York is amazing. It has The Shambles, Cliffords Tower, York Minster, the River Ouse, the City Walls – to name just a few of the many attractions. York is reportedly the most haunted city in the world…. and strength training gyms in York are some of the best in the country!
So as a little celebration of all things York…. let us take a dive into some of the best strength training gyms in York. In fact, consider this your official list of the best five strength training gyms in York!
There is one caveat here. Although it would be pretty hard to disagree with any of the below gyms being placed in the top five strength training gyms in York – I am not going to make any attempt to rank these five gyms in order. Each of the gyms mentioned excel in their own individual ways. As such, I have created five different categories of strength training gym. Each of the below mentioned gyms is the no.1 gym in York for their respective category.
Best Personal Training Gym in York
A clear winner here is Egerton’s Garage Gym, York (The EGG).
Egerton’s Garage Gym is the only gym in York that is a truly private personal training gym. It is the headquarters for Foxwood Personal Training and no other personal trainers operate out of The EGG – which means you receive a genuinely private personal training experience.
Egerton’s Garage Gym contains both indoor and outdoor training areas. It is specifically kitted out as a strength training performance gym. The EGG boasts an extensive range of equipment from world leading equipment companies. These include Eleiko, Rogue, Watson, Hammer Strength, Wolverson and more. Egerton’s Garage Gym is the best equipped private personal training gym in Yorkshire.
So, if you are looking for a Personal Trainer or strength training gym in York, then Egerton’s Garage Gym is the place to go.
Best BodyBuilding Gym in York
Another clear winner here is UltraFlex Gym, York.
UltraFlex is immense. It is a huge gym. UltraFlex is full of outstanding equipment. It is a Mecca for competitive bodybuilders, and there are some absolute Goliaths that train at UltraFlex.
Best Gym in York for General Strength Training
Ebor Fitness takes the win here.
Ebor Fitness is the only gym in York (and one of only a few gyms in the country) that is an Official Hammer Strength Training Centre. This accolade speaks for itself. Ebor Fitness is also owned by former Mr Universe, Stuart Garrington. A number of successful strength athletes also train at Ebor Fitness.
Best CrossFit Gym in York
If you want to train specifically in CrossFit and you are in York. Dominus is really your only option. This is its niche, and it does it very well. It does branch into other areas as well, such as Strongman – but there are other gyms in York that perhaps outperform in this area. However, for Crossfit – it is absolutely the undisputed no.1 gym in York.
Best Strength Training Gym in York
LR Strength Shed is technically a little outside York. The gym is between Harrogate and York – but it is close enough to York to be on the list.
Luke Richardson is the owner of LR Strength Shed. He is a former Europes Strongest Man and a competitor in Worlds Strongest Man. LR Strength Shed is a Strongman and Powerlifting gym. So, if you are training at an elite level for either Strongman or Powerlfiting, then this is the no.1 gym in York for you.
So there you have it – the five best gyms in York.
