The Bar and Kettle

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym and community. The classes are brilliant with a great team of PTs. The sessions are really varied and the PTs are great motivators. They are always happy to give adaptations if you have any injuries. If you just want to use the gym, they have a great ‘open gym’ membership as well. The gym itself is well equipped and has everything you could need. So glad we found this gym when we moved to the area!

Fantastic experience: A wonderful gem of a gym. Very sad to leave as moving from the Hillsborough area. A proper hub of the community

Fantastic experience: I joined the bar and kettle not long after it opened in June/July 2023 to start my wellness journey. I was extremely overweight, self conscious, under confident and struggled with my mental health. But the whole team at the bar and kettle made me feel at home and made me feel like I belonged in that gym as much as anyone else as did the members. This enabled me to continue attending the amazing classes they put on and push myself. I’ve gone on to loose a significant amount of weight by changing my lifestyle and I am so thankful for the bar and kettle as I don’t think without their support and friendly community gym environment I would have succeeded on my journey. Pts know exactly what they are doing too great experience and will give adaptations if unable to do certain things or suffering with any injuries.

Fantastic experience: INCLUSIVE, WELCOMING, NON JUDGEMENTAL and my happy place. Just some of the words I’d use to describe the gym. I’m disabled and have been trying to lose the weight I put on when my mobility was affected. The team have been amazing. They make adaptations and ensure I feel safe and comfortable. You’ll find different people of all shapes and sizes here. If you’re thinking of joining, come as you are. You’ll be embraced here. I don’t feel invisible anymore. I’ve been able to get fit whilst learning the correct way (form) to exercise and lift weights. I can see the results after 3 months. The PTs explain the mechanics of each exercise so if you’re a geek like me, you get an education as well. I’m low income but this is my “splurge” item which I refuse to compromise on. It’s worth every penny and I’m happy to support a small local business run by a super woman!!!

Fantastic experience: I've been a member of this gym for sometime now and absolutely love it. The PT's are knowledgeable and friendly. It's such a welcoming atmosphere. They are each and everyone's personal cheerleader and know how to push us past our own expectations. It's definitely value for money too ranging from £20 to £80 for different plans. Yeah there might not be a swimming pool or a sauna but in places that do have them things you definitely don't get the same level of staff that you do here. I would recommend anyone to join this friendly, inclusive gym. You'll make friends, build confidence and strength. It's good for the body, soul and mental wellbeing.

Fantastic experience: Such a great place to train! The PT’s are knowledgeable, friendly and have time for everyone. So much more personal than a big commercial gym, if you really want results I cannot recommend it highly enough

Fantastic experience: As someone who has never been a fan of gyms, I am really grateful for The Bar and Kettle! My fitness needs a lot of work but the team are so welcoming and, whilst they push me just the right amount to make progress, the classes always have room for adaptations for those of us who struggle. My sister and I joined in January and The Bar and Kettle has undergone some changes to their class schedule in that time, but the atmosphere remains positive and supportive and I definitely feel stronger. I am growing in confidence in terms of work with weights etc. I would absolutely recommend to others. Thanks to all the team for all their hard work!

Fantastic experience: The B&K team have created a truly non judgmental & welcoming community gym. The coaches take into consideration everybody’s individual level of fitness and create classes and bespoke plans that open the door for everyone to get involved. More than ever I feel challenged, motivated and supported in achieving my goals, and that’s down to the team at the B&K!

Fantastic experience: Wonderful gym, I have progressed so much with the team here. Really welcoming and they helped me achieve more than I thought I ever could.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic venue! Sorted my shoulder problem out in no time at all.

Fantastic experience: Amazing little gym shame it closes after 12pm.

Fantastic experience: Brilliant gym, small and very friendly.
