Barbelle (Scarborough)

Fantastic experience: I will start by saying that by joining the Barbelle team, I started to be more confident, ambitious, and willing to try new things. I have proven to myself so far that I am much stronger than I thought. I have been a member for almost two months and I have noticed wonderful results just with the help and involvement of the coaches. All the staff are very friendly, kind and supportive. Even the atmosphere keeps me motivated. I can say that Barbelle is a united community, full of opportunities for all those who want to join. I simply love this gym! I recommend it to all people who want to become more confident and achieve the perfect body.

Fantastic experience: Barbelle is a great gym experience. It had been a long time since I’d been near weights but I’ve been guided through every set of lifts in the sessions & after 2&1/2 weeks have grown in confidence & felt my fitness levels improve massively. Every staff member is supportive & challenges me to push myself. It’s a great atmosphere & I’m finding it surprisingly good fun! Thanks guys xx

Fantastic experience: Joining Barbelle almost two years ago has completely changed my life. Five years ago, I couldn’t even walk. A nasty hip injury caused by being overweight and inactive meant I had to learn to walk again...at just 31 years old! I was ashamed of my body, filled with self-doubt, and had lost all confidence in myself. I never imagined I’d reach a point where I’d feel strong, capable, and proud of who I am but Barbelle made that possible. This place has done more for me than I can ever put into words. It’s transformed my mind, my confidence, and my self-belief. The coaches believed in me when I couldn’t believe in myself, pushed me when I wanted to give up, and celebrated every small win along the way. Because of them, I’ve learned to love my body for what it can do, not how it looks. I used to hate having my photo or video taken while working out. “Oh no, everyone’s going to see my rolls of fat.” “Look how much I’m sweating.” “Why are they filming me when i look like this?” How awful it was of me to think of myself that way! What I realise now is- no one cares how i look whilst making myself a better version of me! And I don’t care how i look when trying to get that PB or how much im sweating during the finisher secretly trying to beat the team next to me I am strong, resilient, and proud of how far I’ve come. As a busy mum and shift worker, Barbelle has given me the strength and energy to keep up with my kids and be the role model I’ve always wanted to be. It’s helped me find balance, resilience, and joy both in my fitness and my everyday life. Now, I run, take part in competitions, and wake up every day feeling grateful for the life the gym has helped me rebuild. From the bottom of my heart, thank you to all the coaches and everyone at Barbelle. You’ve truly changed my life

Fantastic experience: Joining Barbelle has been the best investment I’ve made in myself for sometime. From day one, I’ve been blown away by the genuine care and attention the coaches give to every member. They strike the perfect balance of encouragement without being overbearing—their confidence in you makes you believe in yourself. They check in on injuries, adapt movements, and explain cues to help you move at your best. They remember past conversations and really take the time to get to know you as a person, not just a gym member. The energy on the gym floor from all the coaches – even at 6 am – is incredible and instantly lifts my mood. The programming is varied, structured, and always explained so you understand the “why” behind it. Classes run throughout the day and evening, so there’s something for everyone. The facilities are spotless and welcoming, and there’s fantastic support around nutrition, goal setting, and even social events. You have an assigned coach after your trial sessions which is a lovely feature of membership. Investing in your health is a big decision, but for me, this is absolutely the right time and the right place. I feel cared for, supported, motivated, and excited for the journey ahead.

Fantastic experience: Joined 2 weeks ago and I couldn’t be happier with the training at Barbells. Instructors are amazing, attentive and keep you safe ensuring the correct use of all the equipment. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for an exercise community because it’s more than a gym. Joy

Fantastic experience: I have now been coming to barbelle for 3 plus years and can honestly say it’s not just a gym, it’s a home. No matter what life is throwing your way you can rock up, have amazing banter with the coaches and leave feeling like a new person. Having a back injury last year has left me needing a tailored program, not an issue for these coaches! Also having a coach who checks in, not only to see if your needing any support in the gym but also checking in on you personally… you wouldn’t get that kind of care anywhere else. The coaches make such an effort to get to know your strengths and how they can push you to get the best. Absolutely worth getting up at 5.30am for! ♥️

Fantastic experience: Barbelle has transformed my relationship with exercise. I have never been to a gym where I enjoy the workouts and feel like I belong until now. No matter your skill level or abilities, the coaches can tailor anything to you and encourage you to be the best version of yourself. Having a coach assigned to you is a game changer for me. Being held accountable for my consistency has really helped me to develop good habits. It seems a bit pricey at first to someone considering joining, but once you join it is so clear to see it’s worth it. The coaches care about what’s important to you on your own journey. 100% recommend!

Fantastic experience: This place literally gets me through life! The coaches are knowledgeable, supportive, fun & friendly. We are one big Family ! If you are thinking of joining a gym then I 100% recommend Barbelle, you'll not regret it!

Fantastic experience: Beautiful cozy gym with such a warm and welcoming feel I was greeted with smiles and felt instantly at home. The coaches (Abi, Jess, Andy, Jas and Meg) are brilliant, knowledgeable and always ready to give you that extra push when you need it. There is a great mix of energy and friendliness here. The workouts are well-planned, varied, and leave you walking out feeling stronger and more motivated If you are in Scarborough and want a place to train that’s full of good vibes and genuine people, Barbelle is a real gem Thank you to everyone at Barbelle! I will be back one day, so don’t get too used to the peace and quiet without me! haha

Fantastic experience: Super

Fantastic experience: What an amazing gym! The PT led sessions are a great way to keep me motivated and to get the support that I need for my workouts. When I’ve been to gyms before I’ve spent hours not really knowing what to do and unsure if I’m making progress. At Barbelle the coaches meticulously plan all the workouts and are on hand to guide me through each set. It’s also a really friendly and welcoming place with extracurricular events planned. I LOVE it and would give it 10 stars if I could

Fantastic experience: Last year I purposely ordered my wedding dress two sizes to small. In January this year I began my journey with Barbelle with an end goal of fitting into my dress. Today was that day! Having joined Barbelle on what I believed to be a temporary measure has since become a way of life.The staff and members are a community full of support, encouragement, and fun. Having tried various gyms and personal trainers Barbelle has by far gone over and above expectations. Thankyou to each of you at Barbelle!

Fantastic experience: This is by far the best place I have joined to improve my health, fitness and get to a healthy BMI. I actually enjoy it, great Community, coaches are brilliant and I'm seeing the results already. Try the trial, I'm so glad I did!

Fantastic experience: I am just coming to the end of my 30 day trial and I will definitely be joining as a member! Initially, before starting I was unsure if it would be for me , however, I quickly realised it is exactly what I was looking for! The Barbelle team is great , so supportive, always on hand to give education, everything is adapted to suit the persons needs, very friendly , with small classes . I would recommend

Fantastic experience: Do you walk into a gym and wonder what do I do? Or what machine to use? Or if you can be bothered to workout today? I promise you will never feel like this at Barbelle. I have been coming for nearly 4 & a half years now religiously and have not looked back since my first day! What you get with Barbelle: workouts already planned (you just have to show up), guidance at every session, a part of a fantastic community, supportive like-minded members (who quickly become amazing friends), coaches who get to know your strengths and push you when you need it most. Your age, what stage in life you are, your level of strength - none of this matters on the gym floor, workouts can be tailored to your goals and/or how you're feeling on the day. If you're on the fence about joining, sign up to the trial and just give it a go! You can't put a price on good health.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym! I have been a member for 6 years now and this is the only gym that I have stuck with. I and saw huge changes in my fitness levels after multiple injuries, the coaching team always provide with me support or other exercises to still be part of the sessions. Great community and I always enjoy coming back week after week.

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love Barbelle. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed by the friendly team and motivating atmosphere. The equipment is very well maintained and caters for the huge variety of training they offer! The coaches are incredibly knowledgeable and always go the extra mile to help me reach my health & fitness goals. Whether you’re a beginner or experienced, Barbelle offers a fantastic environment for everyone. It’s an amazing place to train with a very supportive community vibe. I’ve definitely found my love for fitness again here Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: I joined Barbelle and 16 months ago and started by having a 6 week trial. I had previously thought about joining but the price put me off a bit so I jumped at the opportunity to test it out before committing to a membership. I quickly understood why Barbelle is so popular, and also why it is priced as it is. It really is such an amazing space and community and I can honestly say it is worth every single penny. It’s so much more than just a space to come to work out - you are assigned your own coach who checks in with you, keeps you accountable and pushes you to ensure you get the very best out of every session. They cater to everyone of every ability. I recently suffered with sciatica and every session was adapted to my ability until my condition was better. Barbelle hold social events across the year which have been brilliant - they have a spring and winter games team competition too which is so much fun! I have 4 small children, I work full time and we have a very hectic home life - Barbelle is my little bit of ‘me time’ too, and I always look forward to every single session - even at 6am! It has never felt like a chore to come to this gym and I am stronger and fitter than I ever have been.

Fantastic experience: Barbelle Men’s night, Great evening. Well organised as always. Good Craic with the lads. Then a pint afterwards ️

Fantastic experience: Having attempted working out and getting fit on my own, I was persuaded by a friend to look at something more that would fit in with what I was looking for. Along came Barbelle!! Not only are the PTs more than proficient in their roles, they’re genuinely some of the nicest people! Always with a smile they greet you each session, checking in with you on how you’re feeling (and actually listen to you!!) asking questions on any aches or soreness, giving advice, tips and handy hints if anything arises. The members and fellow work-out buddies that you get to meet are second to none! It’s not just a “gym”; it’s a community!! The support and encouragement that both the PTs and the others give you is like a mini dose of dopamine; especially handy when you’re trying to find that last little push. While some will bring up the price factor, I truly believe that it is more than worth it. In the few weeks that I’ve been going, it’s more than made up for in my mental health, my physical well being, and my general outlook on what’s yet to come!! Couldn’t recommend Barbelle any more than that!! Get yourself booked in - you won’t regret it!!

Fantastic experience: From being told time and time again to sign up to Barbelle, I kept putting it off, eventually I took the jump and signed up for a trial month. I've never looked back since! An absolutely amazing experience to be a part of, from detailed scheduled workouts to nothing but a great atmosphere! Not only is it a gym, the coaches regularly organise socials events to relax a lot more and get to know every member. This plays a huge role in growth and motivation. The coaches offer so much, complete professionalism on the floor, always organised and very punctual! You definitely know you've completed a workout! Everyone in there drives each other to be the best version possible. I would happily recommend anyone to sign up or at least give it a try! It is worth every penny, do NOT be put off by any prices, you get exactly what you pay for!

Fantastic experience: Just completed the 28 day trial at Barbelle. It’s been a fabulous experience from start to finish. I can see and feel the progress I have made, not just at the gym but with my running too. The coaches are super positive and professional and encourage you to your full potential. They explain how to use the equipment and are on hand if you need them. They also help you perfect your technique. Their support has also changed the way I approach exercise from a psychological point of view too. I would recommend the trial to anyone no matter what level you are at. I always came away buzzing. Thank you Barbelle. Xx

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Barbelle highly enough. All the coaches, without exception, are committed, kind, caring and so knowledgeable. I have truly never come across such an exceptional place. Abi, Jess, Andy, Emma, Jas and Megan - I love you all! And thank you for everything you do ❤️❤️❤️

Fantastic experience: What can I say… here I am still after my 30 days trial, looking forward to continuing my journey at Barbelle. My motivation has been always low as time wise I never managed to look after myself, however since I started the trial I have change my mindset and my motivation is higher than I expected to be. Everybody is so welcoming, really nice community . The coaches are all patient and supportive, they know exactly when and how to push you to achieve your best. Never believed that you can have it all in one package, motivation, flexibility, support ,results in only 30 days -Barbelle is worth everything. Thank you

Fantastic experience: The hardest part of barbelle is walking through the door for the first time !! I love it here coaches are always on hand to help,friendly and so supportive and the positive vibes you get every session keep me hungry for more 11months in and two and a half stone lighter life is good THANKYOU TEAM !!!

Fantastic experience: Highly recommende it... Supportive lovely team...

Fantastic experience: Amazing team! Meg, Andy, Jaz, Abi and Jess are absolutely amazing. Such a positive and motivated team. Make you feel so welcome and at home. I’ve been at barbelle over 2 years and love it. They make fitness more fun and enjoyable.

Fantastic experience: Barbelle is a standout gym that excels in delivering a personalised and empowering fitness experience. From the moment you walk through the door, the welcoming atmosphere is evident, making it an excellent place for both beginners and seasoned fitness enthusiasts. The facility itself is well-maintained, clean, and equipped with a broad range of high-quality equipment. Barbelle has everything you need to hit your fitness goals. One of the biggest highlights of Barbelle is the staff. The trainers are not only knowledgeable and certified but also genuinely invested in your progress. They take the time to understand your fitness level, goals, and any limitations you might have. This individualised approach is what sets Barbelle apart from many other gyms in the area. They offer tailored support and are always available to offer guidance, correct your form, or push you when you need that extra motivation. In addition to the excellent training, Barbelle fosters a strong sense of community. The members are friendly, supportive, and inclusive, which makes working out here an enjoyable experience. Overall, Barbelle is more than just a gym; it’s a community-driven fitness hub where you can achieve your goals in a supportive and motivating environment. If you're looking for a place to train that offers both expertise and a welcoming vibe, Barbelle should be at the top of your list.

Fantastic experience: FINALLY tried the 6 week trial after a friend recommended Barbelle and all I can say is I wish I joined sooner. I used to think I hated the gym, but Barbelle have just got it so right. Never before have I felt so supported... And this isn't just from the coaches. The community spirit is phenomenal and I now look forward to every session!

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym with really friendly and motivational trainers-I completely recommend . Even when you are as old as me !!

Fantastic experience: Really enjoyable and inclusive environment. Coaches are all mint definitely recommend

Fantastic experience: Literally THE best gym.. I’ve been to a few locally and nothing compares! The whole team are so knowledgeable, supportive and adaptive in their approach. Honestly-it’s money well spent!

Fantastic experience: There is so much I can say and I really don't know where to start but I'll try.... I have seen Abi grow Barbelle from a small acorn to a mighty oak and she has done this through consistency in all areas. From the cleanliness of the gym (always spotless) quality of equipment, considered and thorough training plans and most importantly -quality of the coaching team. All coaches are warm and friendly and boy do they know their stuff! Injured? Not a problem, they'll adapt the training plan. Fed up and cba- they'll have you laughing and lifting before you even know it! And that is Barbelle in a nutshell- community. We have gone from seeing each other only in sessions, to days and nights out, weekends away (arranged by Barbelle coaches) and so many other activities outside of the gym. I feel myself very fortunate to be part of such a welcoming group. I remember my first day, I was soooo nervous because I'd never been a fan of the gym- but over seven years later I am still here! And many of those original members are too. Not many gyms can say that I can't ever see myself leaving (sorry- you're stuck with me I'm afraid!)

Fantastic experience: It’s hard to decide where to start on reviewing Barbelle- I can’t speak highly enough about the business on a whole. From your trial period to five months in, the support, direction and encouragement you receive from the Coaches is spot on. They know their industry super well- and their CPD is impressive, and is very obvious that it pays off in the everyday running of Barbelle. You will find high standards throughout from gym equipment to the thought out training programmes. Ultimately though, what makes Barbelle the best personal investment you will make, are the Coaches and the Barbelle community on a whole. Your life and lifestyle will change, and for the better.

Fantastic experience: Barbelle is a really fun way to exercise. All of the instructors are brilliant, funny and very helpful. They want you to be better each time and push you to improve without shouting at you. If I went to a normal gym I would never go but Barbelle makes you want to go because it’s enjoyable.

Fantastic experience: joined the 6 week trial after a recommendation as my gym journey had fallen flat, i'd lost my gym mojo! I was warmly welcomed by Jess, she took me under her wing and gave me the motivation back. After the six week trial, my muscle mass had increased, weight down which gave me such a boost. Everyone from the coaches to the members have really made me feel welcome, I have never felt uncomfortable to join any class on my own, I'm nudged when needed, when i think i can't do something. Its been the change I needed, gym mojo has returned. What I feel makes the gym special is how well all the coaches know you so well, they make a point to check in with you, push when you need it, Andy has advised me on my nutrition, gave me fab advice whilst training, alongside all the coaches. I really look forward to each class now i'm a member.

Fantastic experience: I recently took part in a 6 week trial as I was keen to restart my fitness journey, gain a little confidence in the gym and also to help me maintain some consistency. I felt that Barbelles flexible, personalised group training approach worked really well for me from a motivational perspective. You get to train for a set period of time of your choice with a small group of like minded people while at the same time have a team of trainers working with each of you to ensure you get the most out of the training session and the great range of strength and cardio equipment they have on site. The entire team at Barbelles were fantastic welcoming me from the start and ensuring that I engaged in the right routine to suit my fitness level and goals. At the end of the 6 weeks I could see a noticeable difference physically and my energy levels dramatically improved. What more could you ask for! My time at Barbelles has given me the kick start I desperately needed for the new healthy me and to continue with my fitness journey. Thank you Barbelles and wishing you continued success. Sarah

Fantastic experience: Where do I start…. The staff at Barbelle are what make this place the best. The support is second to none and the encouragement when needed is superb. I’ve moved around gyms often over the years but not anymore! The classes are always a challenge (In a good way) and I’m always trying to find time to squeeze in an extra class. The members are lovely too. I cannot thank you enough for helping me learn to enjoy exercise again.

Fantastic experience: Just finished my six week trial, I've never been in such a friendly and positive gym environment. Jess and all the coaches have been so helpful and encouraging. I'm now in a great routine and looking forward to continuing my Barbelle journey.

Fantastic experience: After just a few short weeks, Barbelle has completely changed my opinion on gyms. As a person who has previously struggled with gyms and exercise environments, often feeling out of my depth and self-conscious, Barbelle has completely changed the mould. Abi and her team have developed the most welcoming, encouraging and motivational environment. It is the best of both worlds - the benefit of multiple(!!) personal trainers who tailor training to your needs and goals, alongside a friendly community. The classes available are convenient, the equipment is first class and the gym is very obviously loved and looked after by all. The sign up and trial processes were seamless - clearly very well organised. Abi, Jess, Jas and Andy all have a genuine interest in their members, taking time to speak with everyone to gauge how to pitch their advice and instruction at every single session. The sessions are super well organised and the bonus is I just turn up with nothing to think about, confident that a fun, challenging but effective session has been planned by an extremely knowledgeable team. Bring on the next few months! Thank you Team Barbelle!

Fantastic experience: Such a great atmosphere. Feeling good about myself / making new friends! Couldn’t recommend it enough

Fantastic experience: Life changing decision to join this gym. Absolutely tailored to each individual's needs and goals. Support like nowhere else, measured and encouraged progression. Constantly being pushed to achieve full potential. Never joined a gym like it and never stayed as consistent. Coaches are all amazing.

Fantastic experience: I’d been thinking about joining Barbelle for a while and had put if off for over a year however now I’ve joined I wish I’d done it sooner. Having previously worked in the fitness industry I 100% recommend Barbelle. You’ll get all the attention and support you need!. One of the things that sets Barbelle apart from traditional gyms is their instructor-led group sessions. These sessions provide a high level of interaction between the instructors and the members, creating a motivating and supportive environment. The instructors are knowledgeable, passionate, and dedicated to helping you reach your goals faster. Barbelle may not be the cheapest gym in the area however I firmly believe that you get what you pay for. The value for money at Barbelle is exceptional and you’ll be grateful you made the decision to join. The results I've achieved since joining have been fantastic. If you're serious about achieving your fitness goals and want a gym that will provide the guidance, support, and results you deserve, look no further than Barbelle. #Barbelle #PersonalizedTraining #ResultsDriven #FitnessJourney

Fantastic experience: Been going there just under 2 months. Great coaches and great atmosphere. Lost almost 4% body fat already with the training plan and nutritional advice. Exercises are always adjusted to people's ability and the coaches are great at pushing you to get the most out of the sessions.

Fantastic experience: Thinking and procrastinating about joining Barbelle? Well don't, just do it!! Two years ago I was in that place, feeling very unhealthy, with lack of energy and oomph, and the heaviest I'd ever been. I felt very negative about find something that would work for me after so many failed attempts. I kept looking at the Barbelle trial advert on Facebook and kept looking away again thinking it was probably an expensive way to achieve yet another failed attempt, but something kept drawing me to them and in May 2022 I finally took the plunge and signed up. Not gonna lie, the first month or so was tough for me but they were so supportive and patient, and I gradually started to feel like I'd found my groove, my place, my tribe, and what a tribe it is!! Results began to show and I learnt consistent and achievable healthy habits that I still have to this day. I've never looked back!! Nearly two years on and I'm happier, healthier, lighter, and feel so so much stronger than I ever have. The blend of strength training and cardio, and the group PT approach just works and I truly do love going to the gym now. Not only has my body changed for the better but my mind has too, and coupled with the great people, great coaches, great music and great surroundings, I just can't live without it now. Top notch training, 100% recommend!!!

Fantastic experience: Such a lovely group of people who have given me confidence in my abilities and really pushed the limits of what I thought I could do. If you’re nervous about the gym in any way they will make you feel at ease from the minute you walk in. Special shout out to coaches Jess and Jas who are both absolutely amazing women and such great cheerleaders xx

Fantastic experience: Super friendly environment with unique approach to personal training but in smaller groups allowing you to have the benefit of coaches' guidance for best performance while also giving you freedom to workout at your own pace. A well-structured programme of exercises for strength development and some cardio sessions if you want! All done with fun and focus. An additional bonus, owned and mainly run by great female PTs! Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Barbelle! Such a warm and welcoming environment. Barbelle changed my relationship to food, fitness and myself! The coaches go above and beyond to ensure you feel safe and comfortable in your sessions. Always relaxed and fun, and I always leave feeling happy. The perfect place if you’re wanting to commit to your fitness & health journey.

Fantastic experience: Just completed a trial with Barbelle's after a delayed start due to injury. Wanted to say a massive thank you for helping me to restart believing in myself again and get importantly help get some mojo back. The buzz of the classes, supportive and encouraging coaches has helped me to start enjoying the gym again and allow me the time to put myself first for a little time a week. The flexible timing of sessions has enabled me to work around my work commitments so no excuses as struggled at times before to fit everything into my day off. Thank you

Fantastic experience: I’m not someone that usually leaves reviews, but I can’t not for this fabulous place. Barbelle has such a friendly, welcoming & encouraging community. I alway look forward to each session. I know I will leave with high energy levels and overall feeling so much better then when I walked through the door. All of the coaches are so dedicated, always support you 100% and give you that extra push that you maybe wouldn’t be confident enough to do alone. I have been to a few gyms in the past and there just isn’t anything like Barbelle! You guys have really made a special place

Fantastic experience: I’m so happy to have found this gym !! Barbelle is such a friendly atmosphere to work out in , not intimidating at all like other gyms . The coaches are fab , very friendly, supportive and knowledgeable, they have really helped me a lot with adapting exercises to help me with my back problems. If you are thinking about joining a gym , I would highly recommend barbelle.

Fantastic experience: I love being a member of Barbelle Scarborough. Even when the rain pours and the snow falls I still want to come because I know that I will feel 100% better for going! I joined approximately 2 years ago starting with the 6 week trial. I joined wanting to see what the difference was between the many gyms I have been to previously as I wanted more of a challenge physically and mentally to be able to push myself in fitness to the best of my ability. Barbelle ticks all of the boxes! Since joining, I have not looked elsewhere because I simply haven't needed or wanted to. All of the 5 coaches are fabulous at what they do! They are your biggest cheerleaders when it comes to achieving results, whether it be hitting your biggest PB (Personal Best) sticking to good habits or identifying areas in which you want to improve. Even the members cheer you on and encourage you. I feel as if I'm part of a large family! As well as cheering you on, the coaches are always there willing to give to advice regarding nutrition and how to keep a positive mindset outside of the gym, for example: step targets and food ideas. If you have an injury, all of the coaches are more than happy and willing to adapt exercises so that you can still take part, whilst still ensuring that you benefit from each session in a safe way whilst not needing to cancel as you may need to with any another gym. All in all Barbelle has been a very positive influence in my life physically and mentally. I 100% recommend to anybody that is wanting a bespoke 1-1 small group training gym membership.

Fantastic experience: I joined Barbelle over 3 years ago for a 6 week trial and I have never looked back. The coaches are super supportive and are always there to help and support and tweak any movements or cardio to suit your needs. As well as having amazing coaches the community is amazing too and I have made friends inside the gym who cheer me on outside too. Everybody is warm and welcoming. After 3 years I still enjoy my sessions as much now as I did when I started.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been at Barbelle for over 18 months now and absolutely love it. This is like no other gym, which is probably why I never stuck at any others for this long. The coaches are fantastic, are always on hand with great advice and the atmosphere is so friendly. Each session is planned by the coaches in advance but if there are exercises you are struggling with due to injury etc, they are really understanding and will work with you individually to make sure you still feel like you’re benefiting from the class. Regular check-ins with your allocated coach also helps if you want to set individual targets, you need to ask anything or just need a chat as they are always there to listen when needed. I love the set up of classes as they are small enough to ensure there’s enough equipment for everyone, enough time for coaches to make sure you are doing things right but also because you can get to know the other members and can catch up when in class. I’ve made some great friends by meeting other members and there’s often social events to join outside of classes which I’ve never had with other places. Overall, the coaches are fantastic, the members are friendly and welcoming and you’ll love the classes, so if you’re nervous about joining (everyone was once) don’t be as after being in class for 5 minutes that feeling soon goes and you’ll be looking forward to more! Sue Rowson

Fantastic experience: After 6 years with Barbelle I still look forward to every session. This is due to Abi and her team's fantastic support, professional guidance and their ability to tailor every workout to a member’s personal ability which, in turn, supports individual goals being achieved on a regular basis. The workouts are varied and designed to give a full body workout over the week, with no two sessions in any given week repeated. In addition to the workouts, the team provide nutritional support and regular check-ins for every member, which all goes towards providing a truly effective all round health and wellbeing package.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, and super coaches who treat you like an individual Fab team spirit without being intimidating

Fantastic experience: Friendly & professional. I hated the gym before joining Barbelle - now I’m there 4 times a week!

Fantastic experience: Brilliant gym, brilliant atmosphere, amazing supportive coaches and amazing value for money!!! I look forward to every session, even cardio!

Fantastic experience: I never thought I would ever enjoy something as much as im enjoying barbelles. I'm achieving things that I never thought possible. I feel stronger, fitter and healthier. All the trainers are super supportive, as are other members of the gym. Everyone is so encouraging, it makes you want to try harder. I feel more confident and im noticing the difference in myself. Thank you all for all your support.

Fantastic experience: Barbelle is more than a gym, it is the best place for supporting and improving both physical and mental health – I’d be lost without the amazing team, facilities and membership benefits at Barbelle.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member for nearly 2 years and the training is second to none! Absolutely fantastic and all sessions are tailored to the individual. If that wasn't enough the atmosphere is warm, welcoming and friendly. Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: Super fun and has completely changed how I feel about going to the gym. The ladies are really supportive and lovely! Really recommend!

Fantastic experience: The best gym you'll ever go to.. not just for your physical health but mentally also! The coaches are just amazing, I can't thank them enough for everything they've helped me achieve so far. They've always pushed me in the best possible way to do better and to believe in myself. They've been so patient and helpful when I've struggled to come, they always check in on me whether it's a quick email or message to ask how things are going and they always ask if there's anything they can do to help. The kindest most caring coaches and gym members, I just love barbelle xxx

Fantastic experience: I've been a member at Barbelle for almost a year now and I can honestly say that it's the only gym that I have actually stuck with and really enjoyed. The coaches are fantastic and really push you when needed but are also incredibly supportive too. Best gym in Scarborough!

Fantastic experience: Barbelle isn’t just a gym, it’s a place to create and hit your goals, with a full community of coaches and other gym users that push you to reach those targets and applaud you when you do. I can definitely recommend Barbelle whether you’re new to a gym or have been to other previously, the cater for anyone and everyone!

Fantastic experience: I thought hell would freeze over before I joined a gym and yet here I am writing a 5 star review. I've nothing to compare Barbelle to (obviously) but it is not the hellscape I imagined a gym to be. It is black (which seems to be some sort of gym rule) but it is also airy and welcoming with what I assume is 'all the kit'. They certainly have no trouble providing a full body workout, I know this for a fact because EVERYTHING hurts afterwards. The staff are all clearly absolutely excellent at what they do and if you are looking to stave off the inevitable slide towards decrepitude (like I am) you could do a lot worse than try a months trial and see if it might work for you too. If you are looking to make friends there are opportunities to join run-groups and walk-groups, you can get nutrition advice if that is your thing, but if you are just trying to keep a commitment to yourself to drag yourself for a workout a couple of times a week (hello!) then that seems to be fine too. It is not easy to cater for all ends of the fitness spectrum but Barbelle pulls it off.

Fantastic experience: I joined Barbelle on a trial and was super impressed by the personalised, tailored service they offer. I've been to plenty of gyms around the area and this is the first place that has seemed genuinely interested in each individual and their progress. The group sizes are small and you never feel like you're being rushed out the door after your session. All the coaches are super friendly and very professional. Would recommend to anyone

Fantastic experience: I joined Barbelle over 2 years ago. The only regret is that I haven't start sooner. Professional coaches who can tweak your technique to master your lifts. Nutritional advise if you need. Would give them 10000 stars if I could. Don't hesitate, the sooner you start the better for you

Fantastic experience: I've been at Barbelle almost 2 years, my fitness is up and down due to a health condition. My coach at Barbelle is consistently supportive, adapts training and nutrition and even life advice to suit me, never makes me feel like I'm too much work and I can honestly say I've not felt this good about myself for years and that's not because of how I look, it's because of how I feel about myself. Wouldn't be where i am mentally or physically without Barbelle.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love Barbelle, I have noticed my strength has massively improved and I am enjoying seeing the changes in my body! I can actually say I now love coming to the gym and the coaches are all so lovely! Thanks Team Barbelle

Fantastic experience: Joining Barbelle Scarborough has been a life changing experience! I've been a member for almost 3 years now and I could not imagine life without it. I'm stronger, fitter and healthier than I have ever been! Abi and her team of coaches do an incredible job and are really supportive in helping you to achieve your goals! The group PT sessions are varied, which always keeps things interesting, and although everyone follows the same programme, individual exercises can be adjusted to your own fitness level or needs. Barbelle is not just a gym, but a friendly and welcoming community, where members support and encourage each other to be the best that they can be. Beyond the gym, members also meet to go running, walking or simply to socialise. I've met some of the best people through Barbelle! I definitely recommend Barbelle to anyone who wants to make a positive change towards their health and fitness!

Fantastic experience: Love this gym! I've never joined a gym before, and never thought I would. Plucked up the courage to join wanting to join somewhere and being recommended by a friend. I've never looked back. I love it ! I feel a million times better than I did a year ago including mentally and physically. A friendly , fun and welcoming environment. Lots of support and encouragement, absolutely recommend. xxx ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Fantastic experience: I started at Barbelle last Summer on the trial and loved it from the beginning. The sense of community makes for a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Everybody is friendly and the coaches are fab, supportive, know when to push you and celebrate your wins, however small. Going to Barbelle, definitely helped me during a difficult time at the beginning of this year and I feel fitter and stronger now, than I have done for years. I can't stop banging on about it to anyone who'll listen!! Update, I'm still loving Barbelle after 2 years, the longest I've ever stuck at a gym!! 2 stone lighter than when I started and fitter and stronger. I have lots of new friends to socialise with, and coaches and members are more like family. Love it, love it, love it. Do yourself a favour and give it a try!

Fantastic experience: My second home and my second favourite place (first being my bed or a holiday obvs) The coaches at Barbelle really are the best. They put up with my sass, my awful jokes & my meltdowns all at the same time ❤️ For the past two years they’ve kept me right in every possible way, whether it’s my positioning when doing cleans or telling me to go for a walk. Joining Barbelle has been the best decision ever and as my mother says “your a nicer person when you’ve been to the gym”! So why would I ever take that out of my lifestyle… they’ve got me for lyf

Fantastic experience: What started as a 4 week trial is aug 2020 has now turned into 3 years! I initially joined barbelle to lose weight for my upcoming wedding - I had used gyms before but not small group training. I lost a total of 10kg in 9 months as well as achieving other goals I didn’t think would be possible due a pre-existing back injury. Fast forward 3 years and I have hit PB after PB with the help from the coaches. The coaches are outstanding and nothing is too much, no question is too small, they are such an amazing group of coaches who take pride in their members. No matter what type of day you’ve had you’ll always walk out with a smile on your face. They always want the best out of you and push you to achieve your maximum without being too forceful. Fellow gym goers turn into friends and cheerleaders, who are always there to support you, cheer you on and be a laugh. Sorry barbelle you’ve got me for life now My point is - barbelle = #1 gym in Scarborough

Fantastic experience: If I could give Barbelle more than 5 stars I would! Everything about it is first class, the coaches, the training & the people. I have never felt so fit in my life! Thank you to Abi & the team for all your help & advice and helping me achieve my goals. Best gym in town!!

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of Barbelle for around 18 months now and I can honestly say, joining was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I instantly felt welcomed as soon as I walked through the door which took away any worries I had. The coaches are really knowledgeable and are on hand to offer advice and support and always seem to know your capabilities more than you do! I absolutely love coming to sessions and always look forward to them. Barbelle has just become part of my life now and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Fantastic experience: I've been at Barbelle for 4 months now after completing a 30 day trial. I can honestly say it's been the best lifestyle change I've made, it's made such a positive difference to my mental health and overall fitness and well-being. The coaches are all brilliant, they're so supportive and know exactly when to give you a push so you get the best out of every session. I've been to sessions not feeling great, but the coaches have adapted the exercises to suit what I've needed and I've always left feeling so much better. Then during sessions where I've felt really good, they've pushed me to work to the best of my ability. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: I have lost track of how long I have been at Barbelle now (many years) and I’ve never once got bored or felt like I’ve got ‘stuck’. The coaches are fantastic and will give 110% to make sure the sessions work for YOU and your needs. It’s like they have a sixth sense and know the exact moments you need a firm push but also the times you need some gentle reassurance. It’s such a great supportive community and I will forever be amazed at what my body is capable of doing. Yes, it is more money than a generic membership but it is SO MUCH MORE than a generic gym membership and there is no way I’d have seen the same progress on my own and being accountable to just myself. Abi, Emma, Meg & Jess (and all past coaches) thank you so much!

Fantastic experience: Not really one for reviews, but this place deserves one! I am so so happy I finally decided to join Barbelle, I haven’t been going long but already know it’s going to become part of my lifestyle. The coaches are all fab, so helpful and make you feel so welcome along with the community, everyone just supports and pushes eachother, really look forward to the sessions. My mental health and energy levels have never been better and I’m only just getting started. Was originally worried about the price and keeping it up after the trial but a friend said to me, you can’t put a price on your mental health and well she wasn’t wrong! Thanks team Barbelle

Fantastic experience: I have been back at Barbelle just over a year, and I can't recommend it enough. After having a baby, my fitness turned into my last priority, so it has definitely been a struggle, but with the support and guidance from all the coaches, I managed to reach all old and new goals. The coaches check in regularly to keep you accountable and offer any extra support if needed. I can't thank Abi and the team enough for giving me the best environment to train in. Barbelle isn't just a gym it's a community of people just doing their thing and supporting each other.

Fantastic experience: I feel so lucky that I have found Barbelle. Not only is it a gorgeous, well kitted out gym with top tier coaches who are really knowledgeable in their roles but the best thing is the community feel. The coaches are so lovely and approachable and the other members really look out for and encourage each other. The small group sessions mean you get personalised coaching and support from coaches whilst also training alongside others, it’s the best training approach I’ve found. I am so proud to be a member of Barbelle, I genuinely love the sessions and look forward to going! I never thought I’d say that about exercise. As I approach 40 I feel healthier and stronger than ever but most importantly, it’s done wonders for my mental health!!

Fantastic experience: I came to Barbelle because I wanted to get fit, what I found was a really enjoyable experience with people who are very friendly and coaches who are fab at what they do. I love the flexibility of classes and the support I receive, I am losing weight and getting fitter so it's a win win. My only regret is that I didn't start sooner.

Fantastic experience: The most effective training I’ve ever done . Look forward to the sessions instead of being something to endure ! The all round approach to focusing on not only exercise, but as importantly diet and nutrition is helping me reach my goals quicker than I thought was possible and in a way that is sustainable

Fantastic experience: Barbelle is the best experience I've ever had with any gym or PT. The strength sessions are varied and fun. My mindset and strength has been so much better since I joined in September. The coaches are all amazing and supportive. One thing that stands out for me is that everyone is at different stages but this doesn't matter, no-one is better/worse ... we're all in it together. I absolutely love my mornings, sets me up for the day. When I can I cram a Cardio session in on a Saturday ... long may it continue!

Fantastic experience: Barbelle is a fantastic place. I had never been to a gym before so unsure what to expect but everyone is fab, the coaches are amazing and really make you feel like you are the only one they're training. They give loads of really good advice regarding nutrition and the best way to get the most out of each session. They're always on hand to answer any questions you have. Brilliant sense of community, nobody is in competition with anyone else. Best decision I made joining Barbelle, would definitely recommend anyone to give them a try.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to barbelle for around a year and a half now, before starting barbelle I had tried a few different places to get fit and healthy that hadnt really worked for me, I can certainly say barbelle has changed the way I look at fitness I highly recommend Abi and her team at barbelle they are amazing. You will never look back!!

Fantastic experience: If I could give Barbelle more than 5 stars I would! Everything about it is first class, the coaches, the training & the people. I have never felt so fit in my life! Thank you to Abi & the team for all your help & advice and helping me achieve my goals!

Fantastic experience: Joining Barbelle is one of the best things I've done. Each workout is tailored to each individual based on their ability and goals meaning the BEST results are achieved. I've never met such a friendly bunch of people. Barbelle is SO much more than a gym and I love it. Abi, James and Emma are exceptional coaches and I couldn't recommend them more.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member at Barbelle now for 17 months. I was advised after undergoing back surgery to go and lift weights to strengthen my core and back to prevent reoccurrence. It was the absolute best decision I have ever made. Not only have I never suffered with my back since, I am fitter, stronger and much more confident. The coaches are so knowledgeable and each workout is tailored to the Individual, not just one size fits all! The groups are small and everyone is listened too. I cannot recommend enough.

Fantastic experience: I started Barbelle in Nov 2017 after needing some extreme motivation to get back fit and healthy. Initially, I was a little nervous about joining as it had been a long time since id done any kind of fitness. However, from the first time I met Abi, to all of her sessions, you can see how lovely she is and the passion she has to help you reach your goal. She has given me my confidence back to push myself everyweek and I can see such a difference in myself. I have so much more energy, my body shape is changing and most importantly I feel great. I had a back injury 4 years ago resulting in me struggling with exercise but Abi has really supported me with this throughout my sessions, adjusting exercises and giving me advice on how we can strengthen it and already i can see a huge difference. I look forward to every session each week as its always totally different from the previous one. I can honestly say Barbelle has now become a part of my life, iv never felt so good and It will be something I am going to continue for the future. So if you want one of the most unique and best personal training experiences come and join the Barbelle family you wont regret it, you will LOVE it.
