Pete has been training since he was 14 & always had a keen interest in the gym. When he turned 18 he qualified as a PT & went on to work for DW for 12 months before heading to uni. Pete achieved a First Class degree in Sports & Exercise Science, and went on to complete a Masters in Exercise Physiology, gaining experience in physiological performance testing at Liverpool FC & Sheffield United FC. Since then, he has turned his focus towards Volt Gym.
Ali and his brother brought the idea of Volt to life in 2016. Ali has a passion for heath and fitness and enjoys helping members find the same passion.
For Ali the gym has always been an escape from the rest of the world and finds its main benefit attributes to mental health. His goals for the future are make sure Volt 2.0 is the best possible training facility he and Pete can possibly create.
Love this gym. Always get a friendly greeting on each visit. What I really love, is its a gym where if you want to socialise, pair up with someone, you can. Or if you’re like me, and just want to crack on, you’re left alone. All staff are superb, friendly, and most importantly, respectful. They’ll always take time to show you how stuff works, or to help you get through some reps. The members vary from people that are super fit, to those like me that go to keep the extra pounds showing. It’s just a great gym.
The team at Volt are brilliant, always willing to help, knowledgeable and always have a smile on their faces.. Karla is a breath of fresh air when it comes to the classes… Providing great advice on form and technique! Oh and Karla provides 1:1 sessions… If you think you know it all.. I promise you, she’ll either agree with you or provide brilliant guidance, advice and instruction. Guys, keep up the great work! Fantastic gym!
Been going for a few month’s now, equipment is up to date. Staff are really friendly from the time you enter you always get a hello and how you been and even when leaving they are always hands on saying goodbye or ask how your work out was, to me this adds to the experience. It’s very busy in the evening but everyone who works out there are friendly and won’t hog the machines. Prices seems fair to me. 28.99 a month for 12 month’s is pretty competitive considering everything they have inside.
My favourite gym in the north! Always a friendly welcome, fully stocked with the best Hammer Strength equipment and power lifting racks and the place is immaculately tidy always. Highly recommended.
