Big Box - Huddersfield

Been going to this gym for a while now and honestly it does the job. It’s a proper big box gym so you’ve got everything you need — loads of machines, a solid free weights area, and really convenient opening hours which work well for me. I’ve also tried a variety of classes, including yoga, and even been to a few of their evening events and sound bath sessions, which are a really nice touch and something a bit different. I also use the spa area regularly, and that’s definitely a highlight — perfect for unwinding after a workout. It can get lively at peak times, but that just shows it’s a popular place. Staff are friendly and always happy to help when needed. Changing rooms are generally clean and well kept. Overall, it’s a solid gym with plenty on offer and good value if you use it all.

Absolutely fabulous place!! Totally ignore the couple of ridiculous 1 star reviews. OK sometimes it's slightly difficult to find a parking space but to say you have to wait half an hour is absurd. Just circle a bit and you'll find one. It just shows what a popular place it is. Would be worse if loads of spaces mean no one is going to the gym. Staff are friendly and knowledgable and helpful. Great machines, always up to date. What I would ask is for soap to be available in the shower at the swimming pool with a notice demanding - not suggesting - that everyone should shower before entering the pool. Some people don't!! Yuk!! This is not a criticism of the gym, but of some members!!

It's great generally, clean, efficient and friendly. Staff are helpful and there are lots of class options for everyone. The biggest issues are with use of infra red sauna by people who want to use their phones! And the steam room by people who want to talk at length and loudly. These places should be quiet and relaxing...not like a busy cafe.

Bigbox is awesome. The swimming pool and sauna are very good. They even have an infra red sauna which is great for post swim/ workout repair. I have arthritis and have have attempted to very slowly build up my core muscles and health, taking 18 months. The brilliant biogym has helped too, which is a machine based weight training system. This has a computer system that sets the gym bar to the most comfortable position (for arthritis, you find a postion that works the muscles and not at the most grinding angles for the joints). The biogym increases weight by 1kg increments. I haven't been to the gym in over 15 years. So starting very light weights with the biogym meant a lot to me. The place is clean, with a cleaner continously working in the men's changing room. There is a friendly and social atmosphere at the gym, with people from all backgrounds and ages. The cafe makes good cooked food as well as coffees and sandwiches. The cafe also is a good place for remote workers after a gym session. Lots of plug sockets and space for laptops. The staff in the reception, gym, and cafe, are very welcoming, fix issues quickly, and are very efficient. Please note I come in off peak times, and find this works best for me in terms of waiting for gym machine use, finding parking, etc. A very good gym, and highly recommended.

I am incredibly satisfied with this gym. The facility is top-notch, especially the workout floor which is equipped with excellent, modern machines that make every session effective and smooth. ​But what truly sets this place apart is their wellness and recovery zone. The sauna and steam room are perfect for unwinding, and having a cold plunge and pool available is an absolute game-changer for muscle recovery and mental clarity. It’s the ultimate holistic experience for anyone who treats their body like a temple and cares about deep regeneration. Highly recommended!
