We thank you for the time you have taken in reviewing us, and value your feedback. We'll ensure that the team at The Gym Group York Foss Island is made aware of your thoughts.
Negative experience: Good gym what you paying for, although I'm shocked how helpful the assistant manager is by refusing to help me with a parking charge when I went to the gym, saying that he can't do anything because is too late, it's a private company hired by them and he is saying he can't do anything and won't be going back there
We are sorry to hear that you have been issued a fine but I'm afraid there is nothing we can do in retracting this as we do not manage the parking at any of our gyms and therefore have no jurisdiction over the decision. The car parking company typically manages it either on their own behalf or on behalf of the leaseholder of the premises/land. The parking regulations would be highlighted on your member's area, such as the maximum time and in the branch if they require you to input your car registration on each visit. If you have been issued a parking fine and are not in breach of the parking regulations, you will need to contact the parking company directly to appeal this fine. The parking instructions for your branch are highlighted on the branch page, and also located in the manage parking section of the member's area when you log in. You will be able to access your gym usage information via the member's area to supply evidence for the appeal. Simply head to the My Gym tab and select My Gym usage. There you will see a graph for the current month which you can change, and at the bottom of the page, you will find a table with a complete view of the specific date and times of your visits.
Fantastic experience: One of the better The Gyms I've been to - Has lots of equipment and lots of Squat racks
Fantastic experience: Great gym. Great equipment. I use both the Bury St. Edmunds one and the York one, both lovely, clean and new equipment. The only thing I'll say is they should tell you need to put your car reg into a machine everytime you go.
Fantastic experience: Great gym , clean, well equipped and plenty of floor room . Good classes and really friendly. Fantastic value for money and has parking . What’s not to like !
Fantastic experience: I have been going to the gym group and training with Sarah Constable-Smith as my PT since October 2023 and she has changed my life ! She customises workouts to my ability and goals, but still pushes me do more and lift heavier with every session. She is so supportive and always encourages me if i feel stuck with my progress. She creates new workouts and 12 weeks plans often so nothing feels repetitive and keeps the gym fun. Since October I have gained so much knowledge of gym equipment, which as a beginner was very intimidating. As well as muscle and a better relationship with food and my self image despite having body dysmorphia and past experience with eating disorders. I would highly highly recommend Sarah if anyone (male/female) is looking for a PT at the gym group. You won’t regret it!

Fantastic experience: Really good gym and friendly staff! As I work until pretty late, being open 24h is very convenient. After a PT taster session (which they offer through the app), I started working out with Sarah. I have never been more motivated, and I saw more results in two months than in a year working out by myself! I strongly recommend her!
