😐 I really like this gym but is in dyer need of some new machines though! They need to branch out with what machines they buy instead of just the basics, also wish they wouldn't let as much school kids in that just mess around on machines whilst you're there. People often mention staff, class, good, friendly,

    Great gym, especially the classes (pump and TRX) instructors. My only disappointment is with the online booking system (this is an overall Bradford council issue irrespective of the gym you attend), nothing to do with the staff. It frequently crashes, it's extremely frustrating and sometimes by the time it does come back, it's too late to get on a class. The system has been like this so for quite some time. Just wish someone within the council would resolve it. For someone like me who lacks motivation, it's the only excuse I need to skip the gym 🤣🤣. If It wasn't for this, I'd give 5 stats as I can't fault the staff or the instructors!

    I booked badminton court during an evening. The lighting is not suitable for playing badminton. The light which is placed downward from roof will directly fall in to our eyes when high lifts are performed.

    Dont bother booking the 3g pitch. Abysmal customer relations and almost double the price (£60 / hr compared to £35 / hr) less than a mile away (with it has to be said better facilities) Teething babies dribble faster than the showers, at a height of 5 feet and 9 shower heads in a space approx 6ft by 6ft they are embarrassingly challenging to use, add to this the absence of temerature control you are either scalded or frozen, pot luck. FOH staff are lovely. Management and building are both significantly lacking. Dysfunctional and would be shut and finished if the school wasnt next door.

    Great gym. Really supportive and not judgemental. Abs/core class on Monday's are for everyone of any level. So positive. Without the friendly people I would not have kept going.

    There's a great exercise class for women on a Thursday evening , run by two really motivated and friendly ladies who also have a running group on a Tuesday . It's been a while since I've been but if the exercise class is still going i would highly recommend it if you want to get fit .

    Is very good place for different sports, signed up for a fencing course. It's clean people are friendly. There different fee plan depending on which class or course you want to join. Fencing I paid £40 for 10 weeks and it's one day in a week for me it's tuesday don't know if they have classes on other days aswell. They have gym, motivational courses aswell. A good place to start :)

The only reason I use the Shipley Swimming Pool is due to the Swimming teacher’s who are very professional and well mannered. I would definitely give 5 Stars to the Swimming ins...
