Our comment from FitFit UK about Better Gym Bradford:
Better Gym Bradford offers an impressive fitness experience with clean and spacious facilities, making it popular among its members. The gym is well-maintained and features a variety of equipment for cardiovascular and strength training. Users have praised the friendly and helpful staff, the excellent quality of the equipment, and competitive pricing, with many stating it’s well worth the money.
Among the highlights of Better Gym Bradford are:
- Convenient location with free parking
- Newly extended ladies-only gym
- Wide range of fitness classes available
- Dedicated free weight section
- Complimentary induction sessions for new members
However, some members have expressed concerns. Occasional wait times for equipment during peak hours can be an issue, and there have been reports of poor maintenance of certain machines, particularly the steam room and sauna facilities, which some feel require immediate attention.

Despite these drawbacks, many members find Better Gym Bradford to be a solid choice for fitness enthusiasts, especially considering its affordability and positive community atmosphere.

Better Gym Bradford: Opinions
Fantastic experience: Great space, Always clean, Sauna is great. All the weights an machines you need to have a good workout, yes could benefit from changing up the machines as some are just terrible, maybe more leg press style machines would do wonders for this place.Overall it’s convenient and clean with friendly staff ✌
Positive experience: I have been coming here for about a year absolutely perfect. No issues with the gym or equipment. The staff currently are very helpful and kind. The only thing I would say is buy some decent lockers as most of them don't secure the pad lock.
Thanks Hussain for your review. We will be investing in the lockers in the new year.
Fantastic experience: Amazing product!!! That’s what I was looking for – excellent quality and best equipment to use at better gym it's worth every penny coming here . You won't regret using their equipment builds good stamina its quality, style, features, and worth using these equipment
Thank you for the great review Shela!
Negative experience: Never recommend. For a machine you should wait 30 minutes. There is just one machine of each machine. Never never recommend. I was wrong registered there and it’s the first and last month of all my life been in Better gym. Don’t waste your money and time there.
Hi Awat, sorry to hear you have given us 1 star. However, we try to cater for all members, we do have multiple machines for the more heavily used types. We are busy because we offer a great fitness package at affordable prices and unfortunately, this sometimes means a longer wait at certain times. Maybe come back during quieter times if you don’t wish to wait.
Fantastic experience: Decent gym but a gym is only what you make it tbh so if your want to properly train then this is the spot
Thank you for the great review Haaris.
Fantastic experience: Was Good experience
Thanks Waleed!
Positive experience: Good quite gym... cant guve 5 stars becouse somtimes machine broke and it takes long time to bee fixed
Negative experience: My husband been physically assaulted in the gym yesterday. He was fainted on the floor. Management is so pathetic, no one bother to call the ambulance when I arrived i had to call the ambulance he was sat on chair with head injury etc. This gym should be ban for operating. And there should be more than one person operating the service.
Hi Sobia, unfortunately your statement is not true. The ambulance was contacted immediately, we have no control over the time they take to attend. Our staff member supported your husband and stayed over an hour and a half after our closing time to ensure you felt supported. We are unable to be there next to every single incident/accident that takes place. We do all we can to ensure our members are safe but when a rare incident like this takes place, we let the emergency services handle it and we assist as much as we can. We can’t control the actions of every single member and we don’t deserve a 1 star because of an incident that could have happened anywhere.
Fantastic experience: The best gym
Thanks Ana!
Positive experience: Only rejoined after covid as sauna was up and running
Negative experience: Wouldn’t recommend if you’re a lady wanting to use the only women’s area. The open gym have way more to offer but as a women who started wanting to work out in the ladies gym I’m very disappointed as nothing much to offer at all it’s very disappointing.. also don’t find it very comfortable sharing the sauna or steam room with the men, think they should have their own!
Hi Chantel, thank you for your reply. The ladies gym has enough kit available to complete a full body workout. Female members have the added option to use this space alongside the main gym. This is why we carry out tours for visitors to have a look around, before deciding to join the gym to find out if it is suitable for your requirements. We also have female only sessions in the sauna and steam room if you prefer to not use it with men.
Fantastic experience: I have a good workout here
Excellent, thanks Zainab!
Negative experience: Awful gym for ladies! Twice this year my membership has been “cancelled” without warning or any emails to say my account is suspended, and I have had to a pay sign up fee twice. Happened for the third time last week and they asked me to pay £32. Pretty expensive for a gym that has 5 treadmills in the “ladies section” if you can call it that. Had to wait 20 + mins at peak time for a machine to be free. The showers are rank at any given time, sanitary pads will be floating around in the woman's showers alongside clumps of hair blocking drains because they’re not cleaned properly. The toilet in the ladies bathroom has been out of use ever since I started going to this gym last year. I used to work at a gym, I can see when members are put first vs grabbing as much cash as you can. If you can’t accommodate a reasonable ladies only space then simply don’t have one! 5 treadmills is not good enough, having to get in line for a machine at the gym is not good enough.
Hi Bisma, thank you for your review. Unfortunately, we have looked in to your account and can see that your bank account direct debit had been cancelled. This has nothing to do with us. You were charged £32 as you signed up during thr middle of the month, this then charges you for the following month, so you would not have paid any extra charges overall than the prices we have advertised. This was explained to you at the time of joining. We are the cheapest budget gym in Bradford. Unfortunately, any gym during peak time, you may have to have a slight wait for kit. We also have plenty more treadmills in the main gym that are free to use. The toilets are all working and the gym is cleaned two to three times minimum per day.
Positive experience: Would not recommend, have ladies room, but not too much equipment there, not the best gym. Clean
Positive experience: It's OK not sure about the sharing of the sauna and health suite on different days and times for men and women. It would be better if each had their own. There is a ladies section and studio for classes and is quite neat and tidy. Toilets could be cleaner and the showers could do with a jet wash they looked a bit dingy.
Positive experience: I'm there Monday to Friday, and love the place, one staff member shouldn't work there tho...
Fantastic experience: Economical and good
Positive experience: Good facilities and machinery
Negative experience: Very poor equipment treadmill never get serviced they stop during a work out weight machine the pins to adjust the weight they always missing so you can't use the machine some staff are not serving customers but chatting to women it's a joke thus gym
Hi Ibrar, We service our kit regularly, these are heavily used kit. The pins are moved by members but all have been replaced and should not be removed from kit as this causes them to get lost.
Fantastic experience: Is a low-cost gym with brand-new equipment and trainers. They also have a full group exercise programme, with dedicated women-only classes. They have a newly extended ladies-only gym. Their trainers conduct 220 fitness classes a month. Better Gym Bradford 120+ station gym includes their cardiovascular section, which gives you seven different choices of cardio. Their dedicated free weight section contains dumbbells (2kg-50kg), power racks, Olympic bars, benches and cable machines. The ladies-only gym also provides every member with a free 30-minute induction with a female instructor who will help get you in the shape of your life.
Thanks for the 5 star review!
Negative experience: The system of this gym it’s Suit professional thief’s Temporarily stopping the subscription costs you five pounds, and canceling the subscription costs an additional month fee, for example, if you request to stop the subscription in January, your request will be implemented in March, and thus you will be forced to pay fees for an additional month that you do not want .. A professional theft program in the absence of government officials
Hi, Freezing a membership costs £5 and you are advised of this on joining and to cancel you must provide 30 days notice. This is fairly basic terms and conditions for most subscriptions and you have accepted these terms on sign up. We can’t just cancel in a day. You cancelled towards the back end of the month and therefore were charged the following month as explained to you.
Negative experience: Why isn’t there any photos of the swimming pool
Why would there be photos of a swimming pool if we don’t have a swimming pool?
Negative experience: poor customer service the worker was rude and equipment broken. avoid gym
Positive experience: Steem Room too hot need temperature control
Negative experience: This gym has gone downhill. Old equipment of which some machines are faulty and out of order. Equipment needs attention asap (DEFINITELY REPLACING) The place is accumulating a lot of dust which is visible on the walls/speakers/and windows around the gym. Needs a deep clean. Thought this gym was a not for profit organisation so why can’t they re invest the money back into the facilities.???
Positive experience: Very clean equipment and good location
Negative experience: Please fix the steam room. I joined this gym due to the sauna and steam room facilities offered. Unfortunately the steam room has been extremely disappointing, especially these past two weeks with no steam at all. When I first joined, the steam room was excellent. There was so much steam, you could hardly see the person next to you. Unfortunately this didn't last long. For months it has been temperamental. Now there is no steam at all and it is at a very low temperature. Please fix this issue.
Positive experience: Very good gym lots of space and machines for cardio but the havey weight exercise area is small and less equipment. And the time for weekend is too short.
Fantastic experience: Good service. Nice staff.
Negative experience: Poor customer services Unable to speak to local gym staff It’s not a community gym just another corporate numbers game. Very very disappointing. We called with a membership enquiry but seemed liked the customer services staff wasn’t interested at all in helping.
Fantastic experience: Very best I love steam room
Negative experience: Very friendly staff but need better cleaning (a lot of dust on the walls and ceiling’s. Old Equipment’s Bathroom washing liquid none left for few days , mirror broke … Gym close at 22:00 Monday till Friday and the TV’s and Music Stop at 21:30… Very ugly Costumers been complaining but never nothing been done… music should be on till 22:00 …Can’t stop the Tv or Music when I listen or watch when I run … very disappointed…. Hope something will change
Positive experience: Gym is absolutely fine, equipment is decent missing odd few machines but really sound for the money. I really don't know what the 1* reviews expect for the price. I go there to train and never had one issue with training. It is clean, yeh dust on the vents but that's the same almost anywhere. The sauna I don't go for that so I can't comment. For the price I have 0 complaints would give it 5* if it had a few more machines.
Positive experience: The steam room and sauna were closed for well over 2 years. They opened earlier this month, after they were supposed to have been revamped and refurbished and today just 3 weeks into opening the steam room is not working not bad going when it's been closed for 2 years.
Positive experience:
Negative experience: They could do with more excerise machines in there compare to there other sites they have more .and swimming pools and still waiting a very long time for there sauna and steam room .where it been off a very long time .. still no sign of when exactly will they turn on there new sauna and steam room .when it could be done in couple of weeks .cancelling soon
Negative experience: I hate that under 16’s get much less time to go to the gym
Negative experience: Opening times really bad. Saturday and Sunday closing at 17:00.
Positive experience: Could do with a better facility of machines
Positive experience: Good gym, but shames can’t get the stream room fixed. Reason loosing clients
Negative experience: Submitted a cancellation form twice now. Description says will be dealt with within 3 days it’s been 2 weeks now had no response whatsoever from gym. Also called the gym no answer at all. Fully robbing members by providing poor gym facilities and not responding when members want to cancel. AVOID THIS GYM AT ALL COSTS.
Positive experience: Unsafe some machines, Broken mirrors Toilet dirty(sometimes) Best and nice staff
Fantastic experience: W
Hi Tauheed, many thanks for reviewing Better Gym Bradford. I am not sure what you mean by wifi broken as every other member uses our wifi to gain access to the centre without any issues. We are more than happy to assist with setting your phone up on your next visit. A 1 star review is quite harsh if your only issue is the wifi connection. We hope you enjoy the rest of the facilities when using Better Gym Bradford and look forward to your next visit to ensure you have no further issues.
Negative experience: In winter they never put the Heating on and in summer they never put the AC on.
Hi Hina, thank you for reviewing however your review is false. We do put heating and Ac on when required. If you are unhappy with the temperature during your visit please speak to 1 of our staff members who will be more than happy to accomodate you. I am not sure this reason alone is worth a 1 star for our club but I can see you have given 1 star to nearly all your visits to different places on Google reviews.
Fantastic experience: Very clean and tidy
Hi Zoey, thank you very much for the 5 star review.
Fantastic experience: Good gym.
Hi Adnan, thank you very much for the 5 star review.
Positive experience: Great
Hi Afghan, thank you for your review.
Positive experience: مركز جيم منظم
Positive experience: Good facilities, cheap price and decent opening hours. Would recommend to anyone. I've been a few different times and always managed to go on machines. Could do with a more staff presence making sure gym is tidy. Free parking which is good.
Positive experience: No fat checker. Rest of the things are good.
What is that? We have weighing scales.
Positive experience: Its a very nice gym.for the price you pay its well worth it.
Fantastic experience: This gym is very convenient gym especially for the elderly and there is lots of free parking, It’s clean & well managed. Staff are friendly and approachable, always happy to answer any questions.
Negative experience: No worth at all
Positive experience: Have All you need at Gym. Quite Busy at times and booking neccesery.
Positive experience: It's a very nice gym with everything required to fit your needs. But there are two reasons in why I am only giving it 3 stars. 1. Some of the equipment is a bit rusty or makes high pitched noises when using them. It's more of a nuisance and will not hinder your workout. 2. It is extremely cold in the building. I always have to wear a hoodie and sometimes I shiver. This hinders my workout as I have asthma and cold air hurts my lungs when I do cardio, luckily I bought an excersize bike for my home. I'm sure this is because of COVID but I sometimes wonder if they are cheap when it comes to heating. Other then that I think this is a good gym that also fits the covid requirements so you needn't worry about that when you workout here.
Positive experience: Quite good equipment, not many in the Gym but nobody to discuss membership options
Negative experience: the biggest minus of this gym is that if it arrives at 6:00 am in the morning it should be open but it is not ,This has happened several times, I am not happy about it
Fantastic experience: Joined A Week Ago A Very Nice Place 2 Keep Fit Active Make Frdz. After Yr Work Out You Can Relax In The Sona/Steam Room, Very Friendly Staff There. Lots Of Classes 2 Go 2 You Will Love It Some Thing New To Do Every Day. I love The Place Go 4-5 Times A Week 10 Mins away Frm My House. Try It You WilL Enjoy iT 1 Step At A Time.
Fantastic experience: Good gym at a great rate. Includes a variety and range of classes. Women’s shower facilities are excellent. Only painful thing is after using the sauna you have to get changed again to walk out to get to the women’s shower area. Would be great if it was connected to the sauna room (which is the case for the lads - Also a bit unfair). But other than that 5* because it’s always kept clean, affordable, and easy to access and park! Great management also, always sort out any queries promptly.
Fantastic experience: Very good place
Fantastic experience: fantastic
Fantastic experience: Amazing atmosphere, the trainers there are amazing
Positive experience: Decent gym for the basic necessities but lacking for a few machines. Also only one bench press (flat), that doesn't bode well with the fifty people trying to use it at peak times..
Fantastic experience: Friendly.
Negative experience: Worst gym ever literally ques for g equipment Company's really unprofessional and take payments out twice then spend weeks refunding you ..... or sommetims don't and say it's under investigation
Fantastic experience: I like the gym alot. The facilities are very good and the price is affordable. It is always clean and the quality of the machines are exemplary. I would definitely recommend this gym.
Positive experience: This place is very niece
Positive experience: Gym is good But not repairing steam room
Positive experience: The gym is good only problem is the steam room has not been working since march 2019 its a disgrace .told them on many occasions.Dont seem to get a straight answer apart from that it works for me. We arenow in the year 2021 and o can understand wehave been through a pandemic.However the steam room has had since 2019 to get repaired .But guess what its july 2021 and we are still waiting
Hi, We are currently in the process of replacing the steam room and will have this done as soon as possible. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Negative experience: Not as good as easy gym tbh
Fantastic experience: Clean and spacious .
Negative experience: Avoid at all costs all complaints have been fobbed off steam room/ sauna area is very unhygienic I don’t think it even reaches the correct temperature not to mention the missing tiles that you have to sit on if we ask staff when will more shower facilities be provided all we get is a candid answer of soon! currently three cubicles and three open showers on a typical night about 25 /30 males in the building, you do the maths!!!!!
Hi Idris, We are currently looking at getting a brand new steam room. We are looking to find the perfect solution for our members, as you can imagine, this can take time but we want to make sure we get it right. In regards to the showers, we have 6 showers in the male and female changing rooms. We are reviewing the cubicle situation at the moment. We thank you for your patience and hope you enjoy the rest of our facilities, such as brand new 4 way punch bag and free classes. We also have unlimited sauna access included with all applicable memberships.
Negative experience: Avoid thia gym it is really unhygienic. The management dont care with the amount of complaints people have done. All the things that we were promised was never delivered. Ive been coming here for the last two years and it is still the same. My suggestion is to go somewere better for a cheaper price and a better facility
Hi Safraz, We currently have cleaners working throughout the day to keep the whole club clean for all our visitors. We will be more than happy to talk to you in person to discuss any concerns you have, as we take huge pride in keeping our club clean and looking good.
Positive experience: Good for the price you pay, not too busy at rush hour
Positive experience: It’s a very convenient gym in the community Especially for the elderly who straggle to travel far . loads of free parking spaces , the ladies section is small but compact . It’s clean and the ladies shower area is well managed and clean . For the price you pay the sauna and stream room is a bonus. Staff are friendly and approachable, always happy to answer any questions. It’s not a 5 star luxury gym but your not paying big money to join and attend .
Positive experience: From a weight loss journey to my new favourite hobby. My favourite place to de-stress!!
Positive experience: pumped!
Negative experience: Sauna and steam room are in very poor condition. Chosen this gym as wanted to join gym and also steam and sauna room. Very disappointed and looking forward to change the gym.
Fantastic experience: Real good
Fantastic experience: Clean and nice place
Negative experience: This moment that gym no have stream room pass 3 weeks the showers need a good care good clean.
Positive experience: Great facilities for the community
Fantastic experience:
Negative experience: They only have two portable platform decks which is annoying as you have to go round the whole gym to search for one that’s available. You book classes online only to find out that they’re not running when you arrive. There’s limited accessories for the cable machines (only 1 tricep rope and 2 revolving bars that I’ve found which I don’t think is enough due to the size/capacity of the gym). The female staff are so unfriendly (would be diff if you’re male) It’s been so hard to engage with them and they give you death stares and walk around with an attitude, giving off an unwelcoming vibe. Hard to get any form of conversation or advice out of them. A smile wouldn’t kill afterall you’re meant to be creating a professional friendly and motivational environment for all your customers no matter what shape or size. If it wasn’t for the miserable looking female staff giving off bad vibes, then the gym is fairly okay. It’s the closest gym to my home so it is in a convenient location however, due to the female staff making you feel uncomfortable, I’ll be going elsewhere and telling people about it.
Negative experience: The showers are in an awful state and have been for months. No movement from estates / repair / maintenance. Dangerous and Health and safety risk. Will upload photos to Better gym first
Positive experience: You get what you pay for. Adequate facilities and can be busy at times. Rated four due to the shower doors not closing properly. It has been left unseen to for a long time and it is annoying for many.
Negative experience: What a waste of money. They provide no tissue or hygiene spray to spray the exercise equipment after using it. The place absolutely stinks and department of health need to close this place down. Their closing times on Friday, Saturday and Sunday are too early at 6pm. Even if they had it close at 9pm on weekends then it would negotiable. All the mens showers are broken so there's no place to shower.
Negative experience: Looking good from outside but they accept only local bank accounts for payment. Cash or international credit cards not possible = foreigners have to choose another gym. Pity!
Positive experience: Sauna time table could be better
Fantastic experience: Been there long time never had any problems
Negative experience: This gym is absolutely filthy!! The Manager and his side kick (Female) are very rude and ignorant!!! I will be making a complaint to Health and Safety!
Fantastic experience: Price is good staff are helpful the new gym is great. All facilities work and the people who go there are extremely helpful for beginners
Positive experience: Please clean treadmills on female side they are covered in dust
Fantastic experience: I have met 2 of the staff very nice people. I enjoy coming to this gym can't go wrong for the price either.
Positive experience: The gym is starting to make a lot of positive changes but the thing that lets it down the most is how messy it is. The staff seem to allow certain people (who they know personally) to leave weights all over the place. I don't want to make this a racial issue but in a room full of Asian men, I was the only person who was asked to put weights away (I am a white male) and the worst part is I was never using them in the first place. The female staff member was very rude. Anyone that knows me knows that I respect everybody no matter what, but this was very annoying for me.
Fantastic experience: Great gym
Negative experience: Rubbish
Fantastic experience: Great place.
Fantastic experience: Much improved
Positive experience: Decent gym, nothing spectacular but does the job
