Fantastic experience: At risk of sounding like an M&S advert, this isn't just any gym; This is the Explosive Fitness gym. If you're looking for somewhere to spend a day running on treadmills to justify that pack of biscuits you snaffled at lunch, this isn't it. This isn't the place where you're going to sit watching tv as you exercise-bike your way through to feeling slightly less guilty about the cheeky t-way you had on friday night. Explosive Fitness is about building a positive relationship with both food and exercise. I hated (hate hate hated) my experience with other gyms. I joined a number of chains but they didn't work for me. (If they work for you, then that's great!!). I'd stick it out for a month or two but then I'd lose motivation or I'd stop trying as hard or I'd just skip 'this one session'. I needed something with some options for structure, but all the classes at those gyms were at inconvenient times, or they were overcrowded and not all that focused on the people in them. At times it felt like I might as well have been watching a workout video on Youtube. Daz's ethos is positive and encouraging. It's talking through - at length - individuals' dietary and exercise needs and tailoring things to them. It's putting together different classes to keep things interesting and taking stock of each member's progress so he knows who needs pushing further or harder. You get it easier on your first few sessions but once you know what you're doing he's there to support and push you. You've got access to varying degrees of equipment and whether you're a beginner or advanced, you'll be shown the ropes on it all (Literally, with the battle ropes). Daz is ever expanding and developing the gym in accordance with the needs of the members, which is something you'll never get in a chain - that kind of attention to detail. EF is about results and so many of their members have seen them with some remarkable changes in short periods of time. More importantly those changes are sustainable, and the way the gym is run makes you want to keep coming back. Joining Explosive is like joining a community and while it'll take you a time to feel used to it, once you're there, you're in a room of people who've all started at square one once upon a time too and they're willing to support, help and keep motivating you too. Even if you're not sure right now if this is a commitment you can make, they offer a trial session so you can see all this for yourself. Make the call, could be the best call you make.

Fantastic experience: Favourite gym I've ever been to. I've been to many gyms over the years, from leisure centres to huge chains like pure gym. Previously, one of my favourite places to exercise was my weekly kettlebell class and I was looking for something similar when I moved to Leeds. My boyfriend and I moved to Leeds not knowing anyone, and wanted to join somewhere similar to cross fit, but cross fit was too expensive. Explosive fit has the same HIIT, weights, bodyweight style activity as cross fit but is half the price. Not only is this a place to come and exercise but I have learned a lot about nutrition too. Thanks to Daz and the other members of the gym, it is also a fun place to come to. I don't feel I have to drag myself to the gym, because I look forward to the energy at explosive fit. If you're looking for something different and fun to lose a few pounds, lift heavy or make new friends while getting fit, I'd recommend giving explosive fit a try :-)

Fantastic experience: More thank just a gym you get advice on nutrition and so much support from Daz and other members. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: If you want to feel like you’re off to see your mates for an hour for a good laugh then this is the place you need. Hidden away on the top floor of an old mill is Explosive Fit - an awesome gym where you use your own body to workout rather than boring machines. Circuits, kettlebells, weights, calisthenics. Everyone actually speaks to each other - our FitFam is awesome inside and outside of Explosive Fit. You leave after every session feeling awesome. Turn up, take Daz’s advice, work hard and you’ll get your results.

Fantastic experience: Great circuit class!

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym, Darren is one of the best PT’s. It has a real family feel. Everyone is there to push you on. The classes are brilliant and you never get the same exercises. Monkey bars, sledge hammer, prowler & burpees etc. He makes it competitive and fun. Now for the best part, gyms don’t usually operate like this but Darren constantly speaks to members looking at their diets and their exercise and tailoring what they need to do achieve the goals they want. He’s nutrition knowledge is awesome and will help you realise you need to eat more, but more of the right food.

Fantastic experience: I hadn't been to a gym in decades but was looking to get back to a fit and healthy lifestyle. If you're like me and are looking for results, you can't go wrong with Explosive Fit, great advice and a very friendly environment. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Explosive fit is a really friendly gym. I have been going for just over 6 months now and have really improve my lifestyle and managed to loose 2 stone... Big thanks to Daz who is always there to help!

Fantastic experience: Quality gym whether you want to go to the classes or build strength and muscle. I've been here 10 months now and got into the best shape I've been for the last 3 years. You gain brilliant dietary and nutrition knowledge from Daz. #fitfam

Fantastic experience: Been a long time friend of Darren for over 7 years now. He not only had trained me but also helped me find my passion for health and fitness and got me my first job in a gym which led to me changing my lifestyle for the better. He has always given top quality training and Explosive Fit is the perfect place to come and see that for yourself first hand!

Fantastic experience: Can not recommend highly enough. Really friendly gym. Darren makes training fun and is always there to offer advise, support and motivation.
