Gymophobics Wetherby

I hate gyms, but felt obliged to join one after my osteopenia diagnosis. And I absolutely love it!! .... so different from the last gym I was a member of. A small, friendly, relaxed environment with a personalised programme that is reviewed regularly, but that can be changed whenever you want if you feel it's too easy or too difficult. There's always an instructor on hand to tweak your programme, remind you how to use the machines, or just to spur you on! I feel so much better for going - I've lost weight but more importantly feel so much fitter and healthier. I highly recommend it - even if, like me, you generally hate the gym!

Very professional, experienced instructors. A well run gym on all counts, a pleasure to be a member of this ladies only gym!

I absolutely love this gym and would highly recommend it for women of any age, any, size and any level of fitness. You have a programme designed specifically for you and this is constantly monitored by the wonderful, friendly, and very knowledgeable instructors. Exercise is good for your body, mind and spirit, and this gym targets all of these. It is also kind to your pocket as it is very affordable, unlike some others gyms I have used in the past.

I've been a member for 5 years and thoroughly enjoy going. Approaching 80 the exercise machines keep me supple and strong which is so necessary at my age. The staff are fully trained and both helpful and friendly. There is a friendly warm welcome from staff and users with exercise routines designed especially for you.

Wetherby Gymophobics is much more than just a small gym for ladies only. I have been a member for 8 years now and whilst I am undoubtedly fitter and weigh less than I did when I started, there have been so many more benefits that often remain unrecognised. I know I am not alone in saying this little community helped many of us through the dreadful ‘COVID years’ alongside plenty of other ‘personal challenges’ that we encounter along with ‘getting older’ just by being there. It is a very non-intimidating environment for members of all shapes and sizes to improve all aspects of their health. It is a known fact that exercise has benefits outside the obvious physical ones but it might surprise many to know that 90% of members also report mental health benefits. The benefits of the social contact for women, many of whom are retired, are a tangible aspect of being part of this community. The staff are friendly, supportive and knowledgeable without being intrusive. Thank you to all the Gymophobics community.
