Can We Make It Back-to-Back? 6FIT Is a National Fitness Awards Finalist Again 🏆
Well… we’ve only gone and done it again.
6FITGYMS has been named a finalist for Best Gym in the North at the National Fitness Awards — for the THIRD year running.
And this one means a lot.
Last year, we were incredibly proud to bring the trophy home to Bradford and be crowned Regional Gym of the Year – North.
So now there’s one obvious question…
Can 6FIT defend the title and make it back-to-back?
We’ll soon find out.
But whatever happens on awards night, we’re bloody proud of what we’ve done since winning it.
Because the easiest thing after winning an award is to pat yourself on the back and think you’ve made it.
That’s not really how we do things at 6FIT.
We went the other way.
We won. Then we got back to work.
Our philosophy has always been pretty simple:
Listen to our members. Keep investing. Keep improving.
Good enough isn’t good enough.
So rather than treating winning Best Gym in the North as the finish line, we treated it as another reason to raise the bar.
Since winning, we’ve invested over £50,000 in additional equipment and improvements across 6FIT.
More kit.
Better facilities.
Better technology.
More support.
And a better overall member experience.
More equipment. Because our members actually use it.
We’ve continued adding to what was already one of the biggest and most varied equipment offerings around.
New machines. More training options. More capacity.
And we’re not buying equipment simply because it looks good on Instagram.
We’re investing in the areas our members actually use.
Our member research showed just how important strength and equipment are to the 6FIT community, with 84.4% using machine weights, 80.5% cardio equipment and 79.2% free weights.
So we keep investing in them.
Simple.
You asked for longer opening hours. We went 24/7.
This is probably the best example of what we’re about.
Members had previously told us they’d like longer opening hours.
So we listened.
And in 2026, 6FIT became a 24-hour gym.
Early shift?
Late shift?
Can’t sleep?
Want to train when the gym is quieter?
Crack on.
Your training now fits around your life rather than your life having to fit around the gym.
We’ve invested in the bits that aren’t as glamorous too
Not every improvement makes a sexy Instagram Reel.
But that doesn’t make it any less important.
We’ve refurbished the ladies’ showers, toilets and sauna areas, improving the everyday experience of actually using the club.
Because being a great gym isn’t only about having loads of equipment.
It’s the showers.
The toilets.
The sauna.
The cleanliness.
The service.
The little things you notice every single time you visit.
It all counts.
We’ve invested in helping members get RESULTS
This is probably the area we’re most excited about.
We don’t want 6FIT to become a gym where you simply scan through the door, train for an hour and disappear.
We’re continuing to build the support around the membership too.
We’ve introduced our professional InBody 570S body composition scanning, helping members properly understand and track changes in muscle, body fat and body composition.
We’ve introduced more comprehensive personalised diet plans.
We’ve continued developing our coaching and member support.
We’ve got our coaching app, training programmes, PT support and reviews.
Because equipment gives you somewhere to train.
Direction and support help you get somewhere.
Our own mission is to help people become stronger, fitter, healthier and happier through world-class coaching, outstanding facilities and a community that genuinely cares.
That’s the standard we’re chasing.
And we’re still listening
One of our favourite pieces of feedback from our member survey was ridiculously simple:
“We speak & you listen.”
That pretty much sums up what we’re trying to build.
We’re independent.
We’re not sitting in a head office hundreds of miles away deciding what Bradford members should want.
We’re here.
We train here.
We speak to members every day.
We read the reviews.
We read the surveys.
And when enough people tell us something could be better, we try to do something about it.
We won’t always get everything right.
But we’ll keep listening.
Three years running ❤️
Being shortlisted once is brilliant.
Doing it three years running feels pretty special.
Winning Best Gym in the North last year was something our whole team and community were incredibly proud of.
But 6FIT today is a better gym than the one that won that award.
That’s what makes this year’s final exciting.
£50,000+ further investment.
More equipment.
24-hour access.
Refurbished facilities.
InBody scanning.
Better nutrition support.
More coaching.
More member benefits.
And we’re still not finished.
So can Bradford’s 6FITGYMS be crowned Best Gym in the North for the second year running?
Who knows.
That’s for the judges to decide.
What we do know is that we’ll keep doing exactly what got us here in the first place:
Listen. Invest. Improve. Repeat.
Thank you to every single 6FIT member who has supported us, recommended us, left us a review, filled in a survey, told us when we’ve got something right — and told us when we haven’t.
You’re a massive part of why 6FIT keeps getting better.
Now let’s see if we can bring that trophy back to Bradford again. 🏆❤️
