Our comment from FitFit UK about Kents Gym:
Kents Gym, located in Bradford, United Kingdom, is a well-regarded fitness center known for its friendly atmosphere and helpful staff. The gym boasts a good range of equipment suitable for fitness enthusiasts looking to get fitter and stay in shape. It features ample lockers and a spacious private car park, a significant advantage over many other gyms in the area.
Members appreciate the availability of classes, from energetic dance sessions to strength training; however, some users have noted that the class offerings could benefit from more variety and regular updates. Despite some concerns about the condition of certain machines, many patrons praise the instructors for their expertise and supportive attitude.
While the gym has various positive attributes, there are some areas where improvements could be made:
- Operating Hours: Many members wish for longer opening hours, especially on weekends, and a move towards a 24-hour model.
- Facility Maintenance: The steam room and sauna have been closed for an extended period, leading to disappointment among users who enjoyed these amenities.
- Equipment Upgrades: A call for updated and maintained equipment is echoed throughout several reviews, particularly regarding the cardio machines.
- Member Etiquette: Concerns have been raised about locker usage and the management of gym space, particularly in the ladies' section.
Overall, Kents Gym is seen as a solid choice for local residents, offering a welcoming environment for those beginning their fitness journey or looking to maintain their workout routine. With an engaged community and the potential for enhancements, it could further solidify its reputation as one of the best gyms in the area.
Kents Gym: Opinions
Positive experience: Really do wish they were a 24hr gym as i prefer coming to this one than any other gym or had longer hours on the weekends as they close early
Positive experience: Great gym of a decent size. Need to update some machinery and fix those broken. Make it obvious that the Ladies gym is not for men to work out upstairs or walk through. Steam room and sauna could do with fixing but told they won’t. Never had time to use them in the past but would do now. The classes used to be great and varied but now just the same old classes. I attend quite a few of them and the teachers need to mix them up every few weeks like they used to years ago but they don’t. Plus, if it’s an hour’s class, make it an hour and not 50-55 minutes. Gym members take the mickey by keeping permanent lockers and never clearing out every visit. I don’t think the staff care to check. Speaking of the staff, Julie is lovely and I hope she reads this and listens to the feedback. Over the years there’s been some stand out staff but they eventually leave, including the class instructors. Apart from Lucy and Michael, I don’t find the other staff friendly. They just stand and chat with the young lads all day! The car park needs sorting out, too many pot holes. Kents need to tell the local children to keep out for the safety of themselves and of the gym members. I know I’ve generally given negative feedback but the positives are what remained in the past. I do like this gym overall as I’m clinging onto what it used to be.
Positive experience: Good gym for getting fitter and staying in shape. Has plenty of lockers, good size and private car parking space (alot of gyms lack this and they tend to have shared parking spaces!) Staff are always helpful and available when you need them. However, at one point in time, they have both, steam room and sauna. During covid, these got shut down and never turned on ever since. This was one reason why I love coming to this gym. This is shut down for good and the staff have already said that it will not be opening up again. There could be a number of reason for this, such as members abusing the thermostat to get the place hotter, or simply because it's too costly to run but whatever it maybe, it's a shame it's no longer opening again. Another let down is the "ladies only" section. This used to be a thing a few years ago but due to the abnormality certain people have this day and age, they believe a man can transform into a woman and use the ladies only section absolutely is insane! The price is still decent and quote competitive with other local gyms, however, many other gyms are starting to open 24 hours. Would like to see some big improvement happen to this gym and I may concider coming back.
Negative experience: My wife had a look around and was told the ladies section was upstairs, she signed up specifically due to there being a separate area for ladies. This was a clear lie as the owner allows men to use the equipment on the ladies side! When questioning the staff about this they responded by saying their is no ladies section! Membership cancelled. Avoid.
Positive experience: Small and not many machines at all. Especially when one or two are out of use. Good for weight loss not for building muscle.
Positive experience: "Overall, I'm satisfied, although a little exchange or dumbbell upgrade would be nice, or at least sticking some weight stickers on them ."
Fantastic experience: Great gym easy going atmosphere, perfect place if your returning to fitness or to smash out ur sets
Positive experience: Half decent gym, machines are the same once the owner first put in all those years ago when she opened it, half the machines are either broken or on its last legs. The cable wire machines are the same in poor condition. Saunas haven’t been turned on for years now. Think personally the owner she is too tight to spend any money to upgrade or renovate the gym. Also the classes are on at stupid times (peak times) which makes even busier. And closing times sometimes are ridiculous, like the time they close on a Saturday and a Sunday are just stupid. Staff are nice tho will say that.
Fantastic experience: excellent
Fantastic experience: First class gym and staff.
Positive experience: Good staff Decent amount of equipment. Classes and exercise zones for everyone.
Fantastic experience: I'm a 15 yr old who goes to this gym and I must say everyone has been kind to me and helped me also everything u need is in the gym like no useless machines
Fantastic experience: Visited the gym for the first time for their Dancefit class. I liked the class: very energetic, but not too complicated. Very friendly class for newcomers.
Fantastic experience: Brilliant as usual.
Positive experience: Decent gym, good cardio machines and classes. Only downfall I feel is they need more back machines and update some of the equipment
Positive experience: the staff - pyper sam and jess to be specific, are absolute stars. amazing at their job and so comfortable asking them questions about training. Defo need some recognition
Fantastic experience: Friendly, classes to suite everyone with the best trainers to motivate and make your training enjoyable and encourage you to work at 'your' pace.
Fantastic experience:
Fantastic experience: Jess is really nice & helpful. Good old school gym, has everything you need and they do day passes.
Positive experience: Got everything you need apart from sauna or swimming pool and not 24hrs
Negative experience: Tried to rejoin after a little break but it happens they leave your account in arrears by a month if don’t give them a 30 day cancellation notice period. Tried to charge me a joining fee, monthly membership as well as the amount the account is in arrears. A real shame. Use to be a really good gym but saunas and steams closed and lots of weird rules came into place. Gone elsewhere and I’ve landed on my feet.
Fantastic experience: friendly hospitable place xxxxx
Fantastic experience: Recently, I received a very courteous, friendly, welcoming and professional service from front desk staff member (Sam). I returned to Kents after several years and I was worried about remembering my way around the gym, getting back into routine and times of classes. Sam was very patient and he went out of his way to explain everything to me in a non jargon and clear manner. As a working professional, I appreciate excellent customer service. If you are looking for value for money, brilliant customer service, great equipment and a friendly/supportive atmosphere then I highly recommend Kents Gym. Best Gym ever.
Fantastic experience: Joined just over 2 weeks ago. Good, spacious gym with everything you need.

Fantastic experience: Amazing place and that staff are so nice :)
Fantastic experience: Good gym would recommend to anyone
Fantastic experience: Well what can I say. I’ve been coming to this gym now for 20 years. Unfortunately the equipment is quite old, the showers are not the best around and the place is a little dated. Having said all the negatives I would like to say that I absolutely love this gym. It’s like a second home. The staff are friendly, courteous kind and caring. The instructors go out of their way to make the classes highly enjoyable and effective. They listen to feedback, they listen to requests and hell yes they even let you get in on the play list! I’ve been to the most raw gyms and to the poshest and believe me when I say that this place is the best. This isn’t a long term member whose been asked to leave feedback , this is a long term member who feels that this place and these people need a shout out. So here it is. A big shout out to the staff: Jake, Jay, Hayden and Alana who always greet me with a big smile. A big shout out to the instructors Sukhy, John Vare, Paul, and John the Hitman Lamont ☺️ who all can’t be complemented enough! Thank you guys. This is not a gymnasium it’s a gym at my second home!! 6 stars out of 5 for me
Negative experience: staff here are great, but unfortunately that's the best i can say about this gym,, most of the cardio equipment are dated, some of the treadmills are broken,, the weights section needs some new equipment and the men's shower rooms are horrendous, take a look at some of the pics i have uploaded,, The mould on the ceiling tiles,i have found leaches in the shower cubicles and fly's coming out of the drain... what a shame
Positive experience: Top gym,Top Staff
Fantastic experience: Nice place
Fantastic experience: Very welcoming and chilled out gym if like me you are new to the world of gyms then this is the best place to go every member of staff puts you at ease and you can join in any class with out any pressure to keep up up or stay for the whole class lots of equipment large changing and showering areas fantastic opening times too. But the very best bit is no contracts and it's gota be one of the cheapest around
Negative experience: I'd give it a zero if I could. Completed their online day pass, got to the gym and was told they don't offer it anymore, as it was offered by a manager that had left. Complete nonsense. There's another 3 gyms around me, rather go there.
Fantastic experience: It is good
Fantastic experience: Wonderful staff, friendly and helpful. Clean tidy and decent clientele.
Fantastic experience: Lovely gym, friendly staff, brilliant Zumba class (with Selina)
Fantastic experience: Every thing you need to get in great shape
Positive experience: Need to fix things that are broken and very poor customer service
Negative experience: This gym used to be absolutely incredible, by far best of its class. The equipment is great and ahead of most gyms around, however the relationship between customer and staff has deteriorated recently in my opinion.
Fantastic experience: Good
Positive experience: Out dated
Fantastic experience: Excellent range of classes available. Friendly staff too which is a huge plus!!
Fantastic experience: Great gym. Great staff.
Positive experience: Visited the gym for a taster session. Its was a Friday afternoon so was quiet. There was plenty of equipment, some in need of a refresh but a good variety. The gent on the desk was very helpful and honest about how busy peak times can be. This unfortunately put me off but I appreciated the transparency before paying for membership.
Positive experience: Nice gym.
Fantastic experience: Really good gym with friendly, helpful staff
Negative experience: Yer it's a good gym, has everything you really need, great classes and sauna to relax after the only problem I have is men coming upstairs and "working out" watching women... it's a women's only area!!!
Positive experience: Needs some work & investment but great staff
Negative experience: Been coming for 7 months, was great at first, now it's sometimes too busy to use the machines and the sauna is rammed full. The steam room has never worked and have been told it's too expensive to have fixed. The classes are great (and always very full) paid for a year upfront and don't think I will re-new my membership here sadly.
Fantastic experience: Great gym staff are wonderful
Fantastic experience: Very good
Positive experience: Love the gym, I go 7 days a week. But my only issue with the gym is the amount of rowing machines that aren't working. I hope staff can have them sorted soon.
Fantastic experience: Super friiendly gym, amazing classes and so cheap!
Negative experience: All this place is geared up for is helping you loose £s and not lbs
