Located just off Westfield Road in the heart of Retford, Club Energy Retford has become a long-standing hub for health, wellbeing and community spirit. The gym has been established for over 20 years, growing from a local fitness space into one of the town’s most welcoming and trusted facilities, known affectionately as ‘Retford’s friendliest gym’.
Club Energy has continued to evolve, expanding its facilities, refining its class offering, and developing specialised zones, including a fully equipped women’s-only area. This ensures every member feels supported and at ease. With a loyal membership base, a passionate team, and a strong commitment to the community, the gym remains a cornerstone of Retford’s fitness landscape, constantly adapting while staying true to its warm, inclusive ethos.
The gym is thoughtfully laid out across several zones: a main gym area, cardio and strength zones, a separate women’s-only section for those wanting extra privacy, and a large upstairs studio that hosts classes or can be used for floor workouts when classes aren’t running. Members also benefit from free parking directly outside the gym, which is a practical plus for anyone driving in. There is a sunbed room which is also accessible to non-members, too.
There is a vast range of classes available to take part in as a member, with over 30 classes taking place per week, with early-morning, mid-morning and evening slots available, ideal for busy schedules. Classes range from spin, pilates and yoga to body-bar workouts and more. For those who prefer one-on-one guidance, personal training is available from friendly, local trainers, who can help with meal planning, mobility, flexibility, sport-specific training, or general fitness goals. Many members appreciate this extra support to get started, stay motivated, or to tailor their training.
Club Energy’s membership is highly flexible, with no long-term contract, meaning you’re not locked in. As a welcome offer to new members, they provide a free 3-day pass so you can trial the gym and get a feel for it before committing. The gym will also soon be back to its 24/7 opening hours from 2nd January 2026 – perfect timing for anyone wanting to jump on those New Year’s fitness resolutions. Membership starts from £32.95 per person, with discounts available for NHS and council staff, students, over-60s, and former service personnel.
Beyond fitness, Club Energy has a strong community focus. They have long-standing, loyal members who’ve been with the gym for many years, and the business supports local schools by providing PE students with training sessions as part of their curriculum. They also regularly take part in charity fundraisers, particularly supporting mental-health causes and raising awareness locally.
If you’re thinking about making a positive change in 2026, whether it’s building strength, boosting fitness, or simply finding a welcoming community, Club Energy Retford could be the perfect place to start.
