The club · About Lake Y

A private members’ club by the water.

Lake Y is a private members’ club in South Yorkshire, built around an open-water lake and a community that believes in living well, together.

Set in open countryside, Lake Y brings movement, wellbeing, good food and time outdoors into one place. Somewhere to start the day with a swim, spend an afternoon by the water, meet friends for lunch, or stay until the sun goes down.

Membership is by application.

01 · Life at Lake Y

There’s no set way to spend a day here.

At the heart of the club is our private freshwater lake, surrounded by open space and a laid-back lakeside atmosphere. Open-water swimming, paddleboarding, padel, a dedicated run track, Station 1 outdoor training, Y-FIT, yoga, Pilates and The Sunken Sauna.

Some days are about movement. Others are about slowing down. Usually they’re a little of both.

02 · A club, not a facility

The kind of thing you arrive for and end up staying past.

Our calendar brings members together for golden-hour Summer Fridays, Full Moon Swims, floating yoga and Pilates, sound baths, live music and seasonal events.

At the centre of it is The Wheelhouse, our lakeside café serving seasonal salads, açai bowls, artisan sandwiches, flatbreads and sourdough pizzas, alongside expertly crafted coffee and a good drinks list.

03 · A club to make your own

Membership gives you the resort. The rest is up to you.

Activities are booked and paid for separately. There is one set of activity prices for members, guests and trial pass holders, except padel, where members get a discount.

Come for an early swim. Stay for lunch. Meet friends for padel. Take an evening sauna. Or simply find a spot by the lake and do very little at all.

Not ready to commit? Every prospective member is entitled to one Trial Day Pass, covering one person for one day, before applying.

04 · More to come

Lake Y is only getting started.

Plans are underway for a full fitness suite and lakeside lodges, giving members more reasons to stay, and to come back.

A gym is opening in early 2027. Details will follow with membership closer to the opening.
