This post will be mainly – okay, entirely – concerning The Scotsman Spa

In my 6 Gyms and Snax Cafe Breakfast post a month ago I wrote this -

“Our second stop is at The Scotsman. I like it here, so does Kyle. It is clean and well presented. The gym area is small but has everything you need and a nice atmosphere. I can’t remember what the kit was, Kyle thinks it was Cybex and I think he’s right It was good anyway Not lots of free weights but enough given the size of the facility. I am shocked when Kyle tells me it is £60 a month to be a member here though. I’ll be looking in to this place further and Kyle is investigating getting a deal here too. I’ll keep you posted ”

Eagle eyed readers will have noticed that all the pictures were also of The Scotsman facilities

It now gives me great pleasure to formally announce that I will be working from The Scotsman Spa from January 2nd 2012 Kyle will be working there too, as will Tom (Robertson, Factory co-owner and PT) so you know where to find us when you’re missing that Factory feeling

The gym area at The Scotsman Spa is very well equipped with over 60 pieces (both cardio and resistance) of equipment, including a Hammer Strength Power Rack, a Smith Machine and a great selection of Cybex machines ; a Leg Press, a Leg Curl and a Leg Extension; a Lat Pulldown and a Machine Row; a Chest Press and a Pec Dec; a Shoulder Press, a Bicep Curl and a Tricep Press; a Back Extension, an Abductor, an Adductor and a Glute Raise

The facilities at The Scotsman are first rate, as you would expect of a Spa in a 5 star hotel The changing rooms are spacious and luxurious, the lounge area is welcoming and relaxing with subdued lighting, and the picture of the pool speaks for itself There is a juice bar and a full food menu is available from The Scotsman’s kitchens. The Spa itself is also quite exciting – I’m going to treat myself to a few grooming treatments, which will doubtless amuse Kyle and Tom no end

The kind folks at The Scotsman have even worked out a membership deal for ex- Factory members – £40 off peak (6am – 5pm) and £50 for full membership. If you’re a personal training client then it gets even better as you don’t even need a membership to come and work with me

The Scotsman Spa is a really first rate facility and is very well situated on Market Street, a full 2 minutes walk from Waverley Station If you’re still undecided on where to train come January I’d strongly suggest a visit to check it out for yourself

At this point I’ll spare you further frothing

All the best for 2012
