Return to York …

I bought a medicine ball that was too heavy for me, Matej was so helpful in helping me return it, it is helpful that it could be collected the next day , rather than me going to Post Office, I have bought many items from York the quality is 2nd to none, I will buy more weights in time , but if I do get it wrong I know there wont be any issues, Matej is a real asset to York Fitness

Replacement Locking Pins

I didn't know what the part was called for the Club Weights machine. Having contacted York. They asked if I could provide photos of the equipment and part needed. On providing the photos I got a response almost right away. It says they do not post to N.I. however they did and the cost was very reasonable. Many thanks to Majet..

York Barbell HT9 treadmill…

Ordered the York Barbell HT9 treadmill which does exactly as it says on the tin. Nothing fancy about it but it’s sturdy, very comfortable to use and a great bit of kit for any home gym.

Delivery took a little longer than expected but this was more down to the delivery company rather than York themselves and where we live. After a quick phone call, they sorted it out and it was delivered within a couple of days at most.
We had a small issue with one of the fixings but their after service was excellent to say the least. I dealt with an extremely polite, professional and very helpful member of staff and was given a partial refund, more than was needed, to put things right.
We’ve been using the treadmill for a few weeks now and we’re more than happy with it as it meets all our needs and more.

I would absolutely recommend this company to anyone looking for quality equipment with an affordable price tag!

Thank you to York and team!

Partially delivered, fully resolved

Initially I had an issue placing the order. I wanted to check the finance options available, not realising I couldn't check until the order was placed. I contacted the support team and was able to cancel this order and place the order paying up front.

Upon receiving my order via DHL the delivery driver made me aware that there were two packages still to come. I contacted York Fitness notifying them of this and they also confirmed via the tracking that it looks like it was only partially delivered. I was advised to give it 2-3 working days and DHL would return.

7 working days later still no sign of the missing packages. I called DHL and they claimed to have no record of them at all contradicting the delivery driver on the initial delivery. I then forwarded this information onto York Fitness who offered to send out replacements for the missing items, instead I opted for a refund.

I'm not sure whether the items were not sent or if DHL lost them and tried to say they never had them in the first place. Either way the York Fitness sales team were apologetic and easy to deal with.

Overall I'm really happy with the barbell and weight plates that did arrive and would do business with them in the future.

I understand that there can be issues with couriers, but if you were able to find a way to be more pro-active in notifying customers when issues or delays arise I think it would build more trust with your customers.

Bought complete set of weight training equipment. The price was way lower than any other websites and York are a well know manufacturer. It all arrived on time and the quality was the same as you might see at high ends gyms. I’m very happy and on my way to getting myself fitter in 2025. Thank you.

I would give York Fitness 10 stars if I could. Their Customer Support team have gone the extra mile for me. I have an exercise bike just out of warranty and I had a problem with a handlebar bracket. No questions asked they immediately replaced the full stem free of charge and it was with me in less than two days. Amazing service. Thank you.

5 Stars for York Fitness!

I give York Fitness 5 stars for their after-care service. I recently purchased equipment from them, but had to report a couple of minor faults I encountered, which they totally resolved for me by sending-out replacements. Nothing but praise for their swift actions to help me enjoy their products.

Poor Service / No Response

Just got a response after second attempt and updated Trust Pilot review, so I have updated.

I would recommend updating website if help email address is not valid and replace with Sales email if this is correct?

Best regards

Following the response below, I have emailed the address given last night and I await a reply, so I have updated this review to detail.

Best regards

I have contacted York recently together with a number of other companies asking if they could advise on how I could obtain a pedal for an elliptical trainer.

All the other companies responded advising to contact York, which I had done. Today I have still not obtained an acknowledgement and they are dealing with it or simple response stating they can or not provide a spare.

I feel this is poor service and I would certainly question whether to purchase their equipment again!!!

Reliable company

I'm happy to recommend York Fitness, My first rowing machine from them lasted 11 years so it was a no-brainer to order its replacement from the same company. That arrived quickly, was assembled easily and is now running smoothly, hopefully for another 11 years!

Workout Tower

I purchased a workout tower and there was a faulty part - I contacted York Fitness for advice and they sent out a whole new tower as they didn’t have a spare part. I was not expecting them to send the full kit out at all. The customer service, delivery and the quality of the equipment were exemplary aside from the minor faulty piece.

Excellent customer service

Having lost my adaptor during a house move, I contacted York Fitness to enquire about purchasing a replacement. After a couple of emails and not many more minutes, I'd purchased what I needed and was a very happy customer! Super speedy and efficient customer service - hugely appreciated:)
