The Gym Group Sheffield Kelham Island

Fantastic experience: I recently had the pleasure of getting a back massage from Tahler, and I can confidently say it was an experience worth sharing. The massage itself was perfectly tailored to my needs. Tahler took the time to ask about any areas of tension and adjusted the pressure perfectly throughout the session. I really appreciated the way they focused on my specific discomforts without overlooking the overall relaxation experience. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about your comfort and wellbeing, I highly recommend booking a session with Tahler. I'll definitely be returning!

Fantastic experience: not bad, i'd leave 4 or 3 stars but i'm a nice person. machines are a bit busted and old and dont bother going when theres more than 50 people

Negative experience: On first arrival, I checked the parking signs, nothing was implied about entering my registration, I now have a large fine from a supposed free car park.

Fantastic experience: Very friendly people. Own car park just give reg details in. Can get quite busy.

Fantastic experience: I love this gym! All the staff make it such a friendly and welcoming place. If you’ve not done so already I can highly recommend getting a sports massage from Tahler. Not only is he a top bloke, he knows his stuff too. The way he explains what he is doing during the massage, the thoughtful prep and after care he puts in by checking in with you before and after appointments helps to make the process professional and highly effective. He sorted my traps and shoulder out and I can train without any pain now. I’ll be booking in with Tahler once a month from now on.

Fantastic experience: I love it

Fantastic experience: Had a sports massage from Tahler. I’ve been suffering with my tight back for years and Tahler has put me on the road to recovery. Very professional and knowledgable. Going every month from now on.

Negative experience: Awful, grey, uninviting, miserable and depressing. Worth a good walk out.

Fantastic experience: It's a big and spacious gym with great machines that you'd expect to find in a gym and also a good sized warm up area for stretching and circuit training. Better to go when it isn't busy.

Positive experience: The gym group is great! The equipments are well maintained and trainers are friendly and helpful. The monthly subscription is really affordable for both professionals and students

Positive experience: Best equipment and vibes are good for serious gym goers. Will meet similar minded.

Fantastic experience: Nice place nice ambiance

Negative experience: I got a parking fine ... even though I have gym membership. Not going to this gym again.

Positive experience: Much better after the refurbishment however I use the gym primarily for cardio and it is consistently far too warm to exercise comfortably e.g today is a warm summers day and it felt the same temperature inside as it did outside.

Negative experience: I did used to go to this gym until I received a fine for parking even though I entered my reg. I asked the gym twice to sort this as well as protesting the charge with the company. Heard nothing back then had to pay £170 when I thought this was sorted. Gym is also massively overcrowded and machines are broken all the time as people don’t respect the gym. Won’t be going back .

Negative experience: Joined recently and it is miles better after the refurb. However: - My knees were black after setting up for hip thrusts. - It is too hot even for weights + cardio is unbearable. Staff have said aircon is set to 22 degrees - so there is no issue with the aircon, it is just set to that high temp. Not helped by the windows in front of treadmills acting like a greenhouse.

Fantastic experience: The new refurb is really nice, loads of equipment and space. The members and staff are really friendly too, overall nice gym :)

Positive experience: Can i know what‘s the off-peak time, I want to continue my membership.

Fantastic experience: No email or notification that they would be closed from 8th Jun to 2nd Jul, I only found out at the door. Otherwise, it's a well equipped gym just like the other sites and multi-gym access is great.

Negative experience: I went to the gym group Kelham Island this afternoon, Sunday 9th June and it was closed. I was so surprised since it shouldn't be closed on Sunday. A paper was attached on the front door mentioned that the gym is going to be closed for refresh and members are invited to the gym group the Moor, etc. Unfortunately, there was no information regarding the closing.

Negative experience: The gym needs updating. In my opinion, the benches wobble about. Compared to the Chesterfield branch, this place needs work. hench, I've joined JD GYM

Negative experience: Terrible gym. Small and always overcrowded. I used to come because it was cheap. Came in today, my code wasn't working, two members of staff came to the door and said they couldn't help because the manager isn't in. I could call head office in the morning. Pitiful service. No doubt I'll get a parking fine cause I couldn't get in to use the machines to register my car. Shambles, stay away.

Negative experience: Moved up here recently paid for 3 months and had no communication from staff I emailed them explaining water machine that I pay 4 quid a month for is broken they said its reported... I've then contacted gym group email and had no reply I'm paying for something that's broken and no refund or help!!! Very bad company

Positive experience: I moved here because the location was more convenient. However there are a few cons that really could do with some improvement The air con needs turning up higher. It's getting warmer now outside and will get hotter in the summer months, I dread to think what it will be like then because it's already getting quite uncomfortable to work out in. There needs to be more Squat racks. 2 isn't enough. Always have to wait a while for one to become available. Also the free weights section could be bigger, it always feels so cramped and full of people, it makes it more intimdating to be a woman in there when we are all forced to be so packed together. Maybe less space could be used for the cardio machines as that area is never anywhere near full. The vending machine drinks are often lukewarm.

Fantastic experience: very friendly staff and great equipment

Positive experience: Great and accessible gym. Doesn't get too crowded but can be busy at times.

Negative experience: Used this place once after a while I received a letter saying that I have been fined £100 for parking in front of the gym lol Never knew that I had to pay for the parking to use the gym that I pay for the membership lol Never use this place again

Fantastic experience: Great space with friendly staff. Calum is the guy for PT sessions!!

Fantastic experience: Been coming 5+ years. They are always improving and it’s always clean.

Positive experience: Being a person who’s never been to the gym before, the staff at the gym group and the classes have made me feel at ease and has motivated me to go to the gym on a regular basis.

Fantastic experience: Reasonably priced but itdoes get a bit busy though however it's popular. Been coming for 7 years now.

Fantastic experience: Good gym nice staff

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym, very clean and friendly staff. Leon and Sam are a fantastic duo Highly recommend checking this gym out

Fantastic experience: Still the best gym I've ever been to as a senior member. I've even come to call some of the staff friends.

Fantastic experience: Great gym. Even better staff. Courtney always has a smile on her face and is very approachable

Fantastic experience: An amazing gym! I’ve been trying to gain weight for the last year and never got anywhere. But, I’ve been going here for the past 16 weeks training with my pt Sam, who has helped me get into shape for my wedding. I’ve gained 10KG and never felt better. The staff are amazing, they’re always helping you out and are very chatty. So if you’re wanting to start somewhere, this is the gym for you. I’m on the ultimate membership, which gets you free classes and discounts on clothing, food and accessories among other things.

Fantastic experience: Good gym and friendly staff, especially the tall one!

Fantastic experience: Great gym and friendly staff

Fantastic experience: Fab gym, really friendly and knowledgeable staff! Courtney is a brilliant PT!

Fantastic experience: Good gym, great atmosphere , very helpful staff

Positive experience: Nice PTs friendly environment. Equipment old af

Fantastic experience: Great gym manager Leon mantey is great and Sam is very tall

Positive experience: Great facility, loads of free weights. Could only improve with more squat racks

Fantastic experience: Great facilities, good amount space to do workouts and great value and location.

Fantastic experience: Excellent place to gym. Staff very supportive

Fantastic experience: Good price and 24/7 opening, so very convenient.

Positive experience: Love the place and its very affordable but should consider adding more smith machine and squat racks as it gets crowded quite easily.

Fantastic experience: One of my favourite gyms, if you're around ask for Courtney Gregory, she's been my trainer for 7 months now and she's patient, passionate and encouraging. Absolutely brilliant:)

Fantastic experience: Lovely staff, always made to feel very comfortable when working out

Fantastic experience: Imran is fun and pushes hard. He makes the session fun and enjoyable and makes us laugh whilst we feel the pain. Always remembers my name. Steve!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been using the The Gym at Kelham Island for the past year. The staff are always really friendly and happy to help, shout out to Courtney who always checks in on me in my sessions! Would recommend

Fantastic experience: Really enjoyed my class today, Courtney was a great trainer and very helpful, patient and encouraging! Looking forward to going again

Fantastic experience: I've been a member for around 6 years. This is a well run, well organised gym. Equipment is accessible even at the most busy times.

Fantastic experience: It’s a very serene place to workout,good and effective equipment for everyone to try.I so love the gym group.I will recommend this gym yeah

Fantastic experience: Really good gym nice with a welcoming environment. Staff are friendly and happy to help me out, especially Courtney with her friendly smile.

Fantastic experience: A lovely friendly gym alongside a very helpful personal trainer I have named Courtney! I’d highly recommend her as she’s professional and fun at the same time - big up Courtney!

Fantastic experience: Brilliant gym and staff. I’d like to see more PT’s step in when novice trainers are getting it very wrong.

Positive experience: Convenient gym with a good variety of equipment for both cardio and weights workouts. Can get extremely busy during peak times especially when there is a class on (which takes up half of the studio space). As a result, space is at a premium, which can make working out frustrating and time consuming. Frequently at least one piece of equipment is broken or missing parts. There have also been long term issues with the air conditioning units, which make working out in warmer weather uncomfortable. Staff are generally friendly although one member of staff can be 'over-friendly' with female members. I think with an increased footprint and better maintenance this could be a good gym, however after being a long-term member, I am considering moving elsewhere. Despite the convenience, other equally local gyms i.e. Ponds Forge offer a better class selection, a pool and a quieter, more reliable experience at a similar price point. In the past, The Gym was a much cheaper option, however increasingly their prices are not competitive (particularly if only using one branch). UPDATE: Much better after refurbishment with greater use of footprint. Lots more equipment and doesn't feel half as crowded. I miss the window view personally, but understand the panelling for privacy.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, not too busy

Fantastic experience: Best value. Great GYM! Nice PT!

Fantastic experience: Great gym, really nice people and very kind personal trainers!

Fantastic experience: Decent gym naftel is the best personal trainer

Negative experience: I wouldnt recommend this gym if you drive, always getting parking tickets even when i put my reg down

Positive experience: Pros: - Good location - Offers student membership - Recently added useful additions (third step machine, organisation tools for mats and weights) Cons: - Small free weights area that overfills easily and on top of this, staff blocks off half of this area for classes with 2 people -_- This happens regularly and the rest of us have to use the area within uncomfortable distance from each other - There are a bunch useless cardio machines that do not get used enough to justify their number (e.g. eliptical cross-trainers) and only three step machines (with the third one only recently added) - Equipment and area is dirty and they removed the one antibacterial spray that was left for members to use since COVID. If you're not going to clean, at least let me do it myself for the equipment I use. It's disgusting. - Not ventilated adequalely to the point where it becomes hard to breathe due to condensation on cold days - Only two squat racks in the whole gym ⁉️ Come on

Negative experience: Swapped to this gym as my old one was at the other side of Sheffield when we moved. The gym itself is a really good location and the staff were friendly. It was all a bit outdated though so didn't feel as though I was paying for the best equipment. All of the classes offered seemed to be aimed towards strength/conditioning rather than general fitness which is what's ultimately caused me to go back to my old gym. The idea of going to an outdated gym to try and motivate yourself for a couple of hours was hard to picture, so I left! I think they need to look at their classes offering and try and make it more inclusive of fitness goals and styles, personally.

Negative experience: So much equipment in one space feels a bit cramped but also not enough barbell weights, everyone is always walking around looking for them. Only 2 squat racks? Not ideal. a lot of equipment is old/outdated and even visibly rusty, it really needs to be refurbishing. It will do if you only go sporadically, but definitely not as good as other gym group places considering they’re all the same price.

Fantastic experience: What can I say? It's an excellent gym that's reasonably priced, with loads of great quality equipment, options to attend group classes for free which is there almost everyday. The option to visit any gym of the group across the country makes it even better!

Positive experience: Very good place a bit busy some times and in my opinion they are missing some machine's (some updates in the equipment)

Negative experience: This is the worst gym ever in sheffield. The machines are old, and sometimes they are broken, and they fix them after one month, and the price for this gym is bad its expensive for a bad gym like this. I could get a better gym for cheaper. I don't recommend this gym you can get a better one

Negative experience: I obtained a membership，drove there once, and unexpectedly received a £100 parking fine. It's supposed to be free parking, and this situation has left me perplexed. I seek clarification and a resolution from your end.

Fantastic experience: Editing my review because they have made great new improvements here. Brand new lockers, a screen to stop the sun shining in. As well as new equipment!

Negative experience: Bought a membership, been at the gym once and I got a £100 fine for parking. Nobody notified me that we have to pay for gym car park, you should include that information in the email or on the app. Cancelled my membership and I’ll never come back there.

Negative experience: You should have updated your festive opening hours, Here online as well. I drove for 15 minutes saw your opening hours stickers on entrance.

Positive experience: Decent gym for average person but poor for athletes/serious gym goers but location and 24h is good and its clean and the people seem okay

Positive experience: Mid gym, good if you want to out angle people easily

Negative experience: Always packed unless your a zombie or somebody who doesn't sleep and can be in the gym 2/3am

Positive experience: Decent gym for the price. Can get very busy at peak times obviously but nothing to complain about if you just want to use your standard gym machines etc.

Negative experience: So much ego, not a welcoming place. Some of the kit was broken. Not a lot of kit available at peak time, despite what website suggests.

Negative experience: A member of the gym on the moor had to go due it being closed. Awful layout. Cable machines were dirty, hadn’t been cleaned or oiled. PTS were just sat on their phones. Only good thing about it was the seated leg curl.

Fantastic experience: Nice New equipment but would have like to have been shown how to use the A second induction if you know what I mean

Negative experience: I was a loyal gym group member moving towns and bringing my membership to this gym. Unfortunately this is a very busy gym, it can get really crammed, no aircon makes it even worse in hot days! Rude staff (Mike) unprofessional during class, ignores participants and focuses on the 2 girls he knows on Facebook. Classes tend to be repetitive and lack intensity even the hiit class... Poorly cleaned gym floor, black free weights area often has a very dusty dirty floor. Equipment is often used and not returned. Foam rollers all broken noticed people using it incorrectly for heavy hip thrusts, told staff about it over 2 months ago and again 3 weeks ago - staff don't seem to care to educate /replace broken equipment. Growing frustrated with this gym, not planning to stay.

Negative experience: This gym is fine, normal cheap gym. The major major downside is the parking. You have to register your number plate each time you go. If you forget once... instant fine for 6 month's membership. The parking company chases you aggressively with threats of bailiffs if you don't pay quickly. The gym keeps a record of when you've been - why can't the parking company just get access to that? Absurd setup.

Positive experience: Great gym, lovely staff and good equipment. Only thing, please get the sink taps in the ladies fixed, water comes out boiling and there's no way to get it cold, not what you want after a work out.

Fantastic experience: Welcoming and inclusive. All the equipment you need. Friendly staff and PT’s. Highly recommend working with Courtney!

Fantastic experience: Courtney is so easy to communicate with, gets you to the goal that you need to be at! 5*

Fantastic experience: Very friendly staff always available to support Excellent environment Variety of equipments

Fantastic experience: Been on and off a member at this gym for 2 years, one of the best local gyms. Staff are friendly and it is very spacious with plenty of equipments . Free car parking and open 24 hours . Highly recommended

Positive experience: Gets crowded at time and it isn’t always easy being a woman working out alone but the equipment and staff are friendly and in general it is a good gym. Also great that it has free parking so near the centre of town!

Fantastic experience: Very good gym friendly staff great facilities

Fantastic experience: First gym I actually joined and my experience has been amazing so far! I recommend for first time gym joiners, and the trainers and staff are very friendly and helpful!

Fantastic experience: Lovely gym, quite spacious and plenty of equipment available to use. All the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Very great atmosphere every time.

Fantastic experience: A bit like Karate Kids theme tune for those 80s babies. "Its the best arrrrroound. Nothings ever gonna bring it down"

Fantastic experience: 10/10 amazing gym Amazing staff and great facility Very clean & well maintained equipment

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to this gym for the last 4 years and finds it suits my needs. There is a good selection of equipment including cardio, machine weights and free weights as well as a TRX, bands, steps, boxes etc. Over time I have worked with some personal trainers and learnt about training with free weights, kettlebells and HITT. Overall it’s a friendly atmosphere and staff are approachable and most members too. I’ve been to other gyms like Nuffield and virgin many years ago and they were triple the price. Without a doubt it’s nice to have a cafe and swimming poor but you pay for that. The gym is good value and open 24hrs a day.

Fantastic experience: Used Dave Pearson as a personal trainer on and off for years. Very knowledgeable and knows what he's doing. Highly recommended and he was very thoughtful for what to have me doing knowing I suffer from arthritis in my feet.

Fantastic experience: this gym environment is very good there are so many equipments there, the staff is friendly, especially Sam, a really great PT , someone who want to take 1 to 1 can choose him.

Fantastic experience: Used the gym while staying with friends and will definitely use again when back over that way. Great facilities with a good option of weights and cardio equipment. Staff are also very friendly and welcoming which is a huge plus.

Fantastic experience: Reasonably priced, great range of equipment and clean! A special shout out to GM Leon and FT Courtney, two really stand out members of the team at Kelham island.

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff, clean equipment and nice vibe overall x

Positive experience: Very friendly but very busy at times. Regardless it is worth the money.
