Fantastic experience: The Box has a great sense of community and make all newcomers and members feel very comfortable and welcome no matter what their level of fitness and where they are on their fitness journey. The group class aspect of their workouts are very appealing for myself and motivation ( which is hard sometimes on your own) is always high.

Fantastic experience: I work away from home near Barnsley and jump on the box classes when I can. I can honestly say the first time I rocked up I was made to feel so so welcome and every time I turn up it gets better! From the staff to the members it’s an absolute delight! I just wish I could go more often but I do know I’m more than welcome anytime I attend! Not a gym like it!!!

Fantastic experience: I love the box. I have been going for 10 months now and as a beginner I am always made to feel welcome and part of the team. The community this place has is special and makes it so much more than just a gym. My functional fitness has improved so much. 4 fabulous coaches all with their own style and PT available too. My favourite part is the 6am club!

Fantastic experience: Such an amazing gym! Since joining I’ve been welcomed by the best, most supportive community. I had never lift a weight in my life, and struggled with a lot of the lifts/strength training, but the coaches were so friendly and encouraging and adapted workouts so I could be included. They’ve spent time teaching me the correct form and my fitness and strength has improved in just 2 months! I’ve never enjoyed training as much as I do at the box.
Thank you for your wonderful review, Kelsey! We're thrilled to hear you've felt welcomed and supported by our community. It's great to know how much you've improved in just two months! We look forward to continuing to support you on your fitness journey.

Fantastic experience: Best decision I’ve ever made! New gyms can be really daunting but from my very first session everyone made me feel so welcome and I’ve pretty much been 5 times a week ever since. The coaches are great, they scale all the work outs to your level so you always feel like you have achieved something. The community is great and everyone genuinely wants to see you do well. 100% recommend. ✨

Fantastic experience: After being really anxious to try, I finally plucked up enough courage to try a class. And even though I didn’t think I was fit enough, I gave it a go. 6 months later and I’m in the best shape I’ve been since my mid 20’s. All of the coaches are awesome, incredibly knowledgeable and make the classes a lot of fun. But the best thing about the Box, is the community. The support and encouragement you receive from every single member is wonderful. 5 ⭐️ deffo would recommend! See you there!

Fantastic experience: Training at the box isn’t like any other gym, it’s a safe, supportive and an encouraging place to train without feeling intimidated by others achievements. Such a variety of classes I want to go to them all! The coaches are always helpful and engaging and happy to adjust the workouts to your level of ability. There’s a great social aspect and a ‘gym family’ vibe which is inclusive of everyone and everyone’s ability.

Fantastic experience: Thanks for giving me the opportunity, I absolutely love training here and feel fitter and stronger than I have done for the past 15 years! I love the fact that every class is different and I have learned skills and movements that 12 months ago I would never have dreamed I be doing. My body shape is also changing too. It’s a fantastic supportive community with no egos and excellent, patient, coaches who will ensure that movements are done correctly to minimise injury and can tailor the workouts to individual abilities.

Fantastic experience: “The Box” what can I say! I’ve trained in a few functional gyms in the last 7 years. Some good some not so good. But one thing I can say about The Box is, it’s refreshing. There’s no cliques, no egos and no drama. Just 100% good vibes. Fantastic people, fantastic classes, fantastic equipment and fantastic coaching. There’s an on site coffee shop and a vending machine packed with protein snacks and drinks. What more could you ask for! Honestly the best place to throw down in a workout with your mates. Regardless of your fitness level, age or abilities you’re welcomed into a community like no other. Definitely recommend.

Fantastic experience: I decided to take part in an eight week nutrition challenge at The Box Barnsley. Initially, I was worried that the 2000+ calories a day would make me gain weight, I was scared to trust the process. During my first check in I was put at ease, everything was explained to me and i started on my journey. Daily macros are set out in a meal plan, and a shopping list is provided for the weekly meals. The plan is easy to follow and plenty of options to swap meals if you wish. My weekly check in photos show the awesome progress I have made. I have lost weight 62.85kg to 58.05kg I have lost inches bust 36.6inc to 34.5inc Body fat Down, muscle gain UP. Running faster and for longer distances. ♀️And feeling Strong when lifting weights I'm sleeping better and not feeling tired during the afternoon. Overall I feel great. All by eating over 2000 calories a day, who would have thought!! I've enjoyed the challenge so much I'm staying on plan to build muscle and continue to feel amazing Thank you to the coaches at The Box Barnsley for top class programming and support
Thank you for your amazing feedback, Kerry Storrar! Keep up the fantastic work and we're thrilled to hear about the incredible progress you've made during the eight week nutrition challenge. We appreciate your support and dedication to your health and fitness goals.

Fantastic experience: Joined The Box Barnsley Friday for my first session started with cardio, got itchy feet and done the All levels Saturday & I’ve just booked on to be a member! What an amazing team! Cannot wait to get stuck in ♀️
Fantastic experience: After spending a good few years not enjoying training/gym, moving to The Box to try something new has reignited my love for training again. The coaches are amazing and very patient and willing to help with your personal improvement. Great gym with a great community. Thank you
Fantastic experience: If you’re looking for a fitness community like no other, look no further. Such a welcoming and homely gym with dedicated coaches and supportive members. Always look forward to my training sessions ♂️
Fantastic experience: The Box Barnsley is and outstanding fitness facility and supportive community. Classes and programming are excellent - high quality and so much variety to keep you interested and challenged. Coaches are second to none - knowledgeable and focused on the growth of every individual, no matter your level or goals. Members are the icing on the cake - down to earth and a great bunch of people to train alongside. The place to be!
Fantastic experience: Rachael and Oliver are just a pleasure to work with. The gym is a wonderful training environment and we'd highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Love the Box, great group of people that don't make it seem like a workout! Alex and Jack are really supportive but also push you to your limits! Couldn't recommend it enough!
Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this place! Great atmosphere, such a good community of people and the coaches are amazing and so knowledgeable. Always pushing you to do the best you can and more. This is the first time in the fitness aspect of my life I have enjoyed every element of it and feel like I have made such progress in the last 2 months of been here. Such a variation of classes for all abilities I actually get FOMO when I have a day off! Thanks to the entire team for creating such a fun place to be!
Fantastic experience: 2 classes in on the beginners class, never undertaken anything of this nature before, friendly and patient coaches. This was a big step for me as never been to a gym before, but glad I chose this one. Functionsl skill certainly gives a full body workout.
Fantastic experience: Had my first beginners class at the box. After watching my children in the teen class and seeing the level of coaching and how much my kids enjoyed it I thought I would love to have a go. A mum of 4 children at the grand age of 43 I was so nervous I wouldn’t be able to do it . But I’m so glad I went I was made to feel so comfortable and the coaches were fantastic I absolutely loved it. I can not wait to go to the next class.
Fantastic experience: So I joined when the Box first opened as a founding member, not knowing what to expect, I mean I knew it was gonna be harder than conventional gym but that's what I was looking for, that extra to help my jiu-jitsu and I'm not disappointed. The coaches are top class, really helpful, really friendly people and the atmosphere is awesome, really good vibe, classes are really well thought out, hard work but fun, a month in n I can already feel a difference, would highly recommend giving it a go.
Fantastic experience: Spent some time sat on the fence when thinking about a gym like The Box…but as the New Year approached I decided to take the leap and have not regretted it for a second! Such an incredibly welcoming environment as a beginner and all classes made fully accessible for all levels! Coaches are excellent with time for everyone and the atmosphere is so encouraging!
Thank you for your great review. It’s good to have you part of the team, let’s get to work on your goals.

Fantastic experience: This has to be one of my favourite place! Such an amazing atmosphere, as well as all the best equipment. The coaching is second to none! They have all the time to answer any questions asked.
Fantastic experience: If I could give more than 5 stars I would! Knowledgeable coaches, fantastic programming and classes, state of the art facilities and equipment, great vibe and genuine community gym spirit. Wouldn't train anywhere else. The Box is the place to be!
Fantastic experience: Great place to train
