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.

I recently visited Village Gym North Leeds and was really disappointed. The facilities themselves are excellent with brand new equipment, lots of class studios and a lovely pool area. I was previously a member 4 years ago and they have expanded the gym in recent months, however it feels like they’ve also significantly increased membership numbers. I went on a Tuesday evening and the car park was absolutely rammed. Cars were abandoned on the grass and on double yellows. I eventually got a space, but it shouldn’t be that difficult or stressful just to park for the gym. Inside was no better. Not a single treadmill free. The sauna was so overcrowded that someone was standing inside, and there were people outside waiting for a space. It felt chaotic and stressful, not what you expect from a premium-priced gym. I spoke to a member who said parking is a nightmare most evenings. I’ve been a member of numerous gyms over the years and I’ve genuinely never seen a gym, car park, or pool area this crowded, even during January rush periods. The facilities themselves are excellent, but the overcrowding is on another level and something potential members should be aware of.

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 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!

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

The helpful and pleasant attitude of both the hotel and gym reception staff is first class and a credit to them. Amy, Rosie, Jasmine and Alanya in the gym and Chloe, Annie, Jodie and Eileen at the hotel reception all deserve praise. Well done!

Been going to this gym for 3 years now and I absolutely love it. Gym has good equipment although it is a little small but big enough and plenty of other rooms for doing bag work or cardio. Pool and sauna/steamroom are great, friendly staff, tvs in gym which is a nice touch, has a great community feel. Only issue is cancelling membership can be a bit of a nuisance due to having to give so much notice.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Outdated tech, incompetent, rude staff and shut the spa but then put the price up? Make it impossible for you to cancel your membership as well and lie to you in the tour. Plenty of other gyms where you can see where your money is going in terms of customer service and facilities

Great local gym facilities. Changing rooms are modern and clean. Adult only swim times mean lane swimming is possible/enjoyable. And family swim times are lively - the kids love it.
