Yes, we’ve got free parking right outside the gym on Borron Street.
I’ve never done CrossFit or Muay Thai before, can I still join?

If you’re doing Muay Thai, bring your own gloves and potentially shinguards, but we’ve got loaner gear available if you’re just getting started.
What’s the best way to get started?
For CrossFit, we ask all new members to complete a Fundamentals Session. In this one-off session, a coach will guide you through the key movements and class structure so you feel confident walking into your first workout. It costs £40, but that amount comes off your first month’s full membership if you decide to join.
For Muay Thai, you’re welcome to come along to any evening class, Monday to Thursday, regardless of experience. Our coaches will help you ease in, and no previous martial arts experience is required.
What’s included in a membership?
Every membership includes unlimited access to CrossFit, Muay Thai, and Open Gym, as well as full access to our member app, Wodify. Inside Wodify, you'll find a growing library of bonus programming including:

Do you offer classes for kids?
Yes—we run structured Kids Muay Thai classes every week, designed to build confidence, discipline, and fitness in a fun environment.
Our kids' classes are typically from 7 to 14, with coaches adapting sessions based on experience and ability. If you’re unsure whether your child is ready, just get in touch.
Classes are suitable for different experience levels, and sessions take place on Tuesday and Thursday evenings at 5.30pm.
Memberships are available for once or twice per week.
Can I bring a friend to try a session?
Absolutely! Friends are welcome to drop in for a session, it's £15 and can be booked online.
If they’re curious about what we do, the Thursday night CrossFit class is perfect for first-timers, with a friendly vibe and coaching that’s beginner-aware.
If your friend wants to continue after that and they're new to CrossFit, they’ll need to complete a Fundamentals Session before jumping into regular training. It’s a one-off session to learn the key movements and get comfortable with the format and the cost of which comes off their first full months membership.
For Muay Thai, no fundamentals session is needed, they can jump straight into any evening class, Monday through Thursday.

Best Experience
I had the absolute best experience at EDA last week! The coaches were fantastic, enthusiastic, supportive, and super fun. They even stayed after the session to help me learn bar muscle ups! The gym has everything you need to get an all around full body workout. I will definitely go back at EDA when I am back in Glasgow!
Christina Lessani
Gained Confidence
I've been going to EDA since 2018. I PT with Tommy and when I first started I couldn't do 5 sit ups, now I'm doing olympic lifts and CrossFit open is my favourite time of year.
I can't actually believe I said that but it's true. I've gained so much confidence in coming into the gym where as before I would have been terrified. Instead of hating it I now cannot wait to get there!
Tony Cannon
First Class Experience
Everyday Athlete gym is outstanding and first class.
They offer an excellent range of classes, PT options, as well as nutrition advice in a fantastic facility.
The whole team at EDA always deliver fun and challenging classes you just can’t beat it!
Erin Mackay
Dropped Two Dress Sizes
I joined this gym when it opened nearly 6 years and two dress sizes ago. Before coming here and meeting the coaches, I’d never been able to maintain the motivation needed to consistently train and traditional gyms were pretty dull to me.
At EDA you get coach planned and driven conditioning sessions (which are different every time), Thai boxing sessions, and lifting plans all provided as part of your membership but it’s not just because of the awesome workouts that I love it.
It’s an inclusive place that makes everyone feel welcome and supported and I’ve made friends here.
I would highly recommend it. You’ll come to get fit but you’ll stay for the banter!
