Barbelle (Scarborough) Limited

Barbelle makes investing in my long-term health easy and enjoyable, without adding to my mental load - quite an achievement :) I've been at Barbelle for 10 months and I'm so glad I gave it a go. With young children and a busy job, I'm short on time and headspace, so being able to just turn up and enjoy a fun and efficient coach led session is perfect for me (and my husband, who's also joined). The strength sessions are small-group personal training which works brilliantly, and the cardio and conditioning ones are fun too. The coaches are great, there's a community feel and they organise special events and socials alongside the training. I hadn't really got back into fitness after having kids or done free weights before joining. I've really enjoyed building my confidence with strength training. The more I learn about women's health and longevity, the more I appreciate how important it is. It’s certainly not the cheapest way to join a gym, but you're getting something that I think is genuinely different. And as an added bonus, having Aldi right nearby means I’m doing more of my shopping there and saving a few pounds that way! I'd definitely recommend giving it a go. If you're short on time and headspace, I've found it makes fitting exercise into my routine so much easier!

I've been a member at Barbelle Scarborough for the last 8 years, and signing up was genuinely one of the best decisions I've ever made. What started as a way to get fitter quickly became my daily bit of "me time"—something I genuinely look forward to every day. The atmosphere is welcoming, supportive, and motivating, and the coaches are simply incredible. Their encouragement and belief in me have helped me achieve things I never thought I was capable of. Over the years I've signed up for and completed several endurance events and gym challenges that I would never have even considered before joining. Barbelle has given me so much more than fitness—it has built my confidence, resilience, and a real sense of community. If you're thinking about joining, don't hesitate. It could be one of the best decisions you ever make too.

Joining Barbelle is a decision you will not regret , Barbelle has been one of the best decisions I have made. The supportive atmosphere and encouragement from everyone make it easy to stay motivated and, most importantly, consistent. The training programs are always changing and challenging, but most importantly the coaches adapt to workouts around my many injuries. It’s clear that there’s genuine care for every member’s wellbeing, not just their fitness goals. What really sets Barbelle apart is the people. It’s more than just a place to train—there’s always a coach that’s willing to listen and offer support when life gets tough. That sense of community makes all the difference. If you’re looking for a gym that genuinely cares about your progress, your health, and you as a person, I couldn’t recommend it more highly.

I've been attending Barbell consistently for the last 4 years, and I genuinely couldn't imagine my week without it. The coaches are brilliant—extremely knowledgeable, supportive, and always pushing you to get the best out of yourself. The sessions are challenging, varied, and suitable for all fitness levels. It's a fantastic community to be part of, and I'd highly recommend it to anyone looking for expert coaching and a welcoming atmosphere.

As an over 65 year old, I have tried several keep fit classes and gyms over the years. One of my friends told me that she was going to try the Barbelle gym trial and I decided to join her, and it was the best thing for my health and wellbeing, so much so that after the trial I enrolled. In 2024 I had breast cancer and late 2025 I had skin cancer, both non life threatening as they were caught early and low grade. I am also a diabetic so need to keep an eye on blood sugar levels. Due to medication and age I also have low bone density. The coaches are all aware and always checking that I feel okay, but in a positive way. Every coach at Barbelle is truly wonderful , and not matter what type of exercise we are doing they are so supportive and can always offer an alternative exercise to ensure that I am still following the same regime, and make sure I am still reaching my goals. The coaches are always friendly and listen to what you are saying and offer support and motivation. The classes are well planned and everyone is so friendly and supportive. Each group is small with several coaches, you feel like you have your own personal trainer. The gym is well maintained and has all the equipment and weights that you well ever need. I absolutely love it and would highly recommend Barbelle to anyone who is feeling a little nervous about joining, you will not regret it.
