THE January fitness drive is about to hit with every gym in Manchester jostling for your attention and membership fees.
The best gym is the one you keep going back to, month after month, without getting bored. Gorgeous facilities and high-tech equipment aren’t worth much if you have to drag yourself through the doors every time.
So decide what’ll keep you engaged once your January ‘new me’ energy has waned. Do you prefer to workout alone or would you rather share the pain with others at a class-based gym? Do you need to bribe yourself with the promise of a swim and sauna after your workout, or are you fine without, thanks.
Then think about how much you want to spend. There’s a huge gap between the cheapest gyms in Manchester and the most expensive, and a higher price doesn’t always mean a better experience. The Confidential Guides team have picks for the best Manchester gyms for 2025, ranging from boutique studios like Barry’s to cheaper options like King Street Gym which offer more than you might expect.
And if you don’t see what you’re looking for below, they have got plenty more recommendations on ConfidentialGuides.com. Just go to Fitness and use the filters to find what you want.
