Graft Häus: Opinions
Fantastic experience: Best gym in Leeds. Calibrated plates for powerlifting, and five racks with plenty of space for weightlifting. Staff are fantastic and super friendly. Highly recommend
Fantastic experience: I went to this gym when I visited Leeds for a couple of days and I have to say that I loved it! Utterly loved it! Machines are great, the gym is spacious and super bright. The changing room and showers were clean and modern looking. I fell in love with that gym. 100% recommended!
Ah thanks for the kind words Gloria!
Fantastic experience: Best gym in North Leeds. Quality equipment. Never gets so busy you're waiting for equipment, staff are friendly but not in your face and they're very understanding of neurodivergency. Had to ask for the music to be turned down one day because it was on louder than usual. Explaining I'm autistic so struggle with the music too loud they turned it down no questions asked and no making me feel weird about it! Really happy with the gym so far Only thing I would say is the pec deck machine needs repairing, one pin missing for the top to move the position and the seat doesn't lock in on the higher levels. Still works great if you're 6ft or more but can't get the right form where the seat falls if shorter. But there's enough equipment I've just swapped out anything pec deck for another exercise
Fantastic experience: Went today in a day pass as I was in the area. Definitely a great gym with everything you need. Never got too busy and the staff were very friendly. More importantly the place was clean including the shower and changing rooms. Seeing the staff doing interim cleans of all the equipment was great. Highly recommended! - UPDATE - Still go every time I'm in Leeds and I have time to kill and still recommend the place for a quick pump!
Thanks for the kind words Alex!
Fantastic experience: Went to use the sauna. As a hijabi i thought id get weird stares but everyone was friendly.
Fantastic experience: Great local, no-nonsense gym with top quality equipment. Regulars are friendly and inclusive. I've started a 30 day trial membership and loving it so far, looking forwards to hitting the downstairs weights!
Ah thanks for the kind words Edd!! Enjoy
Fantastic experience: Great staff, good equipment, and overall a great gym.
Thanks for the kind words!
Fantastic experience: Great gym! Great facilities and friendly staff. The sauna was a great bonus as well.
Thanks for the kind words!
Fantastic experience: Not a member at Graft Haus, but they have one of the best bits of biometrics technology available in Leeds. They have a 3D body scanner that scans your body, creating a 3d model and derives your body fat %, fat mass, lean mass, etc. £35 for a test, highly recommend to athletes or anyone else who needs specific biometrics.
Thanks for the feedback! I've just emailed you as non-member price for the scans has been dropped to £20 late on today - you'll have only just missed this, so next scan is on us!
Fantastic experience: Best gym I've been to in Leeds. Fab staff, great equipment
Thanks for the kind words Jennifer!
Fantastic experience: Amazing gym loads of equipment all really well maintained. Staff are helpful and friendly and the facilities showers sauna etc are super clean. A really great place to train.
Thanks for the kind words!!
Positive experience: Good equipment and very friendly staff. However the changing room and toilets area smells really bad it is unbearable, especially the sauna I could not even get in it from sweat smell. I hope owners do something about it.
Hi Hamza - thanks for your comment and glad you liked the gym! The gents changing rooms are in the middle of being torn out and replaced following a leak, so not in their desired state. Did you report the sauna smell as nothing was fed back to me?
Fantastic experience: Great gym with a wide range of kit. Very friendly front of house staff. Good atmosphere for training.
Thanks for the kind words Katrina!
Fantastic experience: Absolutely in love with this gym. The atmosphere is great, the community that the owners Charlene and Tony managed to build is really inspiring. I truly believe that Graft Haus is “one of a kind” gym that is definitely worth checking out for anyone who is serious about lifting. I am really sad that I had to move to a different city as Graft Haus was #1 highlight from my years in Leeds. Wish I could get some gym merch before I went I they were out of stock :(
Positive experience: I'm not a member of Graft Haüs Gym, but I was able to try its facilities sometime last month using the £10 trial pass. As a student, its membership pricing looks to be quite affordable so it'll remain as an option when I'm less busy and able to commit to a gym membership. Overall, I really enjoyed my experience. The gym itself is clean and quiet - the latter which I really appreciated. I enjoyed my workouts here with the abundance of facilities; especially using the infrared sauna at the end. As I'd researched into it prior, I also liked the added 3D body scanner amenity, though I haven't used this. The one thing that made me a little uncomfortable at this gym was feeling a little insecure when looking at everybody else. It looks to be quite a 'serious' gym which might sound a little silly! I guess if you're looking for an atmosphere to better accomodate for those new into their fitness journey, somewhere like The Edge (University of Leeds) has a better 'feel'. However, it's important to try different gyms beforehand before finding the one that's the best fit for you. I highly recommend trying Graft Haüs with a trial pass at the very least.
Hi Aiysha - thanks for the kind words!Yes our members are all pretty focussed - we tend to find when people who are fresher to training join, it quickly turns from "OMG people here are serious", to "OMG people here are inspiring". Everyone gets on with their thing, and we've seen some amazing progress in "fresh" lifters because of it!
Fantastic experience: It is a great independent gym
Ah thanks Vasily!!
Fantastic experience: Marvellous gym - especially Mr Kershaw
Thanks Richard! Agree, Chris is a fab PT

Fantastic experience: Best gym ever! Best staff and owners! Have been a member for a while, long overdue review.
'Long overdue' Always great to have you around Mergen, thanks for the kind words
Positive experience: Really nice environment to train and always clean. Only reason it’s not 5* is the trap bar is awful (and not in a good way) there’s a reason why everyone uses it upside down.
Thanks for the kind words! Sorry trap bar not to your liking, the multi grips and ability to load without tipping over are big plus points for us!
Fantastic experience: One of the best gyms I've visited. The equipment is high quality and the staff are knowledgeable and friendly. Can't recommend Graft Haus enough!
Always lovely to hear this kind of feedback, thanks!!
Fantastic experience: Amazing staff, always friendly and full of advice and greet you with a smile. Equipment is fantastic and it's never overly busy but it's got a great atmosphere. Highly recommend this gym and I've trained in many over the years.
Fantastic experience: The only gym in years where the members and staff feel like a family. A real community spirit. No egos here, only genuine passion In supporting health and fitness including mental health too. Primal strength equipment to really help you on your journey regardless of your experience, fitness level or confidence. Industry leading masseuse to help you unwind if you've had a stressful week training or at work or even if you have an event coming up. I've had the pleasure of being both a member and a freelance personal trainer here (before I retired from PT) and I'd never use another gym again. Tony, Charlene, Mikey and the team doing an amazing job.
Ah thanks for the kinds words bud!! Means the world we've made somewhere people love this much
Positive experience: Good gym with good kit...

Fantastic experience: Hands down the best gym I’ve ever trained at. Great vibe, equipment and the staff are super down to earth and helpful.
Thanks so much for the kind words!! Always amazing to hear we've managed to make something people love :D
Fantastic experience: Easily the best gym in Leeds. Extremely helpful and friendly staff and the owners & staff are very approachable and know you by name. They are always improving the gym and continue to drive for your progress through competitions, giveaways and more, sad to be leaving this gym later this year when I leave Leeds.
Thanks for the kind words Will!!
Fantastic experience: Been training for 15 years. Fairly confident it's the best gym I've ever trained in - the equipment is high quality, the space is cool, the people (clients and staff) are all friendly, highly competent, and supportive. Makes for a great community feel too. Numbers are intentionally kept low so that it's never too crowded either. All that and membership is affordable to boot!
Thanks Michael - exactly the reason we're here. Love seeing people progress!
Fantastic experience: Certainly the best gym I've attended in Leeds. Extremely helpful and friendly staff and the owners are very approachable and know you by name. They are always improving the gym and keep us all updated regarding progress. If you're looking for a new gym, make it this one!
Thanks for the kind words Josh - means the world to us that we get to provide what you guys are after!!
Fantastic experience: Brilliant people, brilliant gym... Need I say more
Fantastic experience: Quality gym, great owners and a lot of fun. Recommend anyone to train there!!
Fantastic experience: Best gym I've ever been too hands down!
Yes Dwaine! Good to see you getting in more often ;)
Fantastic experience: Amazing gym, really well equipped. Everyone is very friendly and helpful too!
Thanks Ffion!!
Fantastic experience: Great open-spaced gym with top equipment, one of the best in Leeds!
Fantastic experience: My partner and I joined after we couldn't hack the state of a giant commercial gym, Xercise4Less, which is literally just down the road from Graft Haus; we were tired of broken equipment and a lack of knowledgeable staff members. Once we got wind of Graft Haus' existence, we headed over for a trial pass and within about 5 minutes we were completely sold on the place. The equipment is always clean, other members are considerate and the staff are great people who are always willing to offer up advice and tips; you just feel welcome whenever you walk through the front door! Graft Haus isn't just a gym, it's a welcoming community with a positive environment.
Aw thanks for the kind words Aaron!! You and Chelsea are an absolute joy to have as members, so happy we can provide what you need!
Fantastic experience: Excellent gym. Good variety of equipment. Very friendly staff and there are many personal trainers to choose from. Chris from CSS fitness is my personal choice.
Fantastic experience: Best gym in Leeds!! Amazing staff and facilities, all the new kit is amazing. In a post lockdown world these guys are killing it.
Thanks so much Olivia!!
Fantastic experience: Best gym I've ever been (incl Germany, USA and UK). Staff is really nice and friendly. You feel welcomed from the very first second. The equipment is incredibly multifaceted. And from Primal Strength, which is the best equipment I've ever used.
Global leaders - we'll take that!!! Will catch you around the Häus :D
Fantastic experience: Probably the best gym overall I have ever seen. You could do anything here from simply getting into better shape, to elite competition training. Truly everything you could want in terms of equipment, plus some very nice amenities. As a bonus, has an attractive modern design and a great layout. I'm so glad that Leeds has this.
Fantastic experience: I really do like this gym. Staff and other instructors are super nice and really into what they do. Really friendly atmosphere and clean facilities (the showers are amazing!) and with the option of the infra red sauna! It's picture friendly for those who are all about social media, and Graft Haus always have something going on like events which keeps it interesting. I've been going to this gym for just under a year with absolutely no intentions of leaving. If you want to start at a gym, I highly recommend Graft Haus.
Thanks so much for kind words Lara! ♥
Fantastic experience: Amazing gym really nice people great equipment
Thanks for the kind words Homer!
Fantastic experience: Really nice gym, friendly staff, great variety of equipment

Thanks for the kind words John!!
Fantastic experience: I visited here with my wife for a session with Josh Greenfield not only was the session awesome but the gym had a great vibe to it with a vast selection of equipment to suit all ages and training styles.All the staff were extremely friendly we will definitely be back soon
Thanks for the kind words Anthony - delighted you both enjoyed!
Fantastic experience: An excellent gym. Very friendly and approachable staff. The gym its self has top of the range equipment and the vibe in there is great, it really makes me feel motivated. The location is perfect with good parking. This gym offers more than enough for the price and it easily accommodate for casual gym users to the seriouse gym users
Fantastic experience: My 1st gym session in 20+ years and Tony (owner) made me feel at ease, taking me through a series of exercises and showing me what I should be doing. Great equipment and staff, very personal - Tony knew the names of all the clients - so a lovely, friendly, atmosphere even for a gymophobe like me! 10/10
Fantastic experience: Firstly, I don't usually take the time to write reviews but in this case I had to make an exception. My husband and I have been members of many gyms (large and small) over the years and I can hands down say this is the best gym. Great equipment, staff and little extras like nitro coffee, GHD straighteners in the changing rooms, a sauna and sunbed! We only wish that you sold Graft Häus merchandise. Overall it's a great place to work-out and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a new gym in Leeds - they don't lie when they say it’s Leeds BEST gym! From myself & Carl, keep up the good work guys!
Hey Naomi - thanks for such a lovely review!!! Fab to have you both here.... and merch is on the way ;) !
Fantastic experience: Went to Graft Häus today after hearing about it online. I would say the gym has maybe less machines than your commercial type of gyms but what it lacks in numbers, it makes up for in actual usefulness. I trained legs and there wasn't a machine or piece of kit which was a waste of time, I'd probably say it was the best leg session I'd had. I'd highly recommend and, if I lived in the Leeds area, would join - no questions asked.
Hi Lloyd - sorry, we've only just seen this review! Thanks so much for the kind words, glad we stand out from the commercial offerings. Hopefully see you again
Fantastic experience: By far the best gym in Leeds. When first starting my training I was filled with a lot of nerves, being an independent gym I assumed that it would be an overwhelmingly intense atmosphere. However, that couldn't be further from the truth, Graft Haus is an amazing place to train, with amazing equipment, outstanding customer service, expert level personal trainers, brand new facilities and a truly welcoming atmosphere. I'm always looking forward to my next session here. The gym welcomes people of all skill levels and experience.
Thanks for such kind words Connor - we're beyond delighted to hear feedback like this, exactly why we decided to open! Keep pushing, you're already on track!
Fantastic experience: Just join recently, yes best gym in Leeds indeed!!! Very friendly & helpful staff, the equipment is I always look forward to my next training session, actually Ive set new goals and push myself even more since Ive joined. Such great atmosphere, so clean, gym members are friendly too. This is home for me now, making them new gainzz
Thanks for the kind words - lovely having you aboard as a fellow Grafter!!! Keep those goals coming ;)
Fantastic experience: Fantastic equipment, with very helpful and knowledgeable staff! 100% recommend!

Thanks for the kinds words David!!
Fantastic experience: Excellent gym, especially for resistance and functional strength training! Showers are also excellent!
Thanks for the kind words Fran - and you're right, we LOVE our showers...!
Fantastic experience: This is a great facility with all the equipment you need in what feels like an exclusive environment. Well worth the membership as you have access to not only the gym and equipment but also some brilliant PTs and Therapists.
Thanks for the kind words Lucy - hope to see you again in the future!
Fantastic experience: Amazing gym! Loads of space and it has the best high quality equipment I've ever used, nothing compares to this place!
Thanks Kelly! We wanted to create something special so happy that's how it is coming across :)
Fantastic experience: Great gym and equipment. A lot of free weights . Clean and tidy. Different machines and a lot of spaces. Defo enjoy my time there
Fantastic experience: Some of the best equipment I’ve seen around and the staff are very friendly and knowledgable. Good honest gym! 5/5
Thanks for the kind words!!
Fantastic experience: WOW! You will be hard pressed to find a gym in Leeds with better equipment. I've worked and trained in various gyms across Leeds and this for me is top notch. Graft Haus offers a friendly atmosphere where members and staff work hard to support each other in their fitness journeys. A MUST SEE GYM.....MISS OUT, LOSE OUT!!!
Glad you approve Chris! Thanks for the kinds words :)
Fantastic experience: Been a member at this gym for a few months now.. great team who work here all staff are sound and friendly. equipment is all banging, probably the best I have worked on! lifting platforms are class and plenty of weights and bars to use. I train powerlifting with Sam watt as my coach which is a blessing, but to also have elite level athletes on here on a daily basis training says what level of gym it is, Great Britain powerlifters and olympians train here, plenty of motivation and everyone literally is Grafting, with out all the ego of other gyms I have been to. it has all I need to improve my training and love the environment. Thanks To the team and keep it up :) Joel Cooke - Plaster - Render - Develop
Thanks for the kind words bud!! Always great to see you shifting new numbers!
Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym! Brilliant equipment, brilliant atmosphere and Brilliant, friendly, staff dedicated to clients achieving their goals and enjoying their work outs! Would recommend to any one!!
Fantastic experience: I know from personal experience how much hard work and determination went into create this gym. From the quality of the equipment to the little personal touches makes this gym first class. It has a great atmosphere and very friendly and helpful owners and staff. If your looking for somewhere new to train come and check it out you won’t be disappointed
Fantastic experience: Superb setup, unlike any gym I've been to in terms of the standard of equipment. Primal gear is up there with the best and this place is decked out in it. Superb staff, very knowledgeable and promoting of an inclusive culture. This would be a great gym for newbies looking to get started as well as seasoned trainers.
Thanks Ben - we're over the moon with the kit, glad members are loving it too!
Fantastic experience: Really well equiped gym with Primal Equipment. Great atmosphere, warm welcome from the owners Tony and Charlene.
Fantastic experience: Graft Häus is a well-designed, functional and stylish facility that's independently owned and bedecked with brand new equipment. This makes it a much needed alternative to the corporate mass/'budget' gyms in Leeds! Charlene and Tony have used their passion to craft a multi-use facility that is truly modern, inviting and filled with natural light. Tucked away in the Cardigan Fields industrial estate, Graft Häus has good customer parking and space to secure bikes. The gym itself features a lovely chill-out zone (complete with coffee machine), a well-lit studio and mezzanine floor, perfect for HIIT workouts on the elliptical. Everything you need for strength training is here and more besides. I'm sure that the opening of the infrared sauna will be a wonderful addition. There are lots of special touches that make this site a pleasure to visit and work out in. I particularly like the attention to detail in the layout, the free availability of lockers and extra finishes in the women's changing room which include luxury rainfall showers and hairdryer. Most importantly, the atmosphere is safe, welcoming and respectful. A brilliant space that will grow with the members in it for years to come.
So happy you love the gym as much as you do - you always bring such an amazing attitude to your workout!!
Fantastic experience: I visit Leeds quite regularly and Graft Häus will definitely be my new regular gym when I come up. Incredible equipment (some of which I've never used) and a friendly and positive gym environment. I love the extras of the infra red sauna and the chance to buy products like shakes, healthy meals and bars post work out. Can't wait to next come up!
Thanks Claudia!! Very kind of you - look forward to your next visit :)
Fantastic experience: Current favourite gym in Leeds. Amazing kit, good vibe.. and great coffee on top of that. I just wish it was a little closer to home or work for us so we could train their more often. The infrared sauna didn’t blow me away but that’s just personal preference. Staff are welcoming, they’ll chat or give you advice if you need it, but leave you alone if you just want to crack on!
Thanks for the kinds words!Yes the sauna runs a lot cooler than a traditional one, but gives better results for muscular recovery which is why we went that route. Plus point is you can have a nice long nap in there!!!Hopefully see you again soon :)
Fantastic experience: Wish there was a gym like this near me! Clean with a good vibe! Nitro coffee was excellent and the GHDs in the changing rooms were a nice touch!
Thanks for the kind words!! Hopefully see you again :)
