Jetting To The Top, A New Gym For Leeds

A new 24-hour gym opens its doors in Leeds and brings Hyrox and Pilates to the centre with new classes and events to mark the new business

On a crisp January morning, the doors of Jetts swung open in Leeds and a steady stream of trainers, commuters and curious first timers stepped inside. Some arrived in gym gear, ready to test the equipment. Others came just to look around, drawn by the promise of something new in the city’s ever-evolving fitness scene. By mid morning, the hum of treadmills and the rhythmic thud of weights had already begun to shape the space into more than just a gym, it felt like a community in motion.

Jetts, the international fitness brand known for its accessible, round-the-clock training spaces, has chosen Leeds for its latest UK opening. The location adds a fresh option for locals and visitors alike who want to stay active while exploring the city. Positioned as both a neighbourhood hub and a lifestyle destination, the new site blends high-energy training zones with quieter corners for recovery and focus.

The gym’s layout reflects the way people train now: varied, social and often guided by trends that merge fitness with wellbeing. A dedicated Pilates area offers classes designed to strengthen and stabilise, while a Hyrox training zone caters to the growing number of athletes and amateurs embracing hybrid fitness challenges that mix endurance with strength. The combination gives Jetts a wide appeal, from seasoned competitors to those simply looking to move more in 2026.

On opening week, staff moved between tours and training sessions, introducing visitors to the equipment and explaining how the space will evolve. The emphasis, they say, is on creating a welcoming environment rather than an intimidating one. Bright lighting, open floor plans and clearly marked zones make it easy to navigate, even for first time gym goers.

“What sets our gym apart is that we have more of the range kit including hoist, we have a dedicated Hyrox section and Pilates studio,” said Leeds club general manager. “Leeds has long been a city where fitness and culture intersect.”

From canal-side runs to boutique studios tucked between cafés and galleries, the city has woven fitness into daily life. The arrival of Jetts adds another layer to that landscape, especially for travellers who want a reliable place to train while visiting.

Its central location and flexible membership options position it as a convenient stop for people in town for work, study or a weekend break.

To celebrate the launch, Jetts is also running a competition to win a free membership, a move that has already sparked buzz across social media. Entrants can sign up in person or online, and the prize offers more than just access to equipment. It’s a chance to become part of a new fitness community as it takes shape from the ground up.

During the opening weekend, a mix of regular gym goers and curious newcomers filtered through the doors. Some came straight from nearby offices, still in workwear. Others arrived with friends, treating the visit like a social outing. Staff members offered guided demonstrations in the Hyrox zone, where sled pushes and functional circuits drew a crowd, while the Pilates studio hosted short introductory sessions for anyone keen to try out a slower, more controlled workout.

“We have 24-hour access to the facilities and car park, you can also access any Jetts around the country with membership.”

For many, the appeal lies in the balance. High intensity training sits alongside recovery-focused sessions, creating a space where people can push themselves one day and reset the next. The flexibility mirrors the modern city lifestyle, where schedules shift and routines adapt.

Whether someone is in Leeds for a few days or a few years, the gym aims to offer a sense of continuity, a familiar place to start the morning or wind down in the evening.

As winter gives way to spring, the team expects membership to grow and the space to fill with regular faces. Classes will expand, community events are planned and the competition winner will soon be announced. For now, the focus remains on the simple act of opening the doors and welcoming people in.

In a city known for its creativity and energy, Jetts arrives not just as a place to work out, but as a place to connect. Between the steady rhythm of Pilates sessions and the adrenaline of Hyrox training, it offers snapshots of how fitness is evolving, less about solitary workouts and more about shared experiences. For Leeds, it’s another great reason to relocate to one of the best places to live in the UK.
