What’s inside
A proper gym, not a fitness studio
One huge open floor of strength, bodybuilding, free-weight and cardio equipment for members from Featherstone, Pontefract and the surrounding area — Hammer Strength, Life Fitness, Cybex and more.
Racks & Platforms
Squat racks, Smith machines and half racks so you’re never queuing to get your working sets in.
Cardio Suite
Treadmills, bikes, cross-trainers, rowers and stair climbers — warm up or make it the whole session.
Changing & Lockers
Clean changing rooms and lockers, kept on top of daily. Get changed, lock your stuff away and get on with it.
Free Parking
Off-road parking right outside the unit on Pretoria Street. No permits, no charges, no circling the block.
Advice On Tap
A knowledgeable team on the floor who’ll happily show you how a machine works. Personal training available.
The kit
Strength, free weights & bodybuilding equipment
Commercial-grade machines you’d normally only find in a city-centre chain gym — on a Featherstone membership price.
Plus leg extension, leg curl, chest press, shoulder press, lat pulldown, cable crossovers, pec deck, calf raise, ab machines, kettlebells, and a full cardio suite.
Seminars & guests
Lee Priest came here.
IFBB professional bodybuilder Lee Priest visited Bodyworks to host a seminar for our members — a full afternoon of training talk, questions and photos with one of the most recognisable names in the sport.
That kind of visit doesn’t usually land at an independent gym in a town this size. We think it says something about what’s been built here: proper equipment, a serious training culture, and members worth turning up for.

The story behind Bodyworks
Consistency is key.
Bodyworks first opened its doors back in 2003, and we’ve been growing ever since. In 2018 we relaunched as a family-run gym, and it’s been a steady journey from there; adding more equipment, improving the space, and shaping the gym around what our members actually need.
Today we’ve got over 100 pieces of equipment on the floor, covering everything from your first session to your heaviest lift. But it’s not just about the kit, it’s about building a gym with no judgement. Just honest training, straightforward pricing, and a team that genuinely cares.

Frequently asked questions
Is there parking at the gym?
Yes — there’s free off-road parking right outside the unit. The entrance is on Pretoria Street, just off Green Lane, opposite the Featherstone Hotel. No permits and no charges.
Where exactly is Bodyworks Gym in Featherstone?
We’re at Unit 2A Warwick House, Green Lane, Featherstone WF7 6EH. The entrance is on Pretoria Street, just off Green Lane, opposite the Featherstone Hotel.
Is Bodyworks suitable for complete beginners?
Absolutely. A big part of why we relaunched in 2018 was to build a gym with no judgement. If you’ve never set foot in a gym before, tell us on your first visit and someone will walk you round the equipment.
Can I pay for a single session or a day pass?
Yes, day passes are available at reception if you’re visiting the area or want to try the gym before committing. Give us a ring on 07507 781892 for the current rate.
How heavy do the dumbbells go?
We run a full rack that climbs well past what most gyms this size stock, alongside Olympic bars, plate storage and a dedicated lifting platform. Come and have a look — the free-weights area is the heart of the gym.
Are there squat racks and lifting platforms?
Yes — squat racks, half racks, Cybex Smith machines and a platform, so you’re not waiting around to get your working sets in.
Is personal training available?
Yes. We can put you in touch with a trainer who works out of the gym — just ask at reception or drop us a message on Facebook or Instagram.
Is it suitable for women and older members?
It is, and always has been. Our members range from teenagers to retirees, and the gym is used by as many women as men — including a dedicated glute and hip thrust area.
Can I look around before I join?
Of course. Call in during opening hours, no appointment needed. One of us will show you round and answer anything you want to ask.
