This countryside health, fitness, and wellbeing retreat is so good, you could easily spend a whole day there – and we did!
Peak Health & Fitness in Ryehill, East Yorkshire, has everything you’d expect from a top-quality gym – and plenty more besides. It’s the vision of owners Mark Bowering and Paul Crouch, who both grew up in East Hull and have been passionate about fitness for over 30 years. Back in 2014, they transformed a former kitchen showroom into something the area was missing: a welcoming health club where people can truly improve their fitness and overall well-being.
We started our day in their spacious gym, packed with high-quality equipment including a brilliant range of machines, free weights, and even a full Hyrox training set-up – the latest global fitness trend. If you’re looking for support or want to take your training to the next level, expert personal trainers are also on hand to offer guidance.
There’s a state-of-the-art spin studio and a busy timetable of group sessions too, with everything from strength training to yoga classes in the large studio. I even gave yoga a go myself – though admittedly not quite as gracefully as the regulars.
Where Peak really stands out is in its recovery and wellbeing facilities. Outdoors, there’s a stunning terrace with a pool and hot tub, while indoors you’ll find a sauna, plunge pool, ice bath, and a second, larger hot tub. The wellness offering goes even further with massage and beauty treatments, red-light therapy, sunbeds, health checks, and even blood testing – making it a complete destination for looking after both body and mind.
After a busy day of training and relaxation, we refuelled with one of their delicious protein smoothies, perfect for recovery and a welcome energy boost.
If you’re looking for a place to improve your overall health, fitness, and wellbeing on the east side of the region – and at a great price – Peak Health & Fitness is a fantastic choice. Memberships start from just £36.99 a month with a 12-month contract.
