Nuffield Health Cottingley Fitness & Wellbeing Gym - Bingley

I expect a premium experience given its high membership fee. Unfortunately, the reality is far from satisfactory.
The facility is poorly maintained. The weights are usually scattered haphazardly, making it difficult to find what I need. Cleanliness is another major issue—someone once defecated in the showers. Locker rooms are frequently untidy, with no showergel.
The membership fees keep increasing. I have had 2 increases in the last 12 months and my fee has increased almost 25%.

On a positive, most staff are polite and the swimming is quite on an evening

I have been a member at nuffield cottingley for about 18mths now. Unfortunately I have seen the same issues raised over that time without noticing any improvements. The building and equipment are not maintained to the high standard you would expect as a member. Since I have joined they have removed classes and have replaced some classes with personal trainers rather than the previous specialised trainers. Currently I am being informed daily, as I attend, of the changes coming up to my current choice of activities which as a member is very frustrating. Especially the removal of thai chi as I have no alternative and I am 1 year into my learning.

I Don’t know what happened to this gym.
But clearly they need new management, it has gone massively downhill this year. It’s dirty and not looked after

The pool needs to be monitored by people older than the lifeguards. People walk around without using the outside shoes covers . Nobody says anything. People standstil in the swimming area which is already narrow nobody says anything! People stand around chatting when people are trying to swim nobody says anything! Children launch floats across the pool nobody says anything! If you had lifeguards who are awake ! Who patrol and sort these problems I am sure we would all have a better experience.

It's ok. I recommend it to a oap who wants to keep fit. But for high tech equipment I'd join a different gym. It should be half the price tbh. It's not value for money.

Been going to this gym for the past twelve months, three days a week. It costs £57 (with a corporate discount).

The gym is living from the name Nuffield. If it was named anything else, no one would go.

I have many gripes and little time to write... but I have spoken to management on a number of occasions and nothing changes.

The clientele that go to this gym are rude and disgusting and the behaviour in the gym is toxic. It has been exasperated by letting school kids have memberships.

In the changing rooms there are people shaving their heads, balls and bits in the toilet. Blow drying their dirty feet with the hair dryer. In the gym it sounds like blue movie with the amount of grunting and moaning going on, people slamming weights everywhere. Nothing is put back where it goes. Large groups hogging equipment for their mates.

People park all over the place; on the grass, disabled bays or nursery spots, as long as they can park as close to the front door as possible.

In short, the clientele are filthy, arrogant sods and the staff have no interest in maintaining a positive gym environment.

It's ok, the facilities are nice enough, the gym is on the small side. Lovely pool with a sauna and steam room. Friendly staff and other users are generally nice. Excellent selection of classes. Cafe is basic.

For the price I would expect a lot more. They used to provide towels and had a hot tub. They no longer provide either of these. It seems the price goes up while they strip away services.

Great swimming pool, including the steam & sauna. Can’t say the same about the weights room, felt small and claustrophobic with only 6 people training. Cardio room was a little better. Other than that it was very clean and nice interior. Wouldn’t want to train here if it was busy though.
