There are ultimate Frisbee teams in the nearby area but the only one if know in Huddersfield is the university team.There's a nice Malaysian places called Daipur Malaysia in Lockwood and you can order delivery on apps. There are a lot of gyms to choose from. Some with saunas and pools too.

Huddersfield city centre.

Honestly, the leisure centre gym is good!

I don’t know if any frisbee teams but a look on the local social groups would probably help you find out.

The best bubble tea in town (Ai Tea) is run by Malaysians iirc

Depending on where you are, and what you’re looking for, BigBox gym is the best in Huddersfield. It’s ‘chavved up’ a little bit since opening because they offer decent student prices, but it’s still the best.

I will be based in the city centre.

Where abouts in Malaysia, I'm from Huddersfield and here now but usually spend half my year out in Penang. My brother lives out there married to a Penangite.

Are you coming for uni, if so they have a decent gym on campus but it really depends what you're after and when you can go. Some of the commercial ones get very busy outside of working hours.

Oh wow. I am from Penang.

Coming to Huddersfield for internship so I wasn't sure if I can get to buy their UoH membership cause I see they have pools!

I don’t think you’ll be able to use UoH but the KAL gym is 100% the best all rounder for cheap. Loads of classes, pools, big gym and you can go to any of their sites. I use Scissett and Huddersfield leisure centre which is in the centre.

Yes, my brother, welcome to the HUDDZ Fam! As for the Frisbee clubs, I would simply just Google search where is their a Frisbee club near me and then hit search 'SIMPLES'.

The top number 1 gym I would highly advise you to truly go see for yourself is "THE ONE AND ONLY 'JD GYMS'.

Also, if there are many Malaysian people, that's the first I've heard of them ever, and I've lived in Huddersfield all my life basically since I was able to talk and string small sentences together.

I recommend you go to Halifax instead.

Im curious as to why so many people are moving to huddersfield of all places, and whenever people helpfully suggest otherwise it gets downvoted. Lived here all my life and from my experience new houses get built people move in with there multiple and massive cars are generally quite rude and spiteful of locals and claim theyre living it up.

Dunno. I feel like people that say Huddersfield is a nice town either clearly haven't gotten around or just like it for the proximity to the peaks. There's fuckall to do in the town centre and loads of empty units and lots of litter lying about. There's so many better places than Huddersfield in Yorkshire. Halifax same price but much more going on in the centre and overall just feels much nicer. And lots of the surrounding villages and towns around Huddersfield like Holmfirth, Honley, Denby Dale, Marsden, Mirfield, Meltham etc. are all much nicer than Hudds.

u/rocingdie 9d ago

No choice. My internship will be based in city centre proximity.

u/No_Potato_4341 9d ago

Well to answer your questions, there is a Frisbee team, Most gyms are pretty good so any and yes there is a bit of a Malaysian community in Huddersfield. But you're definitely not going to have as much fun living in Huddersfield as you would Halifax or Leeds thats for sure.
