Pros: Central location, not overcrowded, good mixture of equipment.
Cons: A lot of the equipment is old and worn to the point that it affects how it can be used.

I was in York for one night and wanted to workout. The staff were happy to facilitate. The gym has a friendly yet focused atmosphere. People were there to work seriously. Some of the equipment is worn but they have what matters. I liked it a lot.

In York on holiday and contacted the gym regarding a day pass. Quick reply and I was in the next morning to train. Staff very friendly and a great set up in the gym. Will definitely be back next time we are in the city

Cleanliness was a big issue

What an absolutely fantastic time I have had the last 4 weeks on the boot camp you have been running at the gym and especially to Karen the instructor taking the classes , 3 a week for 4 weeks lasting an hour each class and not one class the same . Karen you obviously put a lot of thought planning each session and doing the class with us .Working so hard has given results ,my fitness and especially stamina has really improved . The one thing all of it has been is fun ,arriving each morning with a smile and leaving with a smile . I?ve been a member at emperors gym for some years now finding it a lovely and friendly place to come and workout .

Spacious but old equipment - in need of an overhaul

Great local gym and really friendly staff

Despite the equipment being a little dated, it is all fully functional and enables a great workout range.Aircon has recently been installed in the cardio area which remedies the only issue I used to have.Staff are great (especially Richard) and so is the music. They even skip Sophie Ellis Bextor if she invades the playlist. What more could you ask?

Pros:Great class and PT instructors - Deena, Tori, Hannah that I?ve tried.Classes are plentiful, quality and in a spacious studioBathroom is pretty good (looks only a couple of years old) with hairdryers, ample lockers and toiletsWide range of gym equipmentNegatives:2 of the showers don?t workNo hooks in showers or on doorsNo shampoo in showersGym area with cardio equipment is boilingGeneral aesthetics are very late 90s early noughties but not in a good wayGym equipment is rusty and dated. It?s very old and seriously needs replacing. It looks dirty as it?s gone past surface cleaning.The whole place needs replastering, air conditioning, painting, new windows / roofDrinks for sale are processed energy drinks / pre packaged cappucinos

Probably the most possibly inefficiently ran business in the world. First was incorrectly charged 150 pound by the gym and then went in to sort it out. The guy said I'd get a call, I answered the call explained and then said they would give my money back. It's been back and forth for more than 3 months. DO NOT TRUST THIS GYM WITH YOUR BANK DETAILS.

Shocking customer service, overcharged by 150 pound, admitted to it and still haven't given it after 3 months. DO NOT GIVE THIS GYM YOUR CREDIT CARD DETAILS. Do not risk it, Ebor fitness is a far better gym and half the price anyway

Recently joined and is a great gym with enough facilities for the majority of exercises.Good vibe of people just cracking on, quite quiet during the morning (6:00-8), same with lunch (13:00-14) same with evenings (17:00-18)Resistance training including machines for back, chest, biceps, legs, Smith machine, benches, barbells + more.Cardio including spin bikes, treadmills, rowing machine, stepper, cross trainer again to name a few.Similar prices to other gyms with multi options and classes are included in membership e.g HIIT sesh in the morning

Brilliant gym with a friendly welcoming vibe, the negative reviews on here are from previous management and staff who have mostly left. Sean is the new manager and he's made the gym a great place to workout, with a full timetable of varied classes run by experienced teachers. The members are very friendly and staff are always on hand to help.
