Just a suggestion - a fly machine would be a great addition to the gym, one that you can adjust to do chest flies and rear delt flies, thank you

I've been a member of Your Space Pontefract for over 10 years now and can't say enough good things about it. Such a friendly, welcoming place with fantastic, knowledgeable staff. There's a great range of equipment and classes to suit anyone, and the instructors always make sure you are working out safely and effectively. If you're new to using a gym, this is a great place to start: the instructors will show you around and introduce you to all the equipment, work with you to decide on your goals and, unlike some other gyms, give you regular reviews to check your progress and keep you motivated. I've been to quite a few gyms over the years and Your Space is the best experience I've had by far.

I was in the area for work and found this gym.A good free entrance for first time use.The gym itself was lacking slightly I felt.Dimly lit as well with a strange smell.It looked like there were separate studios for classes. There were some good techno gym spin bikes I found.But the overall gym looked like it could have a spruce up and some new equipment and plates added

The staff are very lovely and friendly and the gym is decent, but its overcrowded. My main issue is that there's a million random machines no one ever uses, but only one bench and only two squat racks.

Good place to train everything you need friendly staff if you don't like busy gyms avoid it at 5.30/7.30pm. Well worth the membership

Would be 5 star cos of the some of the staff there very friendly and so helpful but don’t challenge some of the behaviours of the people there.I would say female friendly but scratch that - lately some of the people that come In there / they want to attract no good ie the men sit on some of the equipment pieces they aren’t using but won’t let anyone else use it, take the equipment your are using and walk off with it cos you’re a female and if challenged they just talk down to you … and they get away with it cos gym don’t enforce the etiquette there … if not that, they literally will Stand over your head and tap their watch at you and “You gonna be long attitude” instead of being courteous and ask nicely, or give space n go something else for 5 mins or so and come back (especially if you were on an equipment or or space first and using it). Yep couple of narcissistic guys like that like the one big brown bearded bloke dressed in blue short n vest - rugby player wanna be…. Seen him talk down to another female today - “like how long ya gonna be!?” - AS LONG AS SHE NEEDS TO BE D***. If it’s not that then there are some who literally go out of their way to have a good gawp at some of the unsuspecting females there! Yep seen it! One actually walks past a girl old enuff to be his daughter - twice and tilts his head soo far over he is literally staring up her crack… few have noticed him and would say looks like he stroking out! It’s one thing to glance but I’ve actually seen him move his positions especially in the functional space room to get better view of the women! Do they actually not notice they make it obvious! Some literally watch the girls bend over near the weights area to see into their work out tops! When I say look he may as well be sitting in their lap the way he moved closer!Not generalising ! because 80/90% of the blokes are legends are proper gents, even Cas tigers are ace to have there… they have etiquette and very helpful like the other clients there. The older ladies lovely and warm and get on well with eachother n blokes. Such a friendly vibe. They aren’t posers, they are serious trainers and always there to help. Shame the minority let everyone else down. They need to be aware loitering/ hovering over someone whose Training is damn right rude & the impact it has on some who feel uncomfortable with it….they don’t own the gym. Why should everyone else rush their routine cos you can’t be patient.Some of the equipment is over due for a revamp & maybe some more additions to the gym like hack squat machine. Not enough squat racks, steppers, machines for legs and treadmills. When it was fitness first it was well equipped. Deffo not enuff cable machines or big thick mats. One guy likes to take two for himself - one for him and the other for his mobile phone. Bring your own mat atleast they’ll be cleaner!During Covid everyone was kicked out every 30 mins so that people can disinfect the whole place and yet they allow people to walk around barefoot over surfaces people use and not wiping them down after. No wonder the recent article in times states people catchin more stuff cos of poor hygiene of some! In your own home fine but not in a public gym. Oh & stop hogging lockers! Many treat lockers as if it were their own and padlock it 365 days a year Leaving it out of use 4 others. Gym staff are aware and shud be emptying them but they don’t; claim they don’t have time but they are there behind desk for hours not doing anything. They used to check these lockers but now don’t. Few entitled ladies & gents thereNot to mention get some sort dress code in place. No one wants to see your lady bits falling out of tops or tops that only cover the nipples or garments that literally are so small they may as well as be a floss! We Come to train and not see arse cracks / vags or nips hangin out. Guys don’t go topless or are mostly contained within their garments so why should the women get away with it. Not to mention the hygiene when they use cables and they end up flossing the barely covered nether regions!!! 🤮

This was my first time in the gym, I usually train at home. My wife is gym vet so i based this review mainly on her opinion.+ lots of different equipment+ friendly atmosphere and nice changing rooms- a little bit too crowded

Great gym, I've visited most in the area and this hands down is the best. Has a relaxation area with sauna and steamroom for post-workout. I understand its a not for profit organisation, as a result all of the equipment is top-class. I even got a free PT session as part of my membership. I had the pleasure of being shown some circuit training at my request from Connor, a great bloke, extremely friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. All of the staff have been nothing but welcoming and polite since I signed up. Couldn't ask for more from a gym. Thanks guys for all of your hard work!!

I tried a couple other gyms and this is by far the best one for the different types of machines and classes they offer. I'm not an avid gym goer and don't find it too intimidating doing things alone or in a class. The staff are also cheery and welcoming.

Most of the staff are generally friendly and helpful and the place is usually very clean. I find that it gets busy on certain days and you have to plan around those. Forget Monday and probably Tuesday evenings and its not too bad. The atmosphere isn't great IMO and its hard to pinpoint why that is.Overall I would say its better than most with only more staff training required to bring it where it could be.

Great sized gym. Every free weight and machine you could ask for.Including full changing rooms with sauna and steam room.If you download the app ‘hustle’ you can purchase a 1 month membership for just over 30£ and under. No commitment , no hassle.I use this gym every time I’m hone from working abroad. Ideal membership options👍

This is an excellent gym. People actually seem to know what they're doing which is always a bonus, staff are nice and it has a good selection of equipment. Also the times I've been have never been too busy and there is enough equipment for availability, no standing around waiting.

Credit where it is due. I have mildly criticised this gym in the past. But the refurbishments and new equipment have turned 'Your Space' into a first class fitness location. Proud to be a member. Well done to all involved in the transformation
