Five of the Best Gyms in Newcastle
Want to know the best gyms in Newcastle? Look no further than Hussle’s top picks.
The City of Newcastle Baths
The City of Newcastle Baths has the same high-end feel as a hotel gym. They have their own swimming pool, sauna, steam room, and more all available as additional options.
This is the gym many choose if they are looking for a luxury gym-going experience in Newcastle.
The highlight of this gym is the Turkish baths and spa that Hussle members enjoy additional access to, but the venue also has a wealth of other attractions as well as its first class spa.
The facilities at this gym are not quite as extensive as those a serious athlete might need but for the majority of us it is an amazing place to workout.
They have state of the art machines but none of the high tech digital fitness you would expect. They have weights but they don’t have that tailored gym floor that you can use for deadlifting.
The venue has a wealth of machines, including bikes and cross trainers, but this gym is aimed at the elites who just want to stay toned. You do have the free parking for the hotel though, and that lovely Turkish bath/spa experience.
The City Baths Newcastle is located on Northumberland Road, 0.32 Kilometres away from Haymarket bus and metro station. This gym’s opening hours are Monday – Friday from 7 am to 8:30 pm, then Saturday and Sunday from 8 am to 4 pm.
Bodyzone Fitness, Newcastle NE1
Bodyzone fitness is Newcastle’s largest privately owned fitness club and one which many locals recommend for the more serious athlete.
They have a ladies only gym, first, which is a big bonus for women who want to work out in a more comfortable environment.

LivingWell Newcastle, Gateshead
If you are willing to venture outside of town a little, or if you would much prefer to avoid the busy city centre, then the LivingWell Newcastle Gateshead gym should definitely be on your radar.
This gym is another high quality example as it is situated inside the Hilton hotel in Gateshead.
The bonus here is that you can use this gym if you are staying in town for a day or two, and that you get to use the free parking at the hotel.
Yet another bonus; for Hussle Monthly+ and Day Pass holders, is that their doors are open for you too!
The Living Well gym has its own dedicated personal trainers, and it has a crystal clear 15m swimming pool. The venue also boats immaculate sauna and a steam room facilities.
There’s a jacuzzi, too. We love the PRECOR resistance machines and the cardio machines here which can be tuned to any skill level.
LivingWell also has a free weights section with that enhanced gym floor and plenty of weight lifting areas for you to work out in.

There are resistance machines and they do have cardio equipment, but the theme here is no-frills bodybuilding and weight lifting. You can take advantage of in-house personal trainers too.
Opening hours for the Viking Gym in Newcastle are from Monday to Friday from 6 AM to 10 PM, and on Saturday and Sunday from 8 AM to 8 PM.
