York Sport Centre

Visited as a member of a group taking part in VI tennis, very clean,good lighting and felt safe, bonus is a cafe close by with a good self tion of food and drinks hot and cold.

Good facilities but the staff are unhelpful and rude. We were recently overcharged for a family swim and when challenged were stonewalled by the desk staff. After further investigation also found out that we have been overcharged for months on previous swims despite us asking direct questions about prices with concessions.The children's pool is also closed far too often with poor information on the website leading to many a wasted journey and a very disappointed 6-year-old.

A summary of how I feel about this gym after frequently attending for the past 6 months.The good: Lots of equipment for olympic lifting and powerlifting. Platforms and high quality eleiko barbells. No doubt they cost a fortune and I appreciate the gym for putting in the funds. There's a water cooler too at the very least.The Bad: Unfortunately, suffers from the problem of not having any mirrors in the weight lifting area. I understand that one should know how to do the exercises before attempting to do a squat or deadlift but it helps if there were mirrors by which one could check their forms with.Staff are sometimes disinterested with their jobs. This first time I tried signing up, I didn't feel welcomed into the gym and it felt like I was just a nuisance. I go with my gut feeling a lot and so far, I haven't been particularly happy with how things are run here.I also don't get why they have some sort of dislike towards gym bags brought into the gym. I keep my fatgrips jump rope and elastic bands in them and it seems stupid to ban these things in the gym. Am I supposed to grow another set of arms so I can carry everything without a bag? Management is clueless on how to carry its job.All in all, its great if your focus is on powerlifting and olympic weighlifting, but if your goals are just to maintain fitness, you're better off probably at Swift Fitness York or Ebor Fitness. And they don't cost as much and are open for more days in the year than this Sport Centre.You know what, as of today I'm joining swift fitness. Waste of my time being here in this gym

Play wheelchair rugby in the gym here, loads of parking, great facilities where the staff are really nice

The place has all you need to test yourself while working out. It is neat, and well equipped. If you are a York student and liking training with weights or resistance bands, you'll be truly excited of being here.

Parking is pricey and no obvious option for reduced payment if using the the venue but venue appears clean and tidy. Only went bro the sports arena which is a great sized space with lots of different courts.

Can only really comment on the Squash courts, but they are great. Good temperature, consistent bounce across the court and reasonable pricing. Has the ability to Pay and Play but also offers leagues and opportunities for friendlies.Friendly staff in the centre and the whole place is a generally nice atmosphere.Parking in site is private (and so you have to pay if not a club member) but is free after 6pm.Lots of other facilities on the same site and twinned with the York Sports Village down the road offering reciprocal discounts.

Was a member here for years and ended up complaining at central management of university level because of how rude and unhelpful some of the staff were. Toxic atmosphere at reception. This is some time ago and I hope it’s changed. I did like the devices and doing workouts there though.

NB this venue has NO SWIMMING POOL. That is at the other campus, at York Sport Village.(I only called in briefly as Google search wrongly sent me here for the swimming pool)

Aside from the militant geese, this is a splendid facility and good place to participate in and watch athletics.
