Pitt Strength owner Bob Neillings is adding specific classes for retired and older clients as the West Shore Road gym continues to grow as part of a £1.3 billion Granton Waterfront Regeneration project.
The state-of-the-art gym is operating alongside businesses in other sectors and close collaboration has played a part in early successes, Bob says.
Describing the project as “vibrant” Bob says: “This creative and collaborative warehouse space is exactly what we were looking for, offering opportunities for us to grow as a business and give our clients even better training space and facilities.
“For example after work-outs it is possible to have a cold dip on site at Soul Water Saunas as well as breakfast.”
Pitt Strength set up shop in Granton around two months ago and Bob says: “We are growing steadily with a range of classes in morning and evenings offering functional fitness.
“I have been coaching in gyms since I was 17 – I’m now aged 42 – mostly in Portobello and Leith; having this space in a village type location with businesses supporting each other is a brilliant concept.”
