Urban Reform

Fantastic experience: From the moment you walk in, you feel genuinely welcomed not just by the staff, but by the entire community. There’s an energy here that makes you want to show up, push yourself, and actually enjoy the process.

Fantastic experience: I needed some training on hyrox since I want a new motivation away from weights. And it honestly has got me use to being comfortable at being uncomfortable. Something I wasn’t keen on before. The only thing I would say is need more emphasis on technique. But other than that great gym.

Fantastic experience: I joined Urban Reform after several recommendations and it has fully lived up to expectations. The coaches are supportive and knowledgeable, the community atmosphere is incredibly positive and the sessions are consistently well-structured, varied, and challenging. It’s addictive and the progress I’ve made towards my goals have been massive.

Fantastic experience: Incredibly friendly and welcoming team! The workouts are tough, but the coaches push me in every single class and I am the fittest I have been in a long-time, reaching goals I never knew I had! Joining this gym was the best decision I made when I moved to Manchester earlier this year :)

Fantastic experience: BEST GYM IN MANCHESTER! If you're looking to join a gym that has community, quality coaching and unbelievable support then this is the gym for you. I've been coming to UR for over 18 months now and it's completely changed my fitness game. PB'd hyrox, 5k, 10k, half mara and mara. More than the results themselves, the staff and owners are amazing. Special mention to Rick, Dean, Mo, Chris and Louis who make this gym so special and are now good friends! Facilities are amazing and constantly improving and the standards are set in every session.

Fantastic experience: A great community feel gym who beast you hard. No class is the same the gym vibes are great whatever class you attend - the coaches are amazing! Couldn't recommend enough and guaranteed to come with a sweat on but endorphins on a high

Fantastic experience: UR has become the second home for me. Definitely you will get the best out of it without any doubt. Programming is very well executed and it suits your needs whether you want to be fit or attend to any hybrid or Hyrox event. The coaches and community are the best and you’ll be in the right hands all the way through your journey and you will experience perfect teamwork with members. If you’re in Manchester and still don’t know which gym to join, stop thinking and sign up! Best results guaranteed!

Fantastic experience: Great staff, equipment and everyone is welcome - would recommend!

Fantastic experience: Great trainers and great community ! This place changed my life. I have never been a gym geek, nor that I am now, but joining UR was the best decision I’ve made this year. The training is so smartly customised to my fitness needs and level, that made me not only enjoy, but love it ! And when you see the results is such short time, it’s impossible not to love it ! I have never stayed with a gym for more than 6 months, but this time, with UR, I feel it will be a long term relationship

Fantastic experience: Very great gym. Superb classes and very warm community.

Fantastic experience: Elite coaches, killer classes, electric vibes, and the best people! Training here will take you to another level! Can't recommend it enough.

Fantastic experience: The most amazing place to train in the City Centre of Manchester. You won't find a better atmosphere. Best workouts, best people, best coaches.

Fantastic experience: This was a great high energy session, the team is lovely and knowledgeable. The place just has a good vibe.

Fantastic experience: Best training and very friendly and professionalism the personal trainers . You feel like your home gym

Fantastic experience: Have been coming to urban reform for 2 years now, if that doesn't tell you much I love this place and don't know what does. From joining on the Transform group to now being on the Healthfit programme; meeting the most amazing people who have also become great friends and I've been trained by amazing coaches who I am forever grateful for. Past and present coaches support and encourage in every class. It's not just a gym, it's an incredible community ❤️

Fantastic experience: Great Hyrox gym! Coaches invested in your improvement with progressive programming and modifying workouts. There isn't an elitist feeling and there are plenty of other things going on to make a little gym community.

Negative experience: They offer a trial class on their website. When you book the trial class they cancel your booking last minute and ask you to pay for it. The reason which they gave for cancellation was that the trial class i booked (hyrox) was very popular and so i would need to buy it in order to attend it. But no where on their website this was mentioned, and the website allows you to use trial session for that class. False marketing, would not recommend this fitness centre. Update on owner response : You were more then happy to offer the same Hyrox class to absolute beginners of Manchester young professionals members. Because they paid for it and it was your marketing. So your comment about not offering to beginners is wrong. I had also mentioned i am well experienced and quite frankly your health fit coaches aren't fit enough to be coaching more advanced people. Most average body builders look fitter than them.

Fantastic experience: This is the best gym ever!!! It has helped me to overcome my hatred for running and this time last year I wouldn’t even consider running 1k.. now I am training to do my second Hyrox comp & a half marathon! .. All the members are lovely, supportive and welcoming. The coaches are super friendly very helpful, knowledgeable, motivating and always push you to get that personal best NOT JUST A GYM… We are a community

Fantastic experience: Been training here for over 2 year now and the gym’s gone from strength to strength. Top coaches and great variety of classes with a mint atmosphere. Would recommend the Hyrox programme. Best gym in town, easy.

Fantastic experience: Stepping into this gym feels like stepping into a big, supportive family. Everyone's so friendly and encouraging! It doesn't matter if you're just starting out or you're a seasoned gym-goer, they're always there to cheer you on. It's the kind of place where you feel like you can tackle any challenge with a smile.

Fantastic experience: Urban Reform is the best! It’s honestly changed my life. I’ve gone from just joining to see what it’s all about and get fit to falling in love with Hyrox and competing; they’ve made my fitness and running come on so much in such a short space of time!!!! The coaches are incredible. Always so upbeat, positive and only ever want you to succeed. The atmosphere training at Urban Reform is amazing and look forward to my sessions each week: 1) to get a kick out of training hard, but 2) to spend time with the girlies.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Urban Reform. I joined UR at the start of January because I wanted to start competing in Hyrox. They offer an incredible Hyrox Programme which has improved my fitness drastically. The coaches are very supportive and knowledgeable. They bring a lot of energy to every session which is very rare in other gyms. This makes the experience much more enjoyable. There is a very close Community and everyone is super friendly! I have become obsessed with Hyrox thanks to Urban Reform.

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym with awesome coaches and owners who actually care about their members.

Fantastic experience: The programming of the Hyrox classes at Urban Reform is great. Superb mix of strength, engine and simulation sessions to get you ready for race day or help you reach your fitness goals. All the coaches are class, providing support, advice and encouragement where needed. They’ve built a proper sound community as well. No egos, everyone is just there to better themselves and help each other!

Fantastic experience: Urban Reform has changed my life completely! The most supportive group of coaches and I have made friends for life training with the most amazing group of people. Don’t know what I would do without the classes at Urban and where I would be. Would definitely recommend to everyone!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been to a lot of gyms in my time, and I can honestly say this one is right up there with the best of them. The team at Urban Reform provide the right type of programming to push you and support you in equal measure, and you will always feel like you’ve earned your day after a class. If you’re looking to find a community of like-minded members and coaches, with a real passion for fitness who walk the walk and talk the talk, this is the place for you. Everyone is made to feel welcome, it’s not clicky in the slightest. Just partner up with someone on workout, introduce yourself, send it together, and you’ve made a fitness friend. It’s that easy. See you on the dance floor

Fantastic experience: UR is a great place to come workout. Not only do they have highly skilled coaches but they come with a wide variety of knowledge to help you hit your goals. There are loads of things to get involved with ranging from health fit classes and mountain walks all the way to training / competing in Hyrox events. UR isn't just a gym, it's a community!

Fantastic experience: Love the community that this gym has built! Sick city centre hyrox affiliated gym, the trainers and coaches are lovely, and they really invest in the attendees at the classes. I’ve made so many new friends here, done my first hyrox, entered different events and races that I never did before, all through Urban Reform. Work hard play hard

Fantastic experience: I joined Urban Reform on recommendation from a friend and have loved it ever since! I started my Hyrox journey at the start of 2024 and have been challenged, encouraged and so well supported in the gym, but importantly out of the gym too! Not to mention the coaches commitment and attendance at our events and competitions, it means the World. I’d highly recommend UR to anyone no matter where you are on your fitness journey!!

Fantastic experience: LOVE IT best gym in Manchester!!! The coaches are so helpful and supportive, and have really helped me progress through the Hyrox programme and even with my running outside of the gym, couldn’t thank them enough! UR is the best community and I’m so glad I’m apart of it ❤️❤️❤️

Fantastic experience: I couldn't recommend this gym enough! They have the best coaches, who always push you to do your best, also the atmosphere in the gym is really supportive! You won't go wrong by getting a membership at UR! You always look forward to your next visit!

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend this gym! I've just joined the gym, and the process was straightforward. The gym team has been welcoming. Great atmosphere, and I’ve noticed my fitness massively improving after a few weeks of joining.

Fantastic experience: Great gym - was looking for a gym in the city centre that combined strength and hybrid fitness - this is it! Love the hyrox classes in particular - great set up and great trainers

Fantastic experience: Urban reform is a proper facility. A very welcoming community, you’ll find people of all abilities and backgrounds supporting each other. The classes are very rewarding and constructed by proper performance coaches. The equipment and facility is tailored to push performance and results. It’s refreshing to find a gym with no egos from either coaches or punters. The community is very welcoming and people support each other. Especially outside the gym on Hyrox Race Days The Hyrox programme is very good. My running has massively improved as a result. Big up the coaches Mohammad , jack, GJ and Lewis & the owners Big Dean & Rik.

Fantastic experience: Literally the best gym!!!!!!!! The best coaches and the best community ❣️❣️❣️❣️you are surrounded by people who support and encourage you! Coaches always go above and beyond! 10/10 xxxxxxxx

Fantastic experience: Had a sports massage from coach Harris it was amazing he really knows what to do. Can really feel a huge difference as you walk out the gym.

Fantastic experience: In short, the best gym I've ever joined. Lucky to have it so close to home!

Fantastic experience: While waiting for my massage the staff were very attentive. The massage was painful but also relaxing provided by the warm and funny physiotherapist. Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: Love the group strength work outs.. a great option for those interested in regular PT contact but much much cheaper

Fantastic experience: Brilliant place!!

Fantastic experience: Friendly and professional gym that's works consistently to create a community. Highly recommend for both newbies and experts.

Fantastic experience: Could not ask for more from a gym! UR has absolutely nailed building a community up, with all sessions being accessible to a range of people, there is always something for everyone. The instructors are amazing, always looking to support you - not only with the exercises but I have seen how they will notice little changes in people and will reach out to see if there are any ways they can support. I honestly could not rate my experience at UR more highly.

Fantastic experience: I’ve gone to Urban Reform from another personal trainer I had for 4 years to try sombody new - Dean is Fantastic and has not only got me feeling and looking better but also managed to sort my back injury which used to put me out of action for 2 weeks roughly every 6weeks. The gym is fantastic and really clean.

Fantastic experience: 5 stars! Great gym. Amazing atmosphere and coaches are always there to motivate and encourage. Would highly recommend trying it out as you won't regret it.

Fantastic experience: Can't ask for more from a gym. Coaches are very professional and available ! All classes are full of positive vibes. If you wanna progress and enjoy, it's the best place in Manchetser. Fred

Fantastic experience: Amazing coaches that will help you reach your goals and targets you want to achieve. Very friendly environment with a variety of options in terms of classes. All classes are suited for everyone whether you are a beginner or someone who likes to push the boundaries to the max. Highly recommend if anyone is looking for a new gym.

Fantastic experience: Possibly the best gym in Manchester for function strength training. The classes are small, so you get much more support from the PTs around form than what you'd get in bigger classes. They focus on building a community and making you feel comfortable and welcome, rather than just being a number where nobody knows your name. It's the best thing I've done joining this place!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love training here done some much for my confidence and the coaches take their here time to perfect your technique! Would definitely recommend ❤️

Fantastic experience: The programme I conducted was transform. This programme changed my life in terms of how I looked at my weight. They have created a community where I am welcome and feel comfortable in the gym, which wasn’t the case before. High recommend this gym should you want to learn about nutrition and fitness! ♥️ A lot of love for the guys at UR.

Fantastic experience: Would definitely recommend! The transform programme and classes have worked wonders, helped me gain strength and lose so much weight. I feel so much better about myself now. Best environment in the gym, everyone is so friendly and fun!

Fantastic experience: Great gym, Dean has loads of knowledge to share and genuinely cares. Doesn’t rush in and out of sessions, will take the time to talk you through everything thoroughly to get you to where you want to be.

Fantastic experience: Really good class for strength , and trainers ensure your technique is correct !

Fantastic experience: One of the best sports massages I have had in years. Thank you Dean Ashton

Fantastic experience: Great session, great facility and friendly atmosphere

Fantastic experience: A great gym with great people! All of the trainers are full of knowledge and there for you with any help you need. A great vibe always! Made to feel welcome when I first walked in and have been everytime since. Some people are intimidated or scared to step foot in a gym but you definitely won't here!

Fantastic experience: What a gym! I've been here for 6 weeks and everyone from the trainers to the other members have made me feel really welcome. The classes are fantastic and you get great coaching in every session. I'd highly recommend anyone looking for new gym to give Urban Reform a try, you won't be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been with Urban Reform for 6 months. The new premises are impressive with far more equipment than any other gym in Manchester. The trainers are friendly knowledgeable and passionate in driving you to succeed in your goals. It’s a friendly non intimidating gym where you can get on with personal 121 training without queuing for equipment like in traditional gyms or if you prefer groups and classes these are all catered for. Nutritional advice is also key to success and that’s on offer as well if you want it. Simply the best option in Manchester now.

Fantastic experience: Rick and the team do their business in a professional manner with courtesy & respect to all.

Fantastic experience: I love coming to this gym such a welcoming vibe from the get go & a family vibe as soon as you start. I started with Marvin just after lockdown & he has completely changed my life- I am at the happiest & most confident point in my life with him to thank. Every session I feel stronger & fitter, with regular check ups, reviews, measurements & nutritional help along the way- couldn’t ask for more as a gym & a PT. Can’t wait to get back into the gym after this lockdown!

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym! Great atmosphere and Marvin is the best trainer

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym, Marvin is very professional and patient. I have been training with him for almost 3 months and he has made me fall in love with training and helped me become healthier and happier. I still have a long way to go but I trust Marvin 100% with my journey.

Fantastic experience: Ricky and Dean run a fantastic, friendly gym. Always make you feel welcome and get the results.

Fantastic experience: I started training with Luke from Urban Reform early last year. He’s the best trainer I’ve ever had in regards to knowledge and motivating me. All the lads are also really helpful and encouraging and the atmosphere is really friendly - I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Fantastic experience: Amazing place amazing people!!!!

Fantastic experience: Brilliant and friendly atmosphere, the team do a fantastic job and everybody is very welcoming.

Fantastic experience: Urban Reform is one of those businesses that make you feel at home. The professionalism and the family oriented vibe is what pushed me to come and be a part of the team. The work that the coaches put in to their own education and personal development is amazing to see. Also the desire to help one another grow is refreshing to see alot of places that I have seen has been very individual based and a vibe of "do things on your own with no extra support" not URBAN REFORM they work completely different and I love it. The Transformation group package just blows my mind. The amount of detail and planning that has gone into this is incredible I'm kinda jealous that I didn't have this support when started out on my fitness Journey. Anyway if you are looking for a place to completely transform your life I would 100% recommend Urban Reform extremely biased but also said with high honesty. Even if I wasn't a part of Urban Reform. I know what they are doing in order to help people improve :)

Fantastic experience: Great place! As soon as you walk in you are made to feel welcome and at home! No intimidating gym vibe here! You are met with great coaches who know their stuff! I would recommend Urban Reform if you want to smash your goals in a supportive fun environment!

Fantastic experience: UR is a great training facility with friendly and experienced PT’s. I would highly recommend this gym to new and established people who are looking to make both physical and mind health changes .

Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere built by the Pts very warm and welcoming. Excited to get back training with everyone.

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym! All the staff are so lovely and have helped me to become educated with fitness. I now have a new found love for working out! Couldn’t recommend more and amazing value for money. Go get yourself there and you won’t be disappointed!

Fantastic experience: The team at Urban Reform are the best bunch and you’ll feel like family. There are classes to suit different types of training and each instructor is a specialist in what they do. From classes, to PT sessions, to Transformation groups - they really provide. It is perfect if you want to up your training and knowledge and be surrounded by like minded people in a smaller/more personal setting. A very unique offering and the best in Manchester! If you’re looking for help with nutrition, discipline, want to mix up your workouts and make some new friends, it is definitely worth a shot! Dean and the team have encouraged me to go from complete beginner, to training and changing my lifestyle, to enjoying it so much I’m pursuing a course in fitness. Cannot thank them enough and will always be keeping them at the forefront of my workout routine!

Fantastic experience: Dean and the team made me feel comfortable from the start, and really pushed me to achieve my goals, could not be happier with the results, thanks again for starting me on my journey. Paul - Manchester

Fantastic experience: Been training with Urban Reform doing PT classes and boxing for 16 months now. Even though we have been through 2 lockdowns, support from coaches has been phenomenal whether via virtual and in gym training when we are allowed in. Cannot wait to get back in the gym even though virtual training has continued. Well done coaches and thank you

Fantastic experience: The best gym by far! The staff are all amazing, so encouraging, dedicated, hardworking and motivating & really help you reach your goals. The gym has a really friendly atmosphere, you feel part of a family. I really recommend the transformation programmes, such great value for money & really fun! The classes are brilliant too. I’ve learnt so much at Urban Reform, not just with training & nutrition but everything that’s involved in helping you reach your goals. My mindset has completely changed since joining, I feel much happier in myself not just physically but mentally too.

Fantastic experience: Dean and the team are great. I’m really happy with the results I have achieved through Urban Reform with Dean. People have even been complimenting me on the changes they’ve seen. I also really enjoy their classes every week, I’ve even made some new friends too! Looking forward to getting back once everything reopens!

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love the boxing class! I wished I’d started sooner. Marvin is great the classes are fun and the time flys! I have also done the kettlebell classes online throughout the lockdown period. A gym that genuinely cares about you!

Fantastic experience: After 4 years of little to no exercise and having no experience whatsoever in the gym I joined urban reform and was so apprehensive. After about 5 minutes of being there I felt at ease! All the team are so friendly welcoming and explain everything in detail. If your a beginner or an expert they really do look at you as an individual and cater for your own individual needs and goals Dean rick Tom carlton & marv are all amazing and have helped me in so many ways! Cant thank them all enough would recommend to everyone

Fantastic experience: 5 stars all the time!!!! UR transformation groups and classes are fantastic, if you're looking for something that little bit more exciting than the gym this is definitely for you! The coaches and people you train with are supportive, welcoming and encouraging, I couldn't ask for anything better. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Dean for the past 6 weeks (prior to covid) and every session has exceeded expectations! His experience and knowledge is something else, I’ve learnt so much about form & technique. From this I have also started attending other classes they host inc, Strength, Bootcamp and Yoga. Loved them all and can’t wait to continue my training. Overall UR is a quality company, run by great people

Fantastic experience: Great place to go with a great atmosphere; all of the coaches are friendly, motivating and push you to achieve your best. The classes are all suitable/adapted for a range of age and ability. Would definitely recommend Urban Reform!

Fantastic experience: I love urban reform, it's a great place to go if you don't like to exercise because it makes it so much fun and I have met the best people from there. There are so many options of different classes but the transformation programme is by far the best thing I ever did!

Fantastic experience: Great to be back after after a lock down break. Dean's concentrating on my weak spots (lower back & knees) Looking forward to strenghtening up enough to get back into running. Also been to the beginners boxing Class with Marv. A great class - always feel good after the hour session. A real fun workout. Would definately recommend these guys to anyone wanting to start a health programme - they support you all the way - even go through your diet & help with meal plans. Great work guys - Thank you
