Fantastic experience: I've been a member of Your Space Pontefract for over 10 years now and can't say enough good things about it. Such a friendly, welcoming place with fantastic, knowledgeable staff. There's a great range of equipment and classes to suit anyone, and the instructors always make sure you are working out safely and effectively. If you're new to using a gym, this is a great place to start: the instructors will show you around and introduce you to all the equipment, work with you to decide on your goals and, unlike some other gyms, give you regular reviews to check your progress and keep you motivated. I've been to quite a few gyms over the years and Your Space is the best experience I've had by far.

Thomas Clay 2 years ago

Positive experience: I was in the area for work and found this gym. A good free entrance for first time use. The gym itself was lacking slightly I felt. Dimly lit as well with a strange smell. It looked like there were separate studios for classes. There were some good techno gym spin bikes I found. But the overall gym looked like it could have a spruce up and some new equipment and plates added

Pedro Gaio 2 years ago

Positive experience: The staff are very lovely and friendly and the gym is decent, but its overcrowded. My main issue is that there's a million random machines no one ever uses, but only one bench and only two squat racks.

Liam Taylor 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Good place to train everything you need friendly staff if you don't like busy gyms avoid it at 5.30/7.30pm. Well worth the membership

Angelus666 2 years ago

Positive experience: Brilliant staff - very friendly and so helpful Lots of equipment which is ace and nice changin rooms. Friendly people that are coming here. Only downside are the air cons are never on / never on full blast which if you’re training it gets very frustrating especially nearer the treadmills etc. I get some may feel cold near reception Area/ seating areas but for people swearing their bits off it’s too much. It’s feels cool when you go in but when you are under the air cons you realise they are hardly on/ barley can feel them. This is a let down for the gym. This is even onthe changin rooms which gets very warm and humid when getting changed. Not keen on the new small Matts either - the older ones that were longer and wider were better and had better padding than the new ones.

Przemyslaw Rozanski 2 years ago

Positive experience: This was my first time in the gym, I usually train at home. My wife is gym vet so i based this review mainly on her opinion. + lots of different equipment + friendly atmosphere and nice changing rooms - a little bit too crowded

Jake Barnes 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great gym, I've visited most in the area and this hands down is the best. Has a relaxation area with sauna and steamroom for post-workout. I understand its a not for profit organisation, as a result all of the equipment is top-class. I even got a free PT session as part of my membership. I had the pleasure of being shown some circuit training at my request from Connor, a great bloke, extremely friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. All of the staff have been nothing but welcoming and polite since I signed up. Couldn't ask for more from a gym. Thanks guys for all of your hard work!!

Mercy K 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I tried a couple other gyms and this is by far the best one for the different types of machines and classes they offer. I'm not an avid gym goer and don't find it too intimidating doing things alone or in a class. The staff are also cheery and welcoming.

Joe Joe 5 years ago

Positive experience: Most of the staff are generally friendly and helpful and the place is usually very clean. I find that it gets busy on certain days and you have to plan around those. Forget Monday and probably Tuesday evenings and its not too bad. The atmosphere isn't great IMO and its hard to pinpoint why that is. Overall I would say its better than most with only more staff training required to bring it where it could be.

Peter vincent 6 years ago

Positive experience: Great place since the refurbishment (machines + free weights). Hopefully the refurbishment will now start on the changing rooms and the saunas. I realise saunas are expensive to run but you at least expect them to be hot. I would give 5* if they were.

Brian Waites 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Credit where it is due. I have mildly criticised this gym in the past. But the refurbishments and new equipment have turned 'Your Space' into a first class fitness location. Proud to be a member. Well done to all involved in the transformation

shredding shrapnel 7 years ago

Positive experience: Decent. Not very good for training legs, the leg curl and extension machines aren't good but the rest of the leg machines are the my have a squat rack. Wide range of dumbbells to choose from. 10kg - 50kg going up in 2kg each time. Then 2.5 5 and 7.5 kg dumbbells. There's only one bench and there's a place the stretch and do that sort of stuff. Lots of cardio machines including step machines

Positive experience: The actual new gym is looking great, all new equipment and much batter laid out. However why go through that and not refurb the changing facilities. They are still generally filthy and not a nice place to be in at all. So close but still not great!
