Customers frequently mention that the fitness equipment and heavy weights are of exceptional quality, robustly built, and designed to last for years of intensive home workouts. People also warmly praise the incredibly fast response times from the customer support team, who readily send out prompt replacements when minor product issues arise.

Download of a R700 user manual

Provided with access to a download of a user manual to an R700 rowing machine. not much use unfortunately as it didn't show what I needed - diagram of how the pull cord should be fed through rollers. But the fact a download of the working of old machines was provided at all is refreshing :)

Just been dealing with York Fitness and can’t fault them. Bought an exercise bike but didn’t suit me and they let me return it, which they didn’t have to. In particular I dealt with Matej who always responded to me and can’t thank him enough. Excellent service.

Thank you Matej

Requested help from Matej RE buying some J Hooks/ Barbell Racks for my 540 bench as the website had the potential ones out of stock, and no picture to confirm.

In a couple of emails Matej had asked me to confirm the serial number of my bench (with a picture example) and once confirmed sent me the direct links to the product - which I bought. They arrived in 2 days and fit great.

Thanks again :)

I recently needed a spare part for my rower, but was disappointed to find that the company did not usually ship to Northern Ireland. However, when I contacted their customer service team, they quickly reassured me and made an exception to ship the part to my location. I'm incredibly grateful for their willingness to accommodate my needs.
I highly recommend this company not only for their high-quality products but also for their exceptional customer service.

Incredibly helpful customer service…

Helped me fix up an old model cross trainer via email, would never have been able to use it again properly were it not for their patient assistance. They responded really promptly to my enquiry as well.

Rowing Machine 10 years Old: Not Even Basic Spare Parts

I have a rowing Machine over 10 years old and I cannot even get replacement seat wheels. they do not stock them and have no suggestions, so in theory, the whole machine goes in the skip.
I can see on the net there are plenty of alternatives: bearings and wheels are third party items and are all over the internet. It won't be going in the skip, no thanks to York's abysmal Spares Back up. Beware when buying from them.

Reply from York Fitness UK

Thank you for taking the time to make this review, we are sorry this is how you feel. Unfortunately, the model of your machine has been discontinued for 15 years. We are unable to supply the part required as the item is not longer available with the factory.
Thank you

Good quality & customer service

Very high quality equipment and the customer service is first class. Unfortunately DHL ruined delivery (as per normal) but York customer service was on hand to help (shoutout to Matej), they were great at issuing replacements/refunds and very apologetic!

I love this upright exercise bike

I love this upright exercise bike. It compact and is easy to move around (wheels at one end). Using it for regaining fitness and muscle following a tibial plateau fracture. Great customer service and super quick delivery. Highly recommend this exercise bike and company.
