Village Gym Leeds North

This gym used to be good. Now, it’s anything but. They never clean the equipment, when they do, they do so for less than a minute before moving on. The gym is always a mess. Equipment everywhere which is never put back in place even when you go as soon as it opens. Most of the lockers don’t actually lock and the car parking is an actual nightmare. If you come past 17:00 you’ll be driving around looking for a space and risk missing or being late to your class if you’ve booked one. My partner also couldn’t attend the gym anymore due to a knee injury, and even when he provided a doctor’s note, they still tried to charge him. Certainly not worth the price which they increase every year. At the end of 2025 they upped the price by £5 a month yet make zero improvements on the customer experience.

I joined this gym a few months ago after comparing to other gyms in the local area and this was by far the best gym. It has a great variety of classes, a lovely swimming pool, sauna, steam room and cold plunge pool. The gym is fantastic with a huge variety of equipment and free weights. A special mention goes to personal trainer Eliza. I signed up for some 1-2-1 sessions with her which proved invaluable. Her knowledge is vast and she listened to what I wanted to achieve and designed 3 programs for me to follow for upper, lower and full body strength training. I highly recommend her! I've found all the staff friendly and the changing facilities are great. too.

The gym is absolutely lovely! I was a member before the refurbishment and I can’t believe how much it has improved—it’s such a great change for the better. All the members and the staff are so friendly and welcoming. A special thank you to Eliza in the gym, who was more than happy to help me when I asked for some training advice—she was fantastic! Jeannie was also really lovely to chat with. Overall, it’s a great team here, and I’m really impressed

Honestly, quite disappointing. The parking is almost always full, no matter the time or day, which makes every visit unnecessarily stressful. The gym itself is small for the amount of members it receives, especially between 5 and 7 pm, when it becomes practically unusable. Even with the recent refurbishments, it still lacks a lot in terms of space. What makes it worse is the parking situation behind the hotel. That’s usually the only place you can leave your car, yet if there’s a private event, they refuse to let you enter or leave through the back door, even though the gym entrance is literally a 10-second walk from there. Instead, you’re forced to walk around the entire hotel, often in the rain, just to reach your car. For a gym this expensive, it’s a ridiculous inconvenience. I didn’t give it 1 star because the staff are genuinely friendly and the equipment is in great condition. Those are the only two real positives. Besides the private-event security staff, who seem to have an extremely important duty that apparently doesn’t allow anyone to walk 10 seconds from one door to the other. I’ll continue going because it’s the closest option and I’m tied in for at least another three months, but I really hope they address the back-door situation and improve the overall experience.

The gym is fantastic—I joined on my sister’s recommendation and I’m so glad I did! The pool area is excellent, perfect for relaxing, and all the staff are really welcoming. A special thank you to Gracie at reception, who is always so welcoming, and to Eliza in the gym, who always has a smile on her face and is happy to help anyone who needs it. She recently showed me how to use a machine I wasn’t sure about, and I’m really grateful for her support. Big thanks to them both, and to the rest of the brilliant team. I’ve only recently joined, but I already love it here!
