Gym memberships near me: Some of the best Yorkshire places to get fit this January

Below, Sophie Mei Lan finds some of the best gyms and fitness centres across the region:

Boutique Gyms: For somewhere to get fit in style, try Trib3 which is a great way to enjoy a boot camp style fitness class in Yorkshire. They have locations in Leed City Centre and in Sheffield on Ecclesall Rd and Krynkl Complex in Shalesmoor. For a larger studio without the price tag of many boutique gyms try Coach Gym.

Weight lifting: Yorkshire Strength in Castleford is the venue for Olympics Weightlifting, Strongman, Power Lifting and functional conditioning.Hallam Barbell Weightlifting Club in Sheffield and Heavy Metal Gym in Ilkley also come recommended on google.

Crossfit has sites across Yorkshire where you can be led by an expert coach in a multifunctional gym without lots of complicated gym machines.

Health Clubs and Spas: Iveridge Hall Health and Spa garden, Rudding Park Hotel and Spa, Oulton Hall, The Hydro Pool and Gym Harrogate

and Thorpe Park Hotel and Spa also have leisure facilities to workout and then relax.

Council leisure centres: There are many free and reduced priced memberships available via your local council such as Aspire @ the Park in Pontefract part of Wakefield Council’s Aspire membership which offers climbing facilities and classes as well as the usual gym facilities. There’s also an impressive offer for those signing up to East Riding Leisure Centre in Bridlington with stunning views over Bridlington North Beach.Sheffield City Trust in partnership with Sheffield City Council also have memberships which include golfing and reduced price access to Ice Sheffield. Active Leeds is Leeds City Council’s answer to gym memberships across the city and surrounding areas where you can also organise your child’s birthday party including soft play and a bouncy castle.
