Our members range from complete beginners to former (and current) competitive gymnasts. We offer around 10.5 hours of training a week during the Edinburgh University academic year including general gymnastics, acro gymnastics, and display practice. There are also regular competitions throughout the year for members who wish to compete. We are disability and LGBTQ+ friendly and no previous experience is necessary to join.
So whether you are looking for a fun active afternoon or a chance to compete, this is the sports club for you!

Are you a non-Edinburgh University student looking to try gymnastics? We have a recreational membership available with the Edinburgh University Gymnastics Club (EUGC). This allows you to attend our weekly Sunday sessions, and are open to everyone including non-EUGC members (there is a cap on this number, but there are still more spaces available than for our full non-student memberships). This means if you are a non-Edinburgh University student stuck on our waiting list, you are able to join and come along every week. For more information please see our 'Buying your Membership' guide (linked earlier under 'Memberships'), or you can email gymnastics@ed.ac.uk.
CONTACT: If you have any questions with regards to getting involved with the club then e-mail us on gymnastics@ed.ac.uk.
Check out the EUGC website for more information about our club. You can also find us on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and TikTok. Members and prospective members should request to join our closed Facebook group for more detailed updates about training and events.
We currently have a waiting list for non-students. If you are a non-student please email gymnastics@ed.ac.uk to be added to the waiting list. If you have not secured a place please do not purchase a membership.

Recreational members are not required to buy a gym membership. However, the recreational is a restricted membership so only allows you to attend our Sunday 13.30-16.00 sessions (for academic year/semester/on PAYG basis) and does not allow you to participate in competitions/displays with us.
PAYG rates for St Leonard's Land sessions:
For members not wanting to pay the full cost upfront, we have the Pay As You Go (PAYG) memberships. This membership also acts as a social membership for those not wanting to train that often. You will still need to purchase Sport and Exercise and Sports Union Memberships. We hope to get as many students involved with the EUGC community as we can!
- PAYG: £12 joining fee + £6 per 3 hour session (will be adjusted proportionally for shorter sessions).
Note: Sessions must be paid in advance via bank transfer. PAYG memberships are only available to University of Edinburgh students.
