Fantastic experience: Great gym, Paul and Paddy are so helpful and friendly. Perfect gym as a woman as it isn't posey but also isn’t intimidating at all, everyone is so friendly and isn’t just full of massive blokes

Fantastic experience: I have been going to this gym for a year now and highly recommend it. It has a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, the staff are very welcoming and always there for advice if required. It has all the equipment you need including a lot of squat racks which means even at the busiest of times you are not having to wait. They also offer PT session whether that be a one off or a regular slot with no pressure. As a complete beginner to weight training I have found my PT sessions with Paddy invaluable and I am so happy with the progress I have made.

Nadia Bounhar 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: The Crunch Gym is a treasure of a local gym! I had a session with Paddy who really knew his stuff and was an excellent trainer. The staff are really friendly and helpful and there are plenty of platforms, racks, dumbbells and machines split between 3 spacious rooms, so I think you'd always manage to get on some great kit - unlike other gyms I have been to!

Fantastic experience: I have been training at this gym for about 5 years, great atmosphere, great range of equipment for serious training. Owners are knowledgeable and friendly.

Allison Munro 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Before I came here I’d never lifted weights, but much to my surprise I love it. I’m a total convert, and I think that’s all down to being at the right place (low key, lots of equipment, friendly and positive culture) and lots of expert training and encouragement from Paddy.

Nicholas Blakey 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I been coming to crunch since lockdown happened wish I had found it years ago . Paddy’s given me so much knowledge and help and also gives me plans to keep me motivated throughout the week . Crunch has everything you would need in a gym .

Simon Warner 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Really like crunch gym been going for a couple of years now . Great personal trainer with lots of knowledge. Great price Good equipment lots of squatting racks and free weight . I’ve moved away now but still go back for pts .

Hayley Mason 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: This is the best gym in Leeds. I started weight training just over 2 years ago with little to no knowledge about it ... now I can't imagine going anywhere else. It's a friendly atmosphere, the team are knowledgeable and supportive and you're always able to get on a squat rack without any wait - virtually impossible in other gyms. It's independently run and that care really shines through.

Sophie Bland 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I like a visit to Crunch whenever I'm up north! It has a really welcoming feel and is surprisingly big considering it's tucked away location. The coaches are very knowledgeable and helpful. and it's got a great array of kit! 100% would recommend!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely the best gym in Leeds. Great powerlifting equipment, very professional and prepared PTs, and also very friendly environment – it's not very common to feel so comfortable in a gym being a girl, to be honest. Super recommended to everyone who loves strength training!

J F88 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Extremely welcoming and knowledgeable owners with a steady mix of friendly members. You won't struggle to find a rack in this place!

mandy panesar 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I hadn't picked up a barbell since my 20s when I was a lot fitter and quite happy to enter into what was then 'the bloke's bit of the gym'. Roll forward 2 decades and I am a lot less confident but desperate to regain some of my long gone muscle tone! The Crunch Gym has made me feel welcome, supported and really enjoy my time at the gym. The owners are super friendly and knowledgeable and anyone wanting to start/continue their lifting journey should do it here. Brilliant pricing plan to make it accessible to all with a drop in option or membership with no contract or joining/cancellation fee.

Allan Dodds 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Did you get your tickets to the gun show? Huge premises, wide range of equipment. Really good gym etiquette, much better than most places where people just leave stuff at their rear end

Dmitri M 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: A classic meathead gym. Lots of weightlifting equipment, some machines, all designed for you to squat, bench and deadlift. Old and robust equipment. Just mere being here gives you +10 to bench, +20 squat and boosts testosterone. Avoid if you are faint hearted (pure gym nearby is just for you, don't overcrowd this gym).

Peter R 7 years ago

Positive experience: It's ok. They have better opening hours over holiday periods compared to other gyms. A lack of student discount is disappointing though.

Zoltan Hesley 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great great gym. Awesome for strength training and powerlifting. Lots and lots of squat racks.

Thomas Adams 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: Well priced, no membership tie-in, no nonsense gym

Dan Conroy 8 years ago

Positive experience: Very basic decor, no cardio or "commercial" equipment but a decent range of weight equipment and a helpful relaxed staff with flexible ways to pay

Nataniel Reguła 8 years ago

Positive experience: Good gym ;)

Ryan Neely 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: Best no non-sense gym in Leeds

Chris Russell 8 years ago

Positive experience: Great down to earth gym for strength training, pay as you go (or join for as long as you want) and amazing value.

Dan ONeill 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: 3.50 a day, 9 for 7 and 25 for the month. No joining fees, super friendly staff and a good mix of folk using the gym. Would recommend.

Martin Dempster 9 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great gym for weight training. Good prices, can pay by the day and super friendly. Lots of kit and never a problem getting a squat rack!!

Kayleigh Clark 9 years ago

Fantastic experience: A 'spit and sawdust' kind of gym, very raw and old school which I love. Not Huge on cardio equipment but run regular circuits classes which really kick your ass! Very friendly and helpful couple that run it and all the powerlifting equipment you could hope for. You can pay as you go which is a great option and for those in for the long run, signing up for months at a time also works out very reasonable, recommended : )
