Roko York

1. Avoid winter weight gain - In the colder months it is so easy to turn to comfort food, because its so satisfying and it makes us feel good, well for a little anyway, and then we feel guilty. Its so easy to become a hibernating bear! No wonder it’s known as the ‘winter weight gain’ period. The average person puts on up to 4 kg! The only way to make up for those added treats is to increase the amount of exercise you’re doing. Try and balance your energy in and energy out the...n the shredding of clothes in spring wont be such a shock!
2. Keep warm - Save electricity and an expanding waistline by heating your body up naturally with a workout. The rise in your body temperature, during a work out, has a soothing, calming effect on your body, not unlike a long soak in a warm bath or lying in front of the heater.
3. Stay healthy - Research has shown time and again that regular exercise strengthens your immune system so it can fight off bacterial and viral infections. This becomes particularly important in winter when colds and flu rear their ugly heads.
4. Beat the winter blues - Whether it’s the usual winter blues or the more serious SAD (seasonal affective disorder) putting a gloom over the colder months. A daily workout releases feel-good, de-stress brain chemicals, gives you a break from the daily grind and helps ease depression.
5. Detox your lungs - being cooped up with nothing but your central heating to keep the air moving means fresh air is much harder to come by in winter! Exercising gives your lungs a chance to breathe more deeply detox.
6. Be social - Try a new group fitness class, or workout with your buddies. It's more fun, and increases your chances of reaching your goals. It's a great way to keep you motivated. Exercise with someone around the same fitness level as you so you can spur each other on.

The staff are friendly and very helpful, the customer service is excellent, and the facilities are brilliant. I have a baby, who loves coming for a swim, and a play in the childrens area. The baby pool and changing rooms are the best in york, they are always clean, and accommodate to every need from a travel cot to seats and changing area with safety harness'. There is something for everyone! I personally love the fitness classes and the cafe with plenty for children to do, including their own ipads and soft play area with toys. Excellent value for money, i look forward to coming everytime :)

The people (staff and members) at the gym are friendly and helpful regardless of size, fitness levels, experienced or novice. It is child friendly, which is great to allow parents to have a work out.

My chillin out place, great for ya workout, weights, swimming, cater for kids, can have ya hair nails done, sun beds, sauna steam room, and best if all great staff who don't make ya feel inferior, always a friendly welcime�

Love this place ! Been to quite a few gyms and I find this the best! With loads of equipment to carter for all and also kiddy friendly so I can take my daughter ! It also has very friendly and chatty staff too! And the people that go mostly are friendly as well ! I travel 40 min to get there ! ��������

It was brilliant, had fabulous work out, it was so good to be back.

I'm really enjoying my membership of the club..especially the pool and sauna etc.

I can see quite a bit of money has been spent recently and when some of the ageing cardio equipment has been replaced on the gym floor Roko will be unbeatable!

I moved here from a rival health club as it is a really friendly, family orientated club. Good facilities, multiples of most bits of kit so it's easy to get on stuff even at peak times. Really friendly approachable and knowledgable staff! I am really happy I switched here!

I love this gym, It is clean has loads of classes the staff are friendly and helpful always a smile, there is also nice cafe. I have been a member of various Gyms around the country this one without doubt is the best. I will miss it when I go to live in Cyprus, when and if I return to York I will definately join this gym again.

I have been a member for the past two months and find the staff really friendly and helpful. They are always willing to assist you when asked. The place is very clean but would like to see more staff on the gym floor to take the pressure off the member of staff who is there.

All in all I am glad I joined up.

Have been using this gym for years the staff are friendly it’s peaceful and has a wide range of ages and abilities so you don’t feel like you are been judge or watched which I know is an issue when u first start a gym .it only costs u 3 pints a week and gets you out of the house to miss them in law visits sign up today

Great gym that's why I've been going for years ... got me back to fitness after my bone marrow transplant .... staff are fab ... very friendly and supportive wouldn't go anywhere else !! Well done guys 😁

Calm atmosphere great staff ( supportive without being pushy ) facilities that are unrivalled in this price bracket



The people who go here seem nice and friendly too which can be important if you are new to the gym or feel self conscious



Thoroughly recommend it �

Best thing about Roko are the options. I can have a cardio day, weights day, book onto any of the classes (Body Balance is brilliant!), or have a swim/sauna day. A workout option for every mood! And all the facilities you need to achieve both short-term goals and long-term health and fitness. Changing rooms are always spotless too, which really matters to my OCD side. Love it!

The staff at York Roko are fantastic, sadly the maintenance of some of the gym equipment is lacking, but clearly the fault is not theirs. Unsafe electrical sockets broken on the floor and pads on equipment full of holes etc.

I don't blame the York team as they are great but Roko head office needs to get their act together or I'll be leaving.

The gym has recently had an equipment upgrade which is great. The fitness instructors are approachable and can have a laugh not to serious. The changing areas are cleaned regularly and the food area is an added bonus if you need a post workout shake or meal.

We were attending a private party. The venue (football room) is good for a small (60ish) party size.

The bar staff were friendly enough and happy to help throughout the evening but the beer tasted awful! Even after a barrel change, no different.

Plenty of car parking and easy to find

Nice pool, facilities and warm, helpful staff. I selected this gym due to the number of spin classes in the schedule (at the time this was the highest of any gym in York), but in the last few months these have nearly all been replaced or ditched. Not great. And this has to be the only gym that doesn't let you book classes online! It's 2015 people!

Very much a gym which is most certainly money orientated. More staff in reception and cafe than on the gym floor and the member of staff on the gym floor is very much based around the cardio equipment and not in the free weights area where injury is most likely to occur (surprised more injuries haven't occurred after observing the form of some member). Only plus point is the cleanliness of the gym!

My husband and I have cancelled our membership as they keep cancelling classes and now our favourite class has been moved so late that no one wants to go to it. They have been trying to cancel it for ages now, so can now say its down to lack of interest!!!



So what with all the timetable changes and now the pool is being taken over by kids we decided it was time to leave. Such a shame as it is so convenient for us.
