    Best Gym in Wakefield by a mile! Always greeted with a smile and everyone who works or trains at the gym are really friendly. Plenty of equipment and decent music too! The membership is dirt cheap too!

    Great gym to train at in Wakefield. The atmosphere is always good and the music is bang on too. No egos in there. Just a gym full of people putting in the work 💪🏻

    As a bit of a veteran when it comes to training, I’ve trained at lots of gyms in the area over many years and AStar for me is the best out of all of them, hands down! It has a real family vibe minus the ego’s, and attitude present in most gyms. Just a friendly bunch of membership. This gym has class equipment, top tunes and all the staff and PT’s are a credit to the cause. Long live AStar! Highly recommend.

    I joined A Start a few years ago. I must say it has been an incredible experience so far. From the moment I walked in, staff member Lizzie greeted me with warmth and enthusiasm, creating a welcoming atmosphere. Lizzie is heart & soul of this place, she's always there with biggest smile you can possibly find, no matter the bad British weather some people say... keep it positive! If you had a bad day, Lizzie will make you smile 100%. "I will see you tomorrrroooow, keep smiiiiling!!!" she shouts at you when you finished, leaving you with no other option but coming back again. Your first visit at A Star is free of charge, so you can play around and make up your mind if you like it or not. The community at A Star is top-notch, everyone is very friendly and supportive. Fantastic people to be around. I've had a pleasure of meeting fellow members, whom today I call my best friends and spend time with outside the gym environment. Great equipment, positive energy, motivation, big-smile, laugh, good-times are words to describe A Star Gym. "Lift Heavy" is something I should add to my own vocabulary too - Go Hard or Go Home!

  • 5/5 Ria B. 8 months ago on Google
    Absolutely amazing gym. I started here 2 years ago, scared of what to do and a total gym novice. This is literally the most friendly place. Keith has created a wonderful community with the best equipment, fantastic PTs and a fab atmosphere but equally it’s totally inclusive. No one would feel intimidated. Could not recommend it highly enough

  • 5/5 Sophie J. 8 months ago on Google
    Amazing gym! Always a really good atmosphere & the best music playing to help you keep going strong for your work out. The equipment is great, the gym is always spotlessly clean and all the staff and members are really welcoming & friendly, especially Lizzie on reception! :). This is the first gym I’ve been to where I don’t feel intimidated or judged, and have the confidence to train on my own.

  • 5/5 Oli A. 7 months ago on Google
    Hands down best gym in Wakefield. Great equipment, good community feel and a solid team of people running the show. Can tell they put the effort in to listen to their members and try new things - always seem to be investing in the gym. I don’t live in Wakefield but make semi frequent visits - high up on the to do list is go train at A Star. Reasonably priced as well. Keep it up.

  • 5/5 Luke B. 9 months ago on Google
    Astar muscle and fitness is a very welcoming gym and you always get greeted with a smile in reception. The atmosphere is what makes this gym along with some of the best equipment there is whatever your goal may be, Keith (the gym owner) is always around if you need a helping hand with anything. When you’ve finished your session you can also grab a meal and/or they also offer a wide range of supplements, I’ve been training here over 10 years and I’d never choose anywhere else.

  • 5/5 John S. 1 year ago on Google
    Friendly staff made to feel welcome good training session would definitely go back

  • 1/5 Cameron J. 1 year ago on Google
    Clean but very small, often overcrowded gym which is more like a nightclub at times. Very off-putting.

  • 5/5 Matthew G. 1 year ago on Google
    I have been having PT sessions with Kieth for the last 7 years. The Gym is very friendly, clean has all the equipment you need, and a real great atmosphere, Highly recommended

  • 5/5 Yorkshire P. 2 years ago on Google
    Just joined up, was apprehensive as I'm a female gym novice. I thought I might be intimidated by the body builders and expert gym goers. But there's a reason they go here! Everyone is very friendly, there are lots of personal trainer options and on site sports massage. The lady on reception is really friendly and welcoming, she regularly takes time to have a little chat with me and give me encouragement. I feel really welcome and comfortable here and there is lots of equipment, therefore you are never waiting to use anything and all the classes are included in the price too. It really is a great place to be, there are no ego's just great equipment and atmoshphere.
