lifestyle. One I look forward to. PT dav, David, Dave, big man. And his side kick Alfie. He even allows flip flop attire during summer. Thanks guys.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of project since its inception, David has helped me change my life for the better through exercise and a structured plan with clear goal setting. I have now competed in two powerlifting competitions and the scottish fitness championships. I never thought this would be possible. I was very unfit when I started with dave and written myself off in terms of fitness but now the sky's the limit and feel I can do anything. Project is more than a gym its a community where like minded people can get together and share their love of lifting. I love what Dave has done here and my own personal experience is an amazing one. Great place run by a top class coach
