You get the works at CrossFit Skirmish

Amazing Facilities

We have two CrossFit ‘boxes’ with all the kit and heavy metal you will ever need: concept skis, bikes, ergs, sleds, ropes, wall balls, boxes, echo bikes, rigs, and crash mats. Not only do we have the best ‘in-house’ facilities, but we also provide a Running Club at Saughton Running Track too.

CrossFit Membership includes beginner training, all class types (CrossFit, HYROX, Running), and our in-house commercial gym, Energy Gym. (See below for HYROX memberships).  In addition to expert programming and small group classes, we allow open box access when classes are not on so you can work out when it suits you. We are based at Meggetland Sports Stadium, so we love to take every opportunity to get you outside for workouts whenever possible. We also have an in-house cafe, physio, and unlimited parking.

Tasters & Beginner Training

At Skirmish, we offer everyone the opportunity to try a TASTER class. This allows you to find out if CrossFit or HYROX is for you. It also allows us to learn about your gym/fitness experience and assess whether you need to take a beginner course. If, after your taster, you aren’t sure if you need to take beginner training, email us, and our team will advise.  

Beginner training is for people with little or no gym experience, so don’t worry—we have everything you need to start from scratch. Our dedicated beginner small group sessions break down the basics to make sure you are confident and safe to take part in general classes. Our beginner classes set you up for both CrossFit and HYROX, as we cover foundation moves for both.

Expert Programming & Coaches – CrossFit & HYROX

Our coaches don’t only have CrossFit and HYROX qualifications.  They come with a broad range of skills and fitness experience from martial arts, to yoga, olympic weight-lifting and gymnastics.  Our coaches actively compete in functional training competitions so understand the training and competitive strategies required to compete at the highest level.  They can help you go from good to great and give you the support you need to reach your own goals.

Community

CrossFit and HYROX are group activities where you benefit from great coaching and support from both coaches and members.  Unlike standard gyms, you make great friends with like-minded people and soon find that you have found ‘your tribe’.   Not only do we inspire each other to be better daily, but you will find we are sociable and like to work hard and play hard.  CrossFit & HYROX training becomes a lifestyle, which is why you want to stick around. Indeed, some of our members have been with us for over 10 years and are now considered ‘family’.  Sign up for a taster today to meet the coaches and people – you won’t regret it.

I’ve been a member of Skirmish for 7 years and wouldn’t ever consider any other gym!! It’s more than an incredible CrossFit box, with supremely knowledgeable coaches and top-notch equipment. It’s a community of friends and a warm and wonderful environment where everybody matters, regardless of skill level, age or anything else. I couldn’t recommend it highly enough!

I'd been a member of Energy Gym (attached to Skirmish) for over 12 years (working with different personal trainers), but finally decided to give CrossFit a try 18 months ago. Coach Sasha taught me the basics in 1:1 sessions before I joined the classes, and I was instantly addicted. I saw results within weeks and have achieved more in the last 18 months than I have the 10 years prior. The style of coaching and the incredibly friendly and supportive other members means I WANT to go and I WANT to work hard - the results are just a bonus. Big shout out to the 7:30am crew - the best group by far. 😜
