New Mental Health Hub now open at ocean Terminal
Our new mental health hub is now open at Ocean Terminal.
The hub, which is the new home of all Projekt 42's mental health services, is located in unit 32/33 on the first floor of the centre next to what was Debenhams at the port end.
All fitness activities are now paused
All online streaming and outdoor activities have stopped as of 30th June 2021.
Why? Because Projekt 42 has a new permanent home and, to get ready for a relaunch of our indoor fitness and yoga activities, we're going to focus on refurbishing the new venue.
The new venue will be open by Autumn in Leith!
Understandably, having to pause our fitness services is sad news but we hope you understand why. It means we can focus on building a space we'll all love to work out in.
Mental health services are unaffected
We have worked hard to launch additional online fitness and yoga activities. We have listened to your feedback and have started to add more activities, such as Barbells, Yin and Intermediate Yoga.
Take care of your physical fitness and mental health in one place.

The auto-recurring monthly membership subscription subscription includes all the group fitness and yoga classes on the timetable which are held in the main studio.
Membership costs £35 per month and can be purchased in the “Memberships” section on either the Glofox app or the web portal.
The only things it doesn't cover are the additional classes, courses and workshops we run from time to time, as these are always outside the usual class timetable and come with additional costs to the charity. Small personal training classes are also not covered by this membership.
Please note: there is an additional one-off £5 sign-up fee for new subscribers.
Cancelling your membership
The membership subscription automatically renews until you cancel. You can cancel at any time by emailing cancel@projekt42.co.uk, giving at least five working days' notice prior to your membership renewal date. Refunds will not be given if five days' notice has not been received.

About
Projekt 42
Projekt 42 is the UK’s first wellness centre to combine personal training, group fitness, yoga and mental health services – all in one membership subscription. We make booking to see a Person Centred Counsellor, Cognitive Behavioural Therapist or Psychotherapist as easy as booking a fitness class. Our aim is to help communities see and understand the connection between their physical fitness and their mental health and the need to take care of both.
We are different to most commercial gyms. We have no shareholders and we employ a circular revenue system where up to 40% of the membership fee that people pay to access our services goes towards paying for community members to access free and part-funded counselling, free monthly memberships and community programs. We opened in 2017 with four volunteers and now have a team of over 100 people working together to help as many of our community members access fitness, yoga and mental health services.
We use the profit that would ordinarily go to private shareholders to do the following:
- Deliver over 150 hours of fitness, yoga and meditation classes each week. Everyday there are a number of free activities from fitness to yoga, and class prices starting from £1.50
- Work towards reducing the barriers families face when accessing physical fitness and mental health activities by delivering family activities, allowing children to participate in classes and having an on-site crèche staffed by a childcare practitioner
- Have a team of 40+ counsellors, psychotherapists and Cognitive Behavioural Therapists working alongside our fitness team. We provide funded counselling sessions to anyone who applies via our self-referral application form. For the most vulnerable people in our community, access to our counselling service is free and for those that can contribute, our subsidised price per session starts at just £7.50.
- Provide support and funding for people to train towards completing fitness industry qualifications and support towards gaining employment
Charity
Activities
We can support several different charitable activities through the sale of the monthly membership and pay-as-you-go class fees. Every time you attend a class or continue to pay your monthly subscription fee, you are helping Projekt 42 to not only support people with free and low-cost counselling but you're also helping support the following activities.
Senior Wellness Club
Projekt 42 supports senior citizens in Leith attend group fitness and yoga activities. The wellness club runs five days a week and brings together seniors in the community for yoga, Zumba, weights based circuits and community walks. This summer, we are excited to launch our senior wellness garden, where we can bring together planting, gardening and outdoor chair yoga.
Free physiotherapy-based fitness programmes
If you need a little help to gain the strength and balance required to attend our group fitness classes, our sports therapists can help design a 12-week online physiotherapy programme. The team can create home exercise programmes supported by over 4000 exercises with videos, information booklets, and step-by-step instructions, motivating you to stay on track.
Cancer Rehab Club
Cancer rehab is a program that helps people with cancer maintain and restore physical and emotional well-being. Cancer rehab is available before, during and after cancer treatment. We provide free and low-cost counselling to help people through cancer treatments, helping cancer patients build back strong.
