The year is almost out but we have plenty for you to still enjoy this December, to make the most of 2024 and really kickstart your 2025! 

Festive Open Day

Looking for something different to do between Christmas and New Year? Join us for our annual Festive Open Day. Activities for all ages including Inflatable fun and taster classes for the kids and Open gym sessions in our newly refurbished gym for the adults, plus much more. Book your spaces here.

Festive Opening Hours

We hope you have some festive fun planned for December! On Friday 13th we will be closing at 5:30pm due to staff training. We will also be altering our operational hours from 16th December to 3rd January. This is to help ensure our whole Oriam team and customers can rest and enjoy some quality time with friends and family. 

New Look for Oriam Fitness Suite!

We're excited to start work on refreshing our member's Fitness Suite. This project includes new equipment, updated layout and a fresh new look. We're also looking forward to adding a few new classes to our group exercise timetable in the new year. The Fitness Suite will be closed from the 9th - 15th December whilst the work is completed. Our Strength & Conditioning Suite will be open to members and we have adapted our group exercise timetable during the closure. Get the latest details from Mandy our Fitness Manager or get the temporary Group Exercise timetable in the links below. 

Good Luck to our Students

It is exam season again. Good luck to all students currently preparing for exams and submission deadlines. It can be a stressful time so remember to be kind to yourself, take regular study breaks and stay active to help you stay fresh and focussed. A short walk, run or workout can really help your physical and mental health during stressful times. Visit us for a well earned break, guest passes available if you haven't got your membership yet. Heriot-Watt Students can also access a range of wellbeing support through the university here.

Tennis - One Year On

Can you believe that our Indoor Tennis Centre is almost a year old already? We'll be celebrating this first year of our Tennis Centre and Tennis programme early in the new year. 

If you would like to be one of the first to know about our future events, competitions and Tennis court bookings then join our Tennis Community in our monthly Tennis Newsletter. 

Indoor Pitch Renovations

The final stage of our synthetic pitch renovations is now underway. Our Indoor Synthetic Pitch is currently being fully refurbished with industry-leading surface. This work is crucial to maintain the high standards our community, students and performance athletes expect from our facilities. The Outdoor Synthetic and indoor Academy Synthetic were completed earlier this year.

Alongside the new pitches we have updated our footwear policy for our pitches. If you are playing, coaching or refereeing on our synthetic pitches please wear moulded plastic studs. No metal studs, astro-turf boots or trainers please as these can cause permanent damage to the pitch surface.
