Sheffield Hallam Active

Negative experience: Terrible quality machines, dumbells from 1980. No free bars for muscleups. 1 bench press constantly in use. Unprofessional staff all students who dont really care about the job. U get what u pay for i guess

Positive experience: We hire these facilities as part of the Sheffield rowing club. Each week we hire out a sports hall and use the rowing machines, of which there are about 15. In previous years we’ve used the halls for running circuit sessions. There are yoga mats, free weights, table tennis tables, cones, and more. The changing rooms are usually clean and the showers are great. Very warm, lots of water. The lockers require pound coins to lock. Bathrooms could be cleaner. Hand gel dispensers are common in hallways and have always had gel when I’ve used them (even in 2024.) We’ve been using these facilities for at least the last 12 years and I’d expect we will continue to for many more.

Fantastic experience: good equipment, very friendly staff

Positive experience: Good gym. The concept 2 rowers are out of date and need maintenance. There are 2 rowers with pm3 monitors. Pm 5 monitors are necessary for personal tracking. Cost is minimal 110£ and would increase the longevity of this equipment. The air cage cleaning and band tightness would also help to make this machine like new!

Negative experience: I called in to cancel my membership and was told it had been cancelled a couple months later I was charged then tried to cancel and refund this and wasn’t given a refund. I wouldn’t bother with this gym the equipment isn’t even that good anyway plenty of better options like the university gym up the road.

Negative experience: Been a member here for about 3 months now, and I’m starting to get frustrated about how busy it is considering how small the gym is and how little equipment there is. If you come here at any reasonable time it will be absolutely packed and you will spend half the time you are in here waiting for machines. The Machines are nothing special at all, and when it’s busy (which it is 90% of the time) it’s often ridiculously warm to the point I’m dripping in sweat after doing nothing but waiting for a machine to finish being used. Honestly, the gym is ok but it is absolutely how ridiculous it is for such a tiny gym with limited equipment, and the majority of gym users here use all the same weight machines and the cardio equipment is usually empty. I suppose there isn’t much the gym can do about it, but it is definitely a problem for a lot of people. Also recently the pad for the squat bars has gone missing and they’ve failed to replace it for weeks, I asked a receptionist he basically just said he doesn’t know which is so helpful because I need it to do squats because of my shoulders

Fantastic experience: Good gym with plenty of equipment

Fantastic experience: Staff are really helpful

Negative experience: Definitely not worth 4.6 Rating... Gym is really small and most equipment are not maintained. Lot of friction between movements.

Fantastic experience: Went to this gym for 1.5 years until very recently due to a move. For the price I paid (£13.99 for a bit then £14.99 per month after a price raise in 2022), I thought it was an excellent gym with all the basics you want for simple weightlifting and cardio. Didn't interact with staff much but they seemed friendly and yhe place was always clean. No complaints.

Fantastic experience: Quiet cold room for a gym. But the gym is quiet complete and it has classes as well. Just

Negative experience: Receptionist is very rude and aggressive.

Fantastic experience: Good venue, good value, comprehensive facilities, personal instructors, and helpful staff generally.

Fantastic experience: Great trading facilities and great staff.

Fantastic experience: Great gym for the price. For the size of the gym I highly recommend choosing the time you go; expect to have to cycle in on equipment during peak hours. Friendly and helpful staff that have a great length of knowledge, especially the personal trainers and physios. If you are a regular gym goer, get the annual pass to get better access to more opportunities.

Positive experience: Standard university campus. The gym could do with making bigger and a few more machines but other than that no issues.

Fantastic experience: Lovely, friendly staff to greet you on arrival. Two large gym areas at both Sheffield Hallam Campuses, no extra charge to use both. There's loads more on offer too with Social Sport sessions and Fitness Classes, with the people leading these sessions being really helpful and motivational. The price is pretty great too with different options to cater for your needs.

Fantastic experience: Great venue. Helpful staff. Reasonably priced.

Fantastic experience: My regular haunt

Positive experience: Well-equipped gym for fair price. Could stay open longer on the weekends

Fantastic experience: Best gym for students in Sheffield

Positive experience: Good gym, but it's a shame the weekend opening times are so narrow.
