Astar Muscle & Fitness is an award winning, HYROX affiliated gym in the heart of Wakefield.

We’re an award winning, privately owned gym that has high quality equipment, excellent facilities, weekly classes and a professional team of fitness experts.

Here at Astar muscle and fitness we have an atmosphere like no other, something which is essential when training and pushing towards your goals. We encourage a healthy mindset through training and this is apparent throughout the gym and is a reflection of everyone who trains with us. We don’t just class our members as numbers, every single member that comes through our doors is welcomed into our Astar family.

One of the many changes we have made off the back of our members suggestions is to have a weekly DJ playing house music in the main gym area. If you think this sounds like somewhere you’d enjoy training please come down and have a chat to see what’s sets us aside from other gyms.

Fantastic experience: 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.

Ria Brooks 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: 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

Roland Sun 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: 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!

Sophie Jones 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: 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.

Fantastic experience: 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.

Jaserb1 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: 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.
