TWO North-East gyms have been shortlisted in a hunt to find the UK's best gym.

The Dolphin Centre gym, in Darlington and Total Fitness, in Stockton, have made it through to the final stages of the competition organised by fitness website payasugym.com

Jamie Ward, from the website, said: "Being shortlisted places the gyms in the top five per cent of gyms listed on the site.

"As the competition is based on real on-site member reviews to create the shortlist and real member votes as opposed to a judging panel, the nominees and soon-to-be-announced winners can be sure they really are the cream of the crop.”

The competition runs until Friday, December 5. Vote at payasugym.com/best-gym
