Community warning

We’ve received a number of negative reviews for some local gyms — particularly Energy Mill Gym and a few others — citing hygiene issues, poorly maintained equipment and questionable value.

Gyms near Saltaire – quick answers

Is there a full gym inside Saltaire village?

No – there isn't a large commercial gym in the village grid itself. Most people use Nuffield Health Shipley or travel into Leeds for bigger 24/7 options like PureGym.

Can I get a day pass instead of a membership?

Nuffield and many city gyms offer day passes via apps like Hussle or direct purchase. Check links on each listing – it's usually cheaper than locking into a long contract if you're new to the area.

Which gyms are best for swimming or spa facilities?

Nuffield Health Shipley is the main local option with a pool, sauna and steam room. PureGym-style sites focus on floor space and classes rather than spa facilities.

Are there women-only or quieter training times?

Some clubs run women-only sessions or dedicated studio classes. Early mornings, late evenings and mid-afternoons are typically quieter than straight after work – always check the current timetable before visiting.
