I’ve been a member of gyms all over the country and this is by far the friendliest environment to exercise in! The staff are brilliant and welcoming. There’s no egos in the gym and no juice monkeys either.Even if you’re a bit lax on getting to the gym, the membership is worth it just for the members socials!There’s machines and equipment to suit everyone. Plenty of classes, too. I highly recommend getting down and having a look! More...

Awesome gym! Their morning boot camps were a game-changer for me, getting me back into regular exercise - loosing well over 10kg, and now finding myself looking forward to the gym. Chris and the team really know their stuff, helping me gain gym confidence, and see drastic improvements to my all-round fitness and energy levels. Without question, the best gym in York! More...

I've been a member at FS since January and unfortunately, this week is my last as I am moving. This is the most friendly, warm, and welcoming gym I have ever been to (staff and other members). The classes are great, the gym is modern, and there are special social events such as the three peaks challenge. If other gyms seem daunting or impersonal, I can't recommend FS enough. I'm going to miss it. More...

I love this gym! I've been a member since January and couldn't recommend it enough! The staff are super friendly, approachable, and are really there to push you through your goals. It's modern too with great technology to sync equipment to your phone - making seeing progress and knowing what your plan is easily accessible and attainable. I LOVE the classes! As a dancer I'm obsessed with the dance classes they have going on there (great teachers) but also they have a range of other great classes too plus a heated studio which has the advantage of hot classes (I just finished a hot yoga class!).I'm currently doing a month of 'fit camp' which I'd highly recommend. On week 3 I'm feeling stronger, more empowered and have made some wonderful friends along the way who are equally supportive. Yes, the early start is rough (for me) but worth it for the results.They also do social events which I'm yet to participate in. Gutted to be missing the 3 peaks challenge due to work, but hope to do one in the future (again great if you enjoy being social too).Also the little things... I love the fab smelling hand wash and the sweat towels they provide. Plus ladies - they have GHD hairdryers and straighteners!! More...

I have been a member of Fitness Space York for around 6 months and love it. The atmosphere is like no other gym I’ve ever been to. The staff are friendly, approachable and knowledgeable, and they push you so much during classes / PT sessions. I actually enjoy going to the gym now and cannot get enough of the classes!Thank you for everything you guys have done for me the past 6 months. (Also there’s free fresh towels to use and a coffee machine).. More...

I started at Fitness Space on the 2nd of January after years of procrastination and failed gym memberships. In addition to the great staff and friendly atmosphere, Fit camp was the turning point. It has changed my look and the way I feel and I can’t thank Chris and the team enough. Best gym in York no doubt! More...

I started Fitness in June 2018 and have never regretted the decision since.The variety of classes, up to date technology and the ability to track your own progress through the app and composition machine makes Fitness Space one of the most sophisticated, yet fun gyms out there. The team are welcoming and friendly and always up for a chat (even when pushing you to do your best). I'm on the studio membership and have 1 PT session a month but purchased more in February to gain that extra push for achieving my goals.This is a 100% recommendation from myself to attend, the people, the equipment and the range of what you can achieve make this a no brainer.

Awesome gym, with great clean facilities. Staff are super friendly and easy to chat to. I’ve been having PT sessions for a while now and look forward to going to them. Equipment is fab and I’ve not seen better in any gyms in York. Great choice of classes which also include Yoga (and hot) and Dance with amazing teachers. So easy to make friends here and definitely lives up to its name of non intimidating. There are even little extra touches like GHD hair dryers and straighteners in the changing rooms and Cowshed products. Overall really happy with this gym. More...

The main thing that sets it above all the other countless gyms in city of York is that you will never have a better environment to train in. A place without any pressure, Intimidation or alienation. A place for any gym goer. And the best place I've ever trained in. Plus it's viking friendly... A real bonus! More...

I've been to many gyms over the years. This is by far the best. It's compact yet diverse in your choices. It's much more updated than any gym in York which has been a really help to me. And the most important. The staff are extremely friendly and approachable, which is important for me since i have Asperger's syndrome. And it goes without saying they are dedicated to your goals.

Great Gym! . If you prefer to just get your head down and train then this is a great place to do so. Modern equipment for all kinds of training. Big car park, cycle racks and a bus stops outside make it easy to get to. If you need any help the staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Go for a trial and you won't be disappointed! More...

How do you help your clients achieve their fitness goals?
We really get to know clients- their past exercise experience, likes, dislikes in the gym and long and short term goals. We provide expert knowledge and have created an environment that is clean, friendly, technologically advanced and non threatening, to ensure that clients feel at ease and comfortable no matter what their level of experience. We work with people of all abilities and always ensure we understand your barriers, limitations and what makes you tick. Sessions are fun but challenging and our coaches design programmes are tailor made. Clients love it and most importantly see results because of it.
What’s the secret to getting the body of your dreams?
Feeling motivated enough to work out is the first barrier. It is important to find something that you enjoy, then ensuring that your sessions are effective, and constantly changing to ensure your body stays challenged and your mind doesn't get bored. Then its about consistency, patience and time. It will come, just believe in the process and continue to work at it. But if we can design something that is enjoyable, and ensure you can stay focused long enough for fitness to become a lifestyle/habit, then we've cracked it!
What do you love most about your job?
Seeing people who haven't ever used a gym, and are often scared and intimidated at the start, consistently telling us a few months later how at home they feel in the gym, and how much happier and healthier they feel in general. That fitness is now a part of their life and they can't imagine ever going without it. Its amazing to see the change and know that we are a part of that. It really is life changing for some people.
What inspired you to start your own business?
The ability to help others to share in the benefits of exercise- how it makes you feel in your mind, as well as your body.
Why should our clients choose you?
I believe we are the best value gym/personal training space in York. Our equipment is second to none, our trainers are exceptional, and our environment is truly inviting and non intimidating. In addition we have many many clients getting fantastic results, and the majority had never been in a gym before coming to Fitness Space.
