    Truly a gym from the dark ages, most of the equipments are broken, if you watch their videos from 2014 they still have the same equipments in the same places. Their stairmill is very dangerous, doesnt stop even if you press stop. The only good thing is the 3 monthly payments, apart from that it all quite mediocre. Toilet's often dirty, sauna and steam don't work properly. They dont even have the card scanner, you have to leave your gym card at the counter, and every gym I've been to have a scanner. Truly from middle ages this gym. Many eliptical machines have missing handles, some machine just don't turn on. Rowing machine is broken. The heavy weight room is in tatters, the ropes are old and broken. You guys need to seriously upgrade the machines. UPDATE: Cant believe you guys would lie through your teeth like that, very shady. I have reported these machines numerous times and they keep saying they have reported it and it will be fixed. It's alright, I'll post some pics in a couple days so everyone can see your lies. There is only 1 rowing machine, and the screen on it does not turn on, or if it does it keeps turning off. Same with a couple of eliptical machines. I've only joined the gym a couple days ago and only been on a couple times but already regretting. Be warned everyone, come for a 1 day pass and check for yourself.

    A fraud gym selling itself under the guise of equality and inclusivity. The gym itself is good, a range of equipment both cardio and weights but the concept of separate slots for gender at this gym is outdated and a misogynistic tool to try and pacify female gym goers. If this gym really cared about supporting women it would take into account their opinions. Women only times are non peak hours before 5pm but still pay the same as men. All gym’s which offer off peak hours charge significantly less. The idea that women don’t work or study is very much prevalent in the approach in which this gym has decided to market itself. You can immediately understand this gym is run my men who only prioritise the needs of their gender, refusing to listen to rational and fair arguments for women to be treated as paying customers for a service. Not just an afterthought for a flimsy marketing strategy of ‘women only sessions’. I am a huge advocate of safe spaces for women and women only gyms. However speedball is like other patriarchal businesses, somewhere you shouldn’t bother wasting your money. Other gyms may not provide women’s only entire gyms but they provide access to all the spaces for women at all times. Women cannot use the weights sections on weekends as men have complained it is distracting when they play football. I would like to know what is so distracting about women working out in a gym environment where people are expected to work out? The fact men have an inability to focus on a game of football they have paid to play with people of their own choice is a discredit to their ability to concentrate on the task at hand. For a local business to be taking money from a minority group ,setting conditions prioritising males is shameful. It’s an absolute disgrace women are charged £20 a month to have limited services with decision making in the hands of men who get to enjoy all the perks of the gym and pay the same amount. This gym does not empower women, the regulations applied reek of ignorance and uneducated male dominance. Women have fought for years to be given the same opportunities as men yet this gym sets back inequality in a matter of seconds with their vapid decision making.

    The people running it are really nice people, they treat you well. The place is busy and for me a good place to play in. The only reason I don't give five stars is that the netting needs to be fixed at the side of the goals so that the ball doesn't squeeze in at the side. Also need to use fish eye lens on the cameras to cover the full pitch like frame 2 do.

    Decent sized pitches, just hate the feeling of small astroturf bits going in shoes other than that it's a good place to play football

    I called and spoke to Speedball and they booked us in for one of their five aside pitches. This would have been a good time for them to explain costs and also that payment would need to be cash or bank transfer. We arrived and were told that the pitch hire was £55, this sounded like a wind up and there was no offer of a discount for just two people either, or any reduction for the 45 minutes we had the pitch for. There are places in Bradford that charge significantly less, and we would have gone there had it not been for the fact they were closed on boxing day. My suggestion would be to avoid Speedball and look at other venues which provide better customer service and who are up front about costs.

    The gym is calm and well equipped with a wide variety of machines for strength and cardio exercises. You can get benefit of the sauna and steam bath. There are three football courts as well with hourly reservation. The gym is for ladies only morning till 4pm and from 4pm till 12am for men only.

    Speedball has always been average. From the quality of the pitches to the service they provide. This has been the case for many years and there hasn't been any changes or anything to suggest things will get better. The pitches are heavily filled with those small black beads which can cause slips if you do t have the right footwear.

  • 4/5 I A. 5 years ago on Google
    Friendly staff. Great pitches. One thing that I've realised over the summer though is that they need proper air conditioning as it's been very hot in the building recently but other than that, I've been happy with the service. Usually paying less than a fiver per player in a 5 aside game but depending on the time of day, it can also be £3 so pretty cheap too.

  • 5/5 Nagina A. 3 months ago on Google New
    Love this gym. It’s the only gym I feel comfortable, safe and motivated. In a mixed gym I feel self conscious but not here. I wish it would open earlier for women around 4am 🤗 as my new job starts at 7.00am in a different town, so at the moment I can’t attend. Been looking for an alternative gym but can’t find anything like speedball. The huge selling bit for me is that it is womens only gym. ❤️ and if men are present they keep the women’s privacy. The staff are helpful, informative and always polite. Equipment is spot on, wish they had a boxing bag but where would they put it? Please try having earlier opening hours for women, 4am? 😬

    Lovely and very helpful staff there, the gym is also quite ok although when it's quite busy it's hard to use the equipment you want but it's less busy in afternoon, love the car park, and extra space to park outside, would prefer facilities being a bit cleaner that's all

  • 5/5 Zahir “Zee” M. 1 year ago on Google
    The team at Speedball are very accommodating and provided us an exceptional service. The pitches are extremely well mainrained with adequate lighting. Few of our team players travel once a week from Oldham to play!! Thanks to Bash, for allowing us a time frame if we ever turn up slightly late. We will always play at speedball after trying a few places. Highly recoomended to everyone - 5 stars all around.
