Xcite Gyms Get Lifeline from Council | Edinburgh News
Description
West Lothian Council is throwing its full weight behind Xcite gyms, pledging nearly a million pounds in fresh funding and a “letter of comfort” to keep them afloat through 2026–2027. After surviving pandemic shutdowns and stiff competition, the gyms are roaring back—with memberships up 46% in two years and 21% this past year alone. They’re making fitness more affordable, delivering over 118,000 concessionary visits and generating £20 million in social value, up 40%. While some facilities like pools and a theatre closed last year, new plans are underway to reopen the pool and find a new home for the theatre through a charitable trust.
