Steam Room Closure 03/07

3 July 2026

Due to a fault with the steam room alarm, it is currently closed to public use until further notice. We have no exact timeframe currently, however we appreciate your patience whilst we work to resolve this.

The rest of York Sport Village is open for use, including the rest of the Health Suite.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

New Fitness Class Attendance Policy – 1 July 2026

15 May 2026

We would like to inform customers that there will be some changes to our class attendance policy, effective from 1 July 2026. These changes are aimed at improving class attendance and reducing late cancellations following feedback from our members. 

The changes in the policy will mean that from Wednesday 1 July, failure to attend a class, collect a ticket, or cancel with less than 1 hours’ notice will result in a charge applied to your York Sport Hub account. The charge applied for a non-attendance will be £1 per occurrence, and will appear in your York Sport Hub debt section.

This charge is applied per instance and must be paid before any further class bookings can be made. The account will be unlocked upon receipt of payment, which can be made via the ‘My Debts’ section of your York Sport Hub online account, or at reception. 

This new policy is being uintroduced as a result of customer feedback, and is very much aimed at deterring late cancellations and non-attendance, preventing other members being able to book a space.
