Sound familiar?

Joined gyms before
and got nowhere?

You don't need more motivation. You need a plan, and people who notice when you don't turn up.

No more guessing

Every member gets a training programme from day one in the Gym Companion app, so you always know what to do next.

No more training alone

Coached classes of 10–15 people. Your coach knows your name, your level, and when you’ve not been in.

No more feeling out of place

No ego, no judgement. Most of our members started as complete beginners.

Who you'll train with

Meet Ryan & Callum.

We opened Ultimate Shred in Pontefract in 2022 because we wanted a gym where beginners get coached, not left to wander. Three coaches: Ryan, Callum and Neil.

“I never really stuck to gyms — always did it for a week or 2 then sacked it off. Ultimate Shred is completely different. 4 months in and I love it. Great people, all the facilities you need, and they cater for everyone.”
— Liam Green
“Absolute first class setup. The knowledge and professionalism of the staff is second to none. No matter your level of fitness, the guys here have you covered — from complete first timers to athletes.”

“Top quality gym and boxing gym! Staff are brilliant and have time for people of all abilities. Couldn't recommend more — no matter your goal: boxing, functional fitness or body building, it's great for all.”

“Incredible place. Went in after I agreed to do a charity boxing event and instantly felt welcomed by everyone there. What started as just a place to train for an event has become a place I love going weekly.”
— Hedley Conway
