What we are doing to keep you safe
In order to make the Centre as safe as possible, it has been necessary for us to make some changes to our facilities and how they operate. Our selection of changes have been guided by industry and Government experts, including, UK Active, the Scottish Government and Public Health Scotland. The changes also enable us to continue to comply with local government advice and guidelines in regards to personal hygiene and social distancing.
Safety measures that we have put in place are:
- We are cleaning and disinfecting our facilities with an enhanced cleaning process, using detergent and disinfectant to sanitize all gym equipment.
- We have protective screens at our reception desk and have provided the Sports team with PPE.
- A member of the Sports team is stationed in the Fitness Suite to help you with the new guidance and to answer any questions that you may have.
- We supply disinfectant spray and disposable hand towels so that members can clean the equipment before and after use.
- There are hand sanitizing stations available throughout the Centre.
- Selected equipment has been switched off, removed or taken out of use to maintain distancing and hygiene guidelines.

“The convenient location of QMU’s Sports Centre means that I can easily fit my gym sessions in around my busy work schedule during the day or in the evenings. It’s close to Musselburgh train station too, so I can be back home in Edinburgh in just a few minutes.
The staff are really friendly and professional. They’re always on hand to offer personalised advice and tips on how to make the most of your gym sessions too.”
