FOSS FIT

Fantastic experience: The 6 week group sessions are excellent value for money and good if you haven't been exercising for a while or feeling nervous about starting to exercise again. The group trainers at Foss Fit are all fun, approachable and knowledgeable and the welcoming atmosphere makes this a great gym to come to. We have felt encouraged and not judged on ability having not exercised for some time. The 6 week group sessions are definitely hard and make you sweat a lot (as you would expect) but they are so so motivating because the trainers are fun and other gym members in the group makes for a fab atmosphere and motivating team spirit. Thanks guys at team Foss Fit :)

Fantastic experience: I started on the foundation programme 6 weeks ago to kick start my fitness and improve my mindset. To say my expectations have been blown out the water is an understatement. I feel fitter, stronger and more resilient both physically and mentally. The whole team are great from a technical and motivational perspective at the same time as pushing you to challenge yourself. Thanks Fossfit - Sid

Fantastic experience: I have recently enrolled in the 6 week foundation programme (group training) at Foss Fit and can’t fault it at all. The gym is modern, clean and inviting. The staff are professional, yet fun, motivating and are clearly incredibly knowledgeable regarding fitness and nutrition. They are very good at tailoring the sessions to meet the needs of all / individuals and make everyone feel welcome. And the same can be said for the members - friendly, fun, approachable and motivating. Would highly recommend to all. Thanks all.

Fantastic experience: I came to the 6-week foundation course after a long stretch of a very sedentary life. Even though I still huff and puff and I grumble at the instructors, I love it. Everyone in the group has been super supportive and I’ve done the unimaginable - I have signed up for three more months.

Fantastic experience: 'Foss Fit' is a very special place and in the last 8 weeks of joining I have received a warm welcome and so much encouragement to reach my goals. This has helped me to achieve great results. Chris leads the gym with excellent professionalism and I have learnt so much re: nutrition and fuelling my body with the right things. I have also learnt about working out in the right way to avoid injury. He really cares and there is a personal feel at 'Foss Fit' that I have never experienced before from gyms in London and in York. It really is a positive lifestyle package that you get under his leadership. Together Chris and Paul are a great team who compliment each other. Paul has a warm fun spirit that is needed when the going gets tough! He helps to make 'Foss Fit' have that 'fun family feel' to it which we all need in these challenging times. All their staff are so friendly and warm and Emily and Jamie are fantastic personal trainers providing excellent support. Looking forward to a fitter version of me in 2022 thanks to 'Foss Fit'❤

Fantastic experience: Positive: Quality I’ve been a member of foss fit since it first opened in 2018 and have always enjoyed it. Chris and Paul are always there with a friendly face and eager to answer any questions or help with fitness goals. I love the range of classes and equipment. Lovely friendly atmosphere :)

Fantastic experience: I started on the 6 week Foundation program as I felt I needed to do something and haven't regretted it for one second. The staff are friendly and professional. The sessions are tough but good, I can already feel the results and my fitness levels have risen. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to get fit or lose weight in a non judgemental environment.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of FossFit since 2018, and I can confidently say than it is difficult to find a gym that gives you a sense of community from both its members and owners. High-hygiene standards and cleanliness at the gym is always maintained, it is ‘fresh’. Chris and Paul are always there for you to offer help and guidance. I’m extremely glad to be part of this fabulous community.

Fantastic experience: I joined Fossfit Jan 2020 hoping to move more but I was a little hesitant as I wasn’t a gym person, I always felt a bit intimidated by the machines and not knowing where to start, what to do… Fossfit definitely was the best choice for me because they have the perfect subscription for my early days and now I feel very different on how I approach my workouts with or without a Personal Trainer, who by the way is brilliant, is always attentive and give me advice and correct my form whenever I need to. Fossfit is a small independent business, they have created a safe and healthy space to work out making some good friends on the way to a better self. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Well were do l start with Foss Fit it’s a boutique gym that is perfect for all ages. With us being in our 60s we decided to have one to one PT with Paul. He is always pushing us and every session is different. All the staff are super welcoming and always happy to help. It’s a clean and modern gym suitable for all ages.

Fantastic experience: This is a great gym with a really friendly, welcoming vibe. I've met some great people here as well as getting fitter. Paul and Chris and the rest of the team have created a great space and atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym with a really friendly atmosphere. The PT I work with has given me some real drive and I started seeing results in a relatively short period. Would highly recommend!!!!

Fantastic experience: Paul has been consistent with his support and training, I have a few health issues, but have only missed 3 sessions as Paul always caters to this. Each Wednesday at 2pm there are new and exciting routines to try and I am never bored with any of the exercises set by Paul. We share a love of Clubland tunes and every appointment has songs in the background whilst lifting weights, cardio and pull ups! I never imagined I would ever be able to do a push up but with Paul’s guidance and support these have been added to the exercises that are included, I have had two previous PT’s but neither were right for me due to unrealistic goals and miscommunication, Paul makes sure I am in the gym each week and books future sessions at the end of every PT class, thus is reassuring and positive for me, I have noticed such a change in my self confidence and mental well being since starting, I attended the gyms monthly pub quiz! By myself! This is something I never would have done before! I am very thankful for Paul’s Personal Training

Fantastic experience: This is by far the best gym in York. My fitness has progressed massively since joining, with the help of classes such as Metcon and HIIT. This gym has made it easy to stay consistent because everyone is friendly and welcoming, and I have met many friends here. Highly recommend if you are looking for a gym in York!

Fantastic experience: A great gym with plenty of equipment and classes to suit all requirements. I attended the beginner course, then developed to the formal classes. Was welcomed by all the coaches and encouraged to develop. It’s also got a friendly and social clientele that keep the place enjoyable!

Fantastic experience: Foss Fit is no ordinary gym it’s a community. This gym has completely changed my life, from meeting so many new friends to making me stronger and fitter. It’s run by Chris and Paul who are amazing and inspirational. If anyone wants to meet new friends and get fit you must join Foss Fit.

Fantastic experience: More than a gym, Foss Fit is a community. Excellent equipment, friendly helpful staff and awesome members! Come down and have a look, you won’t regret it!

Fantastic experience: This gym is the best, look no further and join! Lovely space, great equipment and brilliant classes. I have never been a gym goer and the thought of joining a gym filled me with dread. It just was not for me, exercising in front of people and being aware of my fitness levels not being any where near as high as everyone else’s, no thanks. But I signed up to a 4 week fitcamp in March 2019, I was so nervous and so unfit. I didn’t imagine that I would love it as much as I did. I’ve now done a year of fitcamps.( that’s how good it is) The staff are all amazing and supportive and push you to do your very best. I have made great friends along the way too. I am fitter than I’ve ever been and stronger , both physically and mentally. I love fossfit so much and I would recommend it to everyone, whether you’re a pro fitness lover or an absolute beginner. The support you’ll receive is second to none and everyone you’ll meet is an absolute diamond. The support during lockdown has been my rock, offering online classes every day to keep you fit and mentally stable! Would not be able to face the day without my fossfit family. Thank you xxx

Fantastic experience: Foss Fit is a great gym, I love the community feel. It’s certainly the longest my “new me” fitness routine has lasted!!

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym and community. Love this place. Fantastic members. Would highly recommend. ❤️

Fantastic experience: It might sound a bit cheesy, but this gym has had a big impact on my life since joining. Met new friends here, climbed the national three peaks with them, and got fit here, of course. The staff are all great, and it's just a great atmosphere, not intimidating like some gyms can feel.

Fantastic experience: I've never been a member of gym before as always felt overwhelmed walking in and not having a clue what to do with any of the machines! I used to do a lot of HIIT home workouts which were ok but sometimes I was missing the motivation and I wanted to start meeting more people in York....enter Foss Fit! As soon as I stepped in it immediately felt different to all other gyms I had looked around. It had such a friendly atmosphere and the instructors looked so involved with everyone. Where other gyms can be quite soulless with endless rows of machines, Foss Fit has a family feel and you know you can ask for help/advice from anyone staff or members if you're not sure on any of the equipment. I go more for the classes which are so energetic and the instructors keep you motivated throughout the whole session. Everyone has their own levels and you're never made to feel like you're not good enough. Would highly recommend just coming to take a look and seeing how unique it is!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Great gym great equipment freindly and chilled atmosphere, great classes, always clean, no ego driven weight dropping individuals, more fitness and strenght and conditioning which I much prefere! Would recommend to anyone who want to get fitter and generally feeling better about them selfs.

Fantastic experience: I recently joined FossFit and wished I’d done it sooner. The staff are really friendly and welcoming and the overall gym is maintained to a high standard. The atmosphere in the gym is perfect, it’s light, airy which is nice change from windowless gyms I’ve been at before. The equipment is also exceptionally clean and modern. I love the ability to log into machines to track progress and record workouts. Thanks to FossFit I’m looking forward to my workouts again!

Fantastic experience: Extremely friendly gym. The staff always welcome you and the members are friendly too. The place is very clean. The equipment is very good quality

Fantastic experience: From minute zero, the support and motivation from the team make you feel like one of that great family. It's been a short time, but the atmosphere is really incredible, with a great variety of equipment and classes where you can exercise all parts of your body. Very recommendable.

Fantastic experience: Lovely peaceful gym, state of the art equipment and every member of staff that works with is helpful, professional nothing is too much for them and it's evident they strive to help their clients and care about everyone's journey! The changing rooms are amazing with a modern twist and even hairdrying and straightening equipment too which is great for heading off to work after your workout. The classes are easy to book and they even have an onsight sports therapist who is equally as professional, helpful and fantastic at what he does!! I'm so proud to be a part of a great community like foss fit

Fantastic experience: The best gym and community in York by far! I joined Foss Fit in October having cancelled a membership at a well known national gym chain earlier in the year. As a young woman I was looking to get back into fitness but in a more welcoming gym environment I would feel comfortable in. As soon as I walked into Foss Fit I knew I'd found that place! Chris, Paul & the team are all so welcoming and really made me feel like part of the Foss Fit family from day 1. Since joining I've been having regular PT sessions with Chris which have been invaluable for helping me understand how to get the most out of my time in the Gym. I couldn't believe the results I started to see after only a couple of weeks. I've also participated in nearly all of the classes now. There are such a wide variety available throughout the day so there really is something for everyone from Spin to HIIT to Jessica's Bella Glutes class! Plenty to keep your exercise routine feeling fun and varied. Also just a quick mention of how safe I felt at Foss Fit from a Covid secure perspective for anyone anxious about that side of things - the machines are all spaced out and all equipment is sanitised after each use. I honestly feel so much safer at Foss Fit then most other places! During Lockdown Chris & Paul have worked hard to keep all the members motivated with live online classes every day, even hosting a weekly Games night which has been great fun and kept us all connected during these times when we can't meet up with our friends and family. So if you're looking to take charge of your health & fitness and join a welcoming gym where there are no egos, make some new friends and be part of an amazing supportive community I couldn't recommend Foss Fit enough - it's so much more than just another gym. Try it you won't regret it!

Fantastic experience: I'm proud to be a member of this unique, independent gym . When I first walked through the door I knew that this was the gym for me. I'd had a period of ill health before joining so I bought some PT sessions to help me regain my strength and confidence, they listened to me and we jointly came up with a training plan. I now feel much stronger and can't wait for the next PT session. The classes are varied, hard work but fun at the same time. During the lockdowns Chris, Paul and team have provided online classes, PT sessions and even quiz nights. I returned to the gym inbetween lockdowns and I felt really safe as the equipment was spaced properly and each member collected a sanitiser bottle on entry. You can also see how many members are in the gym via the app before you set off, I prefer to go later in the evening. I've just joined the fat loss group trial, I'll be learning how to manage my diet using macros and how to balance my carbs, fat & protein. I'm not just a member of a gym I'm a member of the Foss Fit family.

Fantastic experience: I'm not normally a gym person but this gym has really worked for me. Chris and the staff go above and beyond to support the members in their fitness journey. Throughout lockdown the extra work the team have gone to to support members has been incredible. The gym has a real sense of community with social events and members who work hard to encourage one another. It's the first gym that I've been a part of where I've felt that everyone is legitimately cheering me on rather than judging my progress. I can't recommend this place highly enough. If you want to work on your strength and health, join Foss Fit. It is brilliant.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of several Gyms but have never been to one where you are made to feel part of the family. The guys here are brilliant - and I would recommend FossFit to anybody looking for a great GYM.

Fantastic experience: My husband and I recently moved to York and knew we wanted to join a gym. We really liked the look of Foss Fit. The website said they were laid-back, social and somewhere women in particular could feel comfortable working out. All true. We had a tour of the gym and we’re really impressed with the kit and the great variety of classes. We signed up for the year and have been coming 2-3 times a week since. We have tried a few classes and do personal training sessions with Paul (for me) and Chris (for my husband) as well as our own workouts. Everyone is friendly and welcoming - it’s truly a place where you can have a laugh and get your sweat on. Couldn’t recommend it highly enough.

Fantastic experience: Great gym. Great bunch of people. Been training with Paul there for about 4 months now. All equipment is clean, top quality, good weight range and great classes. I’ve always been able to park there with no worries either which is a bonus. Also love the monthly challenges, they’re optional but it feels much more like a community than just a gym to go to.

Fantastic experience: I was nervous about joining a gym but post Covid I needed to really sort out my fitness goals. Gyms usually fill me with anxiety but after a great chat with the guys at foss fit I joined up with a membership package that included some personal training. I can honestly say it’s been such a good decision for me. The staff are friendly, the kit is clean, high quality and there’s enough that you’re not waiting to workout. All the other members have been so encouraging and friendly you can see why people love to come along. I would totally recommend this to people looking to feel supported in their health journey and can highly recommend the personal training package. Without Paul giving me great guidance during sessions and helping me plan my other days I would never have been able to feel so at home in the gym. Im so thankful for that! I’ve also LOVED the spin class which is handily during my work lunch break. It’s so good! If you’re looking for a top quality, friendly gym with great classes and fantastic team then go to Foss Fit, you won’t regret it!

Fantastic experience: Super gym. Excellent machines and free weights. Very friendly gym, and the staff are great and approachable. The classes are also very good. Everything premium except the price which is reasonable. If you're looking to join a gym close to the city centre, give this one a go.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member of gyms all over the country and this is by far the friendliest environment to exercise in! The staff are brilliant and welcoming. There’s no egos in the gym and no juice monkeys either. Even if you’re a bit lax on getting to the gym, the membership is worth it just for the members socials! There’s machines and equipment to suit everyone. Plenty of classes, too. I highly recommend getting down and having a look!

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff, excellent facilities, reasonable price. It's a beautiful place for beginners, also suitable for any other level. They are doing a lot of online fitness meetings recently, providing professional advice to keeping us motivated at home during the lockdown. It might be the best gym in York.

Fantastic experience: At Foss Fit you’re not just another number, you’re a valued member. I struggled with anxiety about going to a gym, and that’s been abolished by the amazing team and atmosphere at Foss Fit. Everyone is so welcoming, encouraging and friendly - This really is a community gym. All the staff are SUPER friendly and always willing to give their time to chat or help you our. During lockdown the support from the gym has been amazing, my weekly PT sessions are still going ahead, online classes are still available and support from a PT is there at a click of a button. Social events are still happening online too! There is also the opportunity to join a Facebook group to engage with other members. Foss Fit has great facilities and a range of equipment available. This gym is really like no other. If you’re looking for a non-overcrowded, friendly & welcoming gym; then look no further.

Fantastic experience: I have a background of eating disorder recovery so was looking for a safe space to return to exercise and this exactly what I found. The gym itself is lovely, super hygienic and plenty of room. The trainers are so friendly and work really hard to make sure the gym is a welcoming space for everyone no matter where you are in your fitness journey. I cannot recommend this gym enough, particularly if you are just getting started. 10/10!

Fantastic experience: Even though I’ve only been a member of this gym for just less than a year, it’s become such an important part of my life in so many ways! It has a completely different atmosphere to gyms I’ve been to before, everyone is friendly, welcoming and the place is full of team spirit. You’re encouraged to try classes, try all the equipment, and as a female it’s nice to not feel intimidated when you head towards the weights section. They constantly listen to their members feedback and create a community feel which is nice to be a part of. At the start of lockdown I was struggling with the idea of not being able to go to the gym as it’s not just a physical thing for me, it’s also so important for my personal mental health..... but Chris and the team at FossFit have gone above and beyond with their lockdown class schedule, introducing new classes, arranging them so they fit into your working day (if you’re still working!) and organise a weekly quiz night which has definitely become a highlight of my week, I’ve managed to make so many new friends which makes a huge difference to your motivation levels, especially when you’re trying to get to an early morning class! In a small space of time there’s been lots of changes, but it’s just made the place bigger and better. And l really hope it continues to grow and develop as these guys absolutely deserve every success in the world.

Fantastic experience: In my opinion, this is the best gym in York. It is really conveniently located, just a few minutes walk from the city centre. The equipment is the best I have come across and the staff are always really helpful and friendly. The app that keeps track of your workouts and that you can book classes on is really easy to use. The classes are great fun with amazing instructors. Can't wait for it to reopen and I hope everyone continues to support this independent business.

Fantastic experience: If I was asked 18months ago what my hobbies were and I would have never mentioned the gym. For me the gym was always something I wanted to get involved in, I wanted to enjoy but I never had the passion for it. Since joining Foss Fit, I have discovered enjoyment in fitness, having PT sessions and fitcamp has allowed me to hit targets I dreamt of, enjoying gym nights out and challenges has also given me a new friendship group. It is much than just a cooperate gym. Thank you to the team who have developed a gym that I feel confident to go to- I couldn't recommend it enough!

Fantastic experience: I love Foss Fit! It's such a friendly gym, and everyone is made to feel welcome here. They have a really good mix of equipment and classes including hot spin, which is a personal fave. Thanks to my PT Oli, I'm starting to focus on getting fit and strong in my forties, something I never thought would happen!

Fantastic experience: Whilst not a completely regular gym-goer, what keeps me coming back to this place is the friendly atmosphere, great staff and great customers. Throughout lockdown especially, Chris and the team have put on a full virtual schedule of classes and been busy making the gym ready for our return. As soon as we entered lockdown they were ready to host social events, online classes and more to keep motivation up! The gym itself has great quality machinery, and the PT package is well worth it. Great gym and for me the best I've been a member of in York.

Fantastic experience: I love this gym! I've been a member since January and couldn't recommend it enough! The staff are super friendly, approachable, and are really there to push you through your goals. It's modern too with great technology to sync equipment to your phone - making seeing progress and knowing what your plan is easily accessible and attainable. I LOVE the classes! As a dancer I'm obsessed with the dance classes they have going on there (great teachers) but also they have a range of other great classes too plus a heated studio which has the advantage of hot classes (I just finished a hot yoga class!). I'm currently doing a month of 'fit camp' which I'd highly recommend. On week 3 I'm feeling stronger, more empowered and have made some wonderful friends along the way who are equally supportive. Yes, the early start is rough (for me) but worth it for the results. They also do social events which I'm yet to participate in. Gutted to be missing the 3 peaks challenge due to work, but hope to do one in the future (again great if you enjoy being social too). Also the little things... I love the fab smelling hand wash and the sweat towels they provide. Plus ladies - they have GHD hairdryers and straighteners!!

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of Fitness Space York for around 6 months and love it. The atmosphere is like no other gym I’ve ever been to. The staff are friendly, approachable and knowledgeable, and they push you so much during classes / PT sessions. I actually enjoy going to the gym now and cannot get enough of the classes! Thank you for everything you guys have done for me the past 6 months. (Also there’s free fresh towels to use and a coffee machine)..

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym, with great clean facilities. Staff are super friendly and easy to chat to. I’ve been having PT sessions for a while now and look forward to going to them. Equipment is fab and I’ve not seen better in any gyms in York. Great choice of classes which also include Yoga (and hot) and Dance with amazing teachers. So easy to make friends here and definitely lives up to its name of non intimidating. There are even little extra touches like GHD hair dryers and straighteners in the changing rooms and Cowshed products. Overall really happy with this gym.

Fantastic experience: I started Fitness in June 2018 and have never regretted the decision since. The variety of classes, up to date technology and the ability to track your own progress through the app and composition machine makes Fitness Space one of the most sophisticated, yet fun gyms out there. The team are welcoming and friendly and always up for a chat (even when pushing you to do your best). I'm on the studio membership and have 1 PT session a month but purchased more in February to gain that extra push for achieving my goals. This is a 100% recommendation from myself to attend, the people, the equipment and the range of what you can achieve make this a no brainer.

Fantastic experience: Great Gym! . If you prefer to just get your head down and train then this is a great place to do so. Modern equipment for all kinds of training. Big car park, cycle racks and a bus stops outside make it easy to get to. If you need any help the staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Go for a trial and you won't be disappointed!
