New gym, extended swimming, and fitness classes launching this September

We’ve got some amazing news to share - Xcite is bringing a brand-new community gym to West Calder High School, opening mid-September.

For the very first time, West Calder residents will have access to state-of-the-art Technogym equipment, right on their doorstep. It’s the same first-class kit you’ll find across all our Xcite gyms - and the best part? Access is included in your Xcite membership.

But that’s not all… we’re also extending public swimming access in the pool and building an exciting timetable of group fitness classes to give you even more ways to get active, stay healthy, and have fun.

We’re so proud to be working in partnership with West Calder High School to make this happen. Together, we’re creating a shared space that benefits pupils, local residents, and the wider community.

Karen Pearson-McGrath, Sports & Services Operations Manager at Xcite, said: “This is fantastic news for the pupils of West Calder High School and the wider community. Our mission is to improve health and wellbeing across West Lothian by encouraging active lifestyles, so being able to launch Xcite facilities in yet another area is a huge win. We can’t wait to welcome customers to the new facilities very soon.”

Gerry Higgins, Head Teacher at West Calder High School, added: "This partnership with Xcite has been a fantastic example of what can be achieved when schools and organisations work together. Operating under a shared use model, the new fitness suite offers our pupils access to amazing, modern equipment that will support their physical and mental wellbeing - and we’re equally proud that it will also be open to local residents.

We are delighted to be working with a partner such as Xcite, who share our passion for healthy living. By opening access of this facility with the community, we’re creating a hub for health, connection, and opportunity. We believe the benefits will be long-lasting - not just for our young people, but for West Calder and the surrounding areas as a whole."

We’re putting the finishing touches on the gym right now and can’t wait to show you around. The official launch is set for mid-September - so keep your eyes peeled for more updates coming very soon.
