Sean Armstrong Fitness

Fantastic experience: My first session at Sean Armstrong Fitness, I was very nervous at first as never been to a gym etc before, but it was so much better than I expected, the instructors were great, it was fun and the other members were really friendly and I learnt that they were all there for the same reason as me, to get fit and look after my self thank you Sean highly recommended joining Sharon ️‍♂️

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Sean Armstrong Fitness training. The staff are highly qualified, friendly and attentive. They gave me the confidence to lift much heavier weights than I would normally. After 4 weeks I felt stronger and for once felt I was shown the correct technique which I lacked on going to the gym by myself.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to SEA for about 7 months now and honestly, I can’t recommend it enough. The progress I’ve made in that time has been amazing. I’ve been going to Sean Armstrong fitness for about 7 months now and I can’t recommend it enough. I’ve seen amazing progress in myself in the time and the change has been remarkable. I am diagnosed ADHD and always found it tough to stay consistent with the gym due to an “all or nothing” mindset, and getting overwhelmed trying to plan workouts. That’s where the format of SEA works perfectly for me. The small, trainer led sessions essentially function as body doubling and keep me accountable and turning up every week. Having the workouts set for different days helps stop me being overwhelmed with planning, and I’m actively learning more every week about what goes into an effective workout session. The trainers are fantastic: supportive, non-judgemental, and genuinely attentive to individual needs. They adjust exercises based on what works best for you, and their focus on consistency really helps drive long-term results. I strained a muscle strain at one point, normally I would have stopped going to the gym whilst it healed and then probably struggled to get going again. Instead I was encouraged to keep attending sessions, and I’m glad I did. I was able to exercise around the injury, anything that caused pain, was adapted by the trainers to something I could do. I have also seen back pain that I was regularly getting disappear near completely after starting training. Facilities are also top notch, the place is really well equipped and the approach of everyone to tidiness and cleanliness is great. Being featured on the instagram stories is a great little bonus, and it’s nice to have videos of my progress. They have special t-shirts as well for 250&500 sessions and these have given a nice long term goal to keep working towards.

Fantastic experience: The coaches are welcoming and friendly. They consider you personally and work around what you are able to do. I was concerned that it might not be for me because I am not fit and have had a knee injury and have early onset arthritis but I was completely wrong. Within a short period of time I have improved my strength and noticed improvements in the way I move. I feel supported by the coaches and am very happy with the progress that I have made so far. I can't wait to see and feel the next improvements!

Fantastic experience: Joined SAF just over a year and I’m still here. The coaches are absolutely brilliant. They ensure that you do the exercises correctly, and at the same time keep encouraging you to push yourself. If I was going to a gym on my own I would never have achieved what I have at this gym. Yes, it’s not the cheapest, but I do feel you get what you pay for, great trainers, clean well equipped gym, a safe environment and also a great bunch of people who are so friendly.

Fantastic experience: What a find Sean Armstrong Fitness has been!! The trainers are fantastic; supportive, encouraging and friendly. As someone who was intimidated by the “whole gym thing.” I now look forward to my sessions each week and am able to see the benefits of becoming stronger and fitter. At Sean Armstrong Fitness, the trainers support you to reach your own goals from your own starting point. I can’t recommend SAF enough. Great team, great atmosphere and great health benefits!!!!!

Fantastic experience: Week one done….great place to work on your fitness, the team here are helpful and support you continually during your session not sure why I didn’t do it before but glad I did

Fantastic experience: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely the Best Small Group Training Experience! I’ve been training at Sean Armstrong fitness for 3 weeks now, and I can’t say enough good things about it. The small group format is perfect—it provides the motivation of a group setting, but with plenty of personal attention from the trainers. You never feel lost in the group. Special thanks to Martin and Scott for their support. The coaches are incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely invested in each person’s progress. They tailor exercises to fit all fitness levels and ensure everyone is moving safely and effectively. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to level up your workouts, this place meets you where you are. The environment is welcoming, non-intimidating, and fun. The community vibe is strong—you actually want to show up, even on tough days. If you’re looking for a gym that combines expert coaching with a friendly, encouraging atmosphere, Sean Armstrong fitness is it. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Great friendly gym with brilliant coaches. I'd never been to a gym before, helped every step of the way. 5 weeks in and I'm feeling stronger and sleeping better. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone!

Fantastic experience: I have slammed, swung, lifted, pushed and pulled weights this morning. All coached, guided and corrected. Great start to the day

Fantastic experience: I'm absolutely loving it and look forward to every session. When I first started my fibromyalgia was at its peak, I was in so much pain and exhausted but my god what a difference I feel, not only in my strength and fitness but also in my mental health. The boys are absolutely fantastic, always friendly, supportive and I never feel pressured into doing anything I don't think I can do, only ever encouraged. The classes are exactly what I needed. Thank you ❤️️‍♀️

Fantastic experience: Great experience at Sean Armstrong - they'll meet you at your level and workouts are easily tailored in their small group sessions. Really welcoming and supportive atmosphere. You'll quickly get stronger here!

Fantastic experience: Sean Armstrong Fitness is perfect if you are new to personal training and need a confidence boost. Sean’s team take you through all the steps you need to get started and then achieve step by step improvements. Particular shout out to Scott for his patience, attention to detail and positive encouragement - he really helped me on my fitness journey. I would heartily recommend you give these guys a go - they have a programme for all ages and all abilities.

Fantastic experience: Trainers have got a good sense of humour all training

Fantastic experience: At 56 and overweight with an arthritic knee, I thought I was a write off. I thought gyms were not places for people like me. I could tell from the moment I was greeted as I walked through the door that this was different. The trainers are so supportive and help you to move forward at a pace that is comfortable to you. The gym has a special community vibe and everybody is encouraging and non judgmental. I’m now able to walk up and down stairs without wanting to scream in pain and it’s even encouraged me to join other exercise classes. I feel stronger and happier both physically and mentally and, better still, I have a good laugh with the trainers and other participants. I feel like a new person!

Fantastic experience: I joined Sean Armstrong Fitness 5 weeks ago and I am thrilled that I am feeling stronger, more confident and my bad back is less painful already! The coaches are all very friendly, highly knowledgeable and incredibly supportive. I like the small group sessions where the coaches are always on hand to advise how to improve my technique to ensure I get the best results and avoid injury. From my first session I could tell the atmosphere was welcoming with a sense of community. The other members are all very friendly and always willing to offer support and motivation. The studio and equipment are well maintained and are kept immaculately clean. I would highly recommend Sean Armstrong Fitness to anyone looking for a supportive and professional fitness environment. I look forward to continuing my fitness journey with them.

Fantastic experience: Everyone at Sean Armstrong fitness is really welcoming and it’s a complete friendly atmosphere. This is nothing like a traditional gym, there are no intimidating people (let’s be honest beefed up men) grunting in the corner, just a friendly group of people all helping each other to work out. If you’ve never been to a gym before or are unsure of what to do in a gym this is the place for you.

Fantastic experience: Having never been in a gym I signed up for the 30 day introduction and quickly it became the best thing I had done in years. The instructors are so friendly and encouraging in a relaxed environment. I am more confident and getting stronger every week. I highly recommend anyone looking to have a go and surprise yourself. It's so worth it. Thank you to all

Fantastic experience: Excellent programming. Knowledgeable coaches able to modify for the individual as needed. Professional, yet fun environment. Highly recommend!!

Fantastic experience: Started the six week challenge with a certain amount of trepidation-would it be too challenging, would everyone be very young, very thin and very fit…… I can honestly say this wasn’t the case. The team of instructors have been brilliant, encouraging me, helping me to challenge myself. The people in the sessions are friendly and supportive and in a positive way-a mixed bunch. Finished the 6 week challenge and feel much stronger and have signed up for regular sessions. Can’t wait, thanks guys.

Fantastic experience: I joined a few months ago to improve my knee after nine years of pain after injury. The improvement has been tremendous. Great encouragement and a high degree of care from the coaches.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Sean Armstrong Fitness to anyone who wants to build strength, like we all should do to combat ageing, improve mobility and flexibility. Sean Armstrong Fitness is ideal if you don't like typical gyms because every session is run by one of the instructors, who all know your name and starting abilities, who guide, instruct and encourage everyone in small groups of no more than 6. You don't need any previous gym experience and you'll be taught all you need to know as each session is well structured with flexibility to suit everyone. You'll quickly get to know the other members who will be on a similar journey to you and are friendly and supportive. I have just completed the 6 weeks beginner's course which has boosted my confidence as much as it's increased my strength and improved my balance. Oh and the facilities and equipment are first class too. 10/10! Matt

Fantastic experience: I was genuinely nervous about going back to the gym following injury. However all of the trainers at Sean Armstrong Fitness immediately put me at my ease. They encouraged me when needed and gave me that extra bit of confidence. There is a real sense of community with the other gym members too. Whilst strength is at the heart of the gym so is motivation and a sense of togetherness

Fantastic experience: I started with a 30 day trial and was hooked straight away. I noticed a difference in my fitness within a week! The trainers are friendly, supportive and encouraging and the sessions are well structured with the trainers paying close attention to your form and technique. I’d highly recommend them to anyone!

Fantastic experience: I’ve never joined a gym before so was very nervous about going. I shouldn’t have been. The lads are fantastic. They always go at your pace, tailor things to your needs and we always have a laugh. I’ve made some great friends

Fantastic experience: After my knee replacement I never imagined that I would be able to take part in a fitness program. From day one I was encouraged and supported to achieve my potential. I am so grateful for the opportunity to continue my journey and continue to improve.

Fantastic experience: Sean Armstrong Fitness isn't like any other gym. I was very wary at first as I have arthritis and been to other gyms where I felt out of my comfort zone. Totally different here, everyone at SAF are friendly and welcoming, trainers and members. All the trainers are very knowledgeable, supportive and patient. As I struggled with some of the exercises I wasn't made to feel useless, instead they would find an alternative exercise to do. Always there encouraging and giving advice. I would highly recommend SAF.

Fantastic experience: SAF is an amazing place to train. The coaches are very friendly and knowledgeable, and are always offering support and guidance. What I love about this gym is the sense of community. Everyone is accepted. People of all ages, shapes and sizes, from all walks of life, coming together to motivate one another and to create a better version of themselves. It’s amazing to see the progress people make. I’ve met some incredible people on their journey and made some great friends over the years. Sign up and come join us!

Fantastic experience: I wish I had found this gym sooner. The coaches offer a tailored approach to your individual needs whilst also encouraging you to push outside of your comfort zone. They have built a warm and welcoming environment where the other members all spur one another on. I genuinely look forward to every session and leave in such a good mood!

Fantastic experience: An incredible place to go to, to help your fitness! The team are amazing, always making sure you’re alright, tailoring your workout to suit you (whether that’s pushing you that little bit further or taking things nice and easy until you get the hang of it.) I can’t recommend this place enough, it’s changed my perception of ‘the gym’ but also taught me a lot about myself and the things I need to do correctly to stay fit. Thank you for all your support!

Fantastic experience: These guys are great at helping you to get back to training after being poorly. All exercises are given to you as an individual to suit your needs. I’m amazed at how I have improved in six months. I’m feeling much fitter and stronger.

Fantastic experience: I completed the 6 week longevity programme in October and the signed straight up to a full membership. I did have reservations about joining a gym again as I've found them to be clicky places in the past. However, I've attended sessions on most days at different time slots and can honestly say that no matter which small group I end up working with I am welcomed and have never felt exposed to feeling part of a click or not. If you want to work out in a supportive environment with like minded people then this is the gym for you. The staff (Sean, Martin, Scott and Luca) are all incredibly knowledgeable and want to see you achieve your own goals - you are not pushed to achieve something they want, it's all about you. That said, if the trainers think you can do more they will encourage you to push yourself harder during a session. When I signed up for the 6 week longevity programme I was really anxious about aggravating and old shoulder issue and was quite clear about what I could and would do from the outset as I wanted to avoid a flare up. The trainers listened and asked questions to try and understand my shoulder issue a bit more and then adapted exercises for me to work around the issue so I would still build strength and muscle. As a result, my shoulder is better than it's been in years and I never worry about what I can and can't do anymore. I have an incredibly busy life with lots of competing commitments - carving out 3 hours for myself each week to go to the gym is actually a big thing for me as I'm not used to putting myself first. However, I'm three months into my journey now, and I'm so pleased I did as I feel amazing. Exercising at SAF has boosted my mood (which I didn't think needed a boost), changed my body shape, and has made me feel strong and powerful again. Friends and family have been noticing the changes over the last few weeks, and I'm loving the compliments. I can't recommend this place enough!

Fantastic experience: Always great to start out the morning with a session at Sean Armstrong Fitness! It’s not just your typical gym where you check in and check out. I truly feel like part of a community at SAF. Sean, Scott, Martin, and Luca not only help you with your fitness goals, but they take the time to check in with you in your everyday life. I always leave each session feeling energized to start the rest of my day!

Fantastic experience: Having done little exercise other than walking for many years, with arthritis and osteoporosis, strengthening exercise seemed a good idea. Within six weeks there was a significant, all round improvement. The instructors are great, very encouraging and give clear instructions. The small group sessions ensure they can give feedback throughout each session. The gym is spacious, very well equipped and very clean. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Sean Armstrong Fitness is exactly what I was looking for. I’m loving the small group personal training sessions. Everyone is lovely and you get a lot of attention from the coaches to make sure you are doing the exercises correctly. I’ve never committed to a gym before until now!

Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of training here during my recent holiday to the UK to visit my Dad who is a member at SAF. The facility is great and the Boys are incredible trainers, knowledgeable and they made me feel really confident in every movement I did. I'm not a "gym person" and this space felt really inclusive and comfortable. I could not recommend Sean Armstrong Fitness more highly and I can't wait for my next trip to the UK to train in with them again.

Fantastic experience: I have just finished 6 week training with Sean Armstrong gym. 6 weeks ago I had ache and pain, I found it hard to get out of the chair. Now I am fit , my body has change shape and I now run up the stairs. I am 68years old I feel like 50year old. I would recommend this gym. Thank you to Sean and his team.

Fantastic experience: I have just completed my 6 week trial and signed up straight away. This gym is like no other I have attended. What hits you straight away is how friendly and welcoming everyone is. But the main difference here being the coaching All the lads are great. Pushing you just enough to make a difference but watching you very carefully to make sure you are doing the exercises perfectly. I already feel the benefits and look forward to more

Fantastic experience: This type of training was out of my comfort zone. The instructors are so friendly and reassuring. They continually assess your needs and goals whilst making sure you’re doing things correctly to keep you safe. The other gyms users are all very friendly and make you feel welcome and also very encouraging. The small groups make it a very nice atmosphere. All the equipment is in very good condition and it’s spotlessly clean. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I rarely leave reviews, however, I feel this was well deserved. Amazing facilities. The guys are very professional, warm and friendly. I highly recommend Sean Armstrong Fitness to anyone of any age!

Fantastic experience: I’d been a member of mainstream gyms for decades, but it was becoming less and less enjoyable. My fitness routine wasn’t really working physically or mentally. I wasn’t seeing any positive changes and was increasingly leaving classes feeling lousy about myself having been yelled at for an hour. Cue the Instagram stalking of Sean Armstrong Fitness. They looked like ‘normal’ people. And there was a lot of smiling going on. Within a couple hours of contacting them, Sean had signed me up for my first small group training and a few weeks later, I’m all in. There’s loads of sessions per week meaning it’s really convenient, and the space is immaculate. Every session has been different with progress introduced to exercises, so it never feels mundane. Martin and Scott have been friendly and encouraging which is so refreshing, and reassuring. They are full of tips and advice on form and technique, which in some cases has meant me doing things differently, but I feel like I’m in safe hands. It transpires tiny changes can make a big difference. It’s super inspiring seeing other people lifting heavy weights and I hope I’ll be doing the same soon. It’s early days, but I’m confident I will improve strength and muscle tone, and maybe my clothes won’t feel so tight in a few months’ time which would be nice too!

Fantastic experience: Sean Armstrong Fitness has allowed me to succeed in goals I thought were unobtainable! I have watched myself grow from strength to strength in just four weeks. I am excited to continue my journey with Sean Armstrong Fitness and watch my strength develop with the support from personable PT’s. Aside from this, I have enjoyed receiving support from a strong community of likeminded people. I would highly recommend SAF to anybody wanting to advance their fitness or to anybody who may be lacking confidence like myself.

Fantastic experience: Very good session with one to one support and encouragement. Looking forward to the next few weeks

Fantastic experience: Thoroughly enjoyable sessions, with good variety to choose from the timetable. Experiences Coaches who are easily approachable and give excellent advice to clients. Very welcoming gym.

Fantastic experience: Found the perfect place for my fitness. The personal trainers give you a personal touch, tailored to your individual journey and capabilities. I started to see a difference in my physical appearance and strength within a month and continue to feel the changes as the days go by. Great place, great team

Fantastic experience: Awesome Personal Gym. Outstanding Trainers. Easy to get to location in Tyneside. Great Venue and Equipment. Friendly Members aged from 20's to 60's. My go to place for fitness and well being. Highly Recommended.

Fantastic experience: I’m not really one to leave reviews but in this case I thought I would share my experience. I joined a 6 week trial at SAF and so glad I did. I’ve wanted to join a gym for years but always found an excuse to put it off! I had no idea how to exercise properly or use equipment properly but the trainers, Martin, Scott, Sean and Andy are very knowledgeable and experienced in what they do. Every class there is one of them there to keep you right and help you understand different exercises. They are also great guys. If anyone is thinking about joining a gym I would fully recommend Sean Armstrong Fitness. If anxiety or nervousness (which I struggle with) is stopping you, I would just say try and push yourself out of your comfort zone, the feeling you get after attending a class is a much better feeling than the one walking in to the place. 3 weeks into the trial I started seeing results and now the trial is over I’m feeling much better in myself, so definitely staying on. So glad I found this place. Thanks guys.

Fantastic experience: I signed up for the 6 week longevity programme. I'm not usually someone that likes gyms or fitness. This is a really friendly fitness centre. Caters for all ages and all levels of fitness. The instructors are all dedicated to supporting each individual on their fitness plan. They challenge you, ensuring you are reaching your targets. Whether you want to increase fitness, tone up or improve your resilience, the centre will encourage you. They will adapt techniques to suit individual ability or health problems, build a unique set of exercises and give advice on how to achieve the technique. My work colleagues and partner noticed my shape changing within 3 weeks! Highly recommend this fitness centre.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic unpretentious gym. Very patient and knowledgeable coaches with a great sense of humour . All members are very welcoming and encouraging. This is the first gym I’ve enjoyed attending and have seen visible results in a short space of time.

Fantastic experience: Super friendly and fab training support, If you want to see real changes to your body I would highly recommend and promise you won't regret it, money well spent!!

Fantastic experience: I cannot speak highly enough of Sean Armstrong Fitness. Sean, Martin and Scott are all professional and friendly and always making it fun, entertaining and different! Never a dull moment. All the sessions are challenging and different and they cater to individual needs and strengths whilst always pushing you. All three are knowledgeable and approachable making you feel at ease and never scared to ask a question. The other members are also friendly and seem to all be smiling, even after a growling workout! 5 stars without a doubt, one of the best decisions I have made joining Sean Armstrong Fitness and would recommend to anyone!

Fantastic experience: Since joining SAF at the start of the year, I have really enjoyed my experience. I feel like I have a much more structured, consistent and effective approach to my fitness. The coaches are all really supportive in helping you achieve your goals which has really helped keep me motivated and stay on track. I feel stronger and fitter than I have done in years and my fitness outside the gym has improved too, for example I am running much faster. The small group sessions have really improved my strength. Having attended other gyms before and attempted weights without really knowing what to do, I now feel so much more comfortable and confident in using weights and the techniques I need. The coaches are great- they really care about how you are doing and push you in a supportive way when you need it. They also have good craic too which helps in the tough sessions! Would definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: I have just signed up after a trial period where I found myself actually enjoying exercise which I have never done before. Everyone has been so friendly and encouraging. It is challenging in a really great way and you are pushed gently but firmly to test yourself. I am looking forward to what I can achieve!

Fantastic experience: Great gym with a friendly and encouraging environment! The coaches are fantastic and always make the sessions enjoyable and fulfilling. Thanks to SAF I now look forward to exercise - highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: SAF isn’t your typical gym but it still has people at every level, yes the sessions do vary in terms of who you’re training with, there are some members that are fitter and or stronger than others and there are people there who are just starting their journey. I was so conscious when I started because I didn’t know where I was at but within 2/3 sessions I felt comfortable, supported and I especially felt welcomed from day 1 and even though I’ve had a long term injury since the second week of joining and all the staff have catered around my capabilities and it’s still worked. I’ve made more friends since joining and I just genuinely enjoy my sessions. You either want it or you don’t and I get that it can be daunting but the daunting thing is taking that first step. I’m over the moon that I’ve joined and gave it time to settle in because now I enjoy the sessions more. It’s a community, everyone has different goals but we’re all there to better ourselves. I would definitely recommend Sean Armstrong Fitness to anyone who wants to better themselves.

Fantastic experience: If you’re looking for a gym with that real personal touch and genuine support, look no further than SAF. They’re not just a gym, but a bunch of likeminded people who are supportive, do not judge and encourage each other. Genuinely, the trainers are second to none. Give it a go and join the Sean Armstron Fitness family . . . Something you won’t regret - I promise.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym in North Shields. I’ve been very impressed with the Personal Training since joining. The trainers are amazing, workouts varied and a focus on both strength and cardio makes for great progress. A really lovely community of members and a very supportive, welcoming atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: If you're looking here and decising if you should come to Sean Armstrong Fitness, come! Give it a go! Martin, Scott and Sean are great coaches. They offer amazing support and want to see each individual do the best they can. I feel both pushed and supported at the same time and already seeing improvement in myself both physically and mentally. From the moment i started the gym everyone has been so lovely and friendly. I can't speak more highly of this place!

Fantastic experience: I have been at SAF since November 2023 and I couldn't be happier with my experience. The facility is top-notch, with state-of-the-art equipment and a variety of workout sessions to suit every fitness goal. The staff are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, always willing to offer guidance and support. What truly sets this gym apart from any other is the sense of community. Everyone here is so encouraging and supportive, creating a motivating atmosphere that keeps me coming back for more. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned gym-goer, this place has something for everyone. I can honestly say I look forward to my gym sessions now, and I can't imagine going anywhere else. If you're tired of a lacklustre gym experience, give this place a try; you won't regret it!

Fantastic experience: Really glad I decided to start training at Sean’s, as a 67yearold I was a bit nervous of my capabilities but this was soon put to rest. Great instruction and a very friendly environment to train in. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: At 24 I was suffering from a lot of back pain from work so decided to sign up to the 30 day trail. I am super anxious and was so scared before the first session but I quickly realised I had nothing to worry about! All of the trainers and other gym members are so friendly and make you feel so comfortable. I’ve been going 3x per week which is more exercise than I’ve ever done in my life. Now that my trail is over I will be signing up to continue on. Really life changing!! No more back pain!!

Fantastic experience: Since joining six months ago, I’ve been really pleased with my experience at SAF. There is a lot of choice of plans and sessions so you can go to the gym at a time and frequency that suits you. The sessions themselves cover a variety of exercises so you get to try different things and train different areas. I have enjoyed the small group sessions because people of all abilities can do similar exercises and the coaches come to understand your own progress so can challenge each person accordingly. Sean, Scott and Martin are very friendly, supportive and knowledgeable.

Fantastic experience: Great support and encouragement. Was nervous going back to session as recovering from a badly sprained ankle and sore knee. However Martin eased me back into exercises and gave advice about what I should do to not aggravate my injury. Fab to be back with my 10 o’clock crew!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely loving the sessions with Martin, Scott and Sean. The small group sessions mean the trainers can really focus on what exercise and weight is right for you to make sure you get the most out of every session. The variety of workouts make it even more enjoyable. After only 3 weeks I am already feeling stronger and motivated to keep going. I would recommend anyone thinking about signing up to give it a go. You won’t be disappointed! Sharon

Fantastic experience: Professional PT’s who adapt the sessions to suit your individual abilities. Friendly members. I joined the gym on my own, which was slightly daunting, however I immediately felt part of the group and now look forward to each session. I would highly recommend this gym.

Fantastic experience: Sean Armstrong Fitness is absolutely nothing like other gyms with large groups leaving you feeling invisible, just left to learn the techniques from other gym members which 9 times out are 10 are doing it wrong, then causes injury. I am nearing the completion for my 30-day PT trial at Sean Armstrong Fitness and have signed up for more sessions, without any hesitation. The trainers are amazing very supportive and clear with instructions for the correct technique in every session. I personally love the small groups as it now feels like a little family, I feel much more confident in doing the sessions as the support from the trainers and other people on the session is great. Would definitely recommend giving it a go.

Fantastic experience: SAF offers huge flexibility with group sessions, making it great for people who can't commit to set days/times. Motivated coaches, session variety, excellent facilities, and friendly members. Somewhere all abilities can enjoy!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been running and involved in athletics for years but I always found an excuse to avoid the gym. I wasn’t sure if it was for me, what all the equipment was for, and most of all how I would know I was using it properly. I finally decided I’d give it a go and signed up to a trial at Sean Armstrong Fitness. I have to say it was brilliant and after just a few weeks I started to feel the benefit. It’s based on small group personal training which means you have somebody watching over you all the time to make sure you’re doing things right and making the most of every session. There’s absolutely no peer pressure and the guys will make sure you’re not overdoing it, but at the same time they will encourage you to maximise the potential that you have. Aside from the training there’s always a freindly buzz about the place and it’s a great place to meet people and make friends. Thanks to Sean, Martin and Scott for all their help and support. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sean Armstrong Fitness. Give it a go you don’t know what you’re missing.

Fantastic experience: I recently finished the 30 day trial at Sean Armstrong and signed up to be a full member as soon as it was done. From the first session everyone was so incredibly lovely and welcoming. I spent some time at other gyms where it was a bit of a free for all but at Sean Armstrong you are so well looked after. The coaches are so knowledgable and so incredibly friendly tailoring the programme to exactly what you need. Everyone who attends is of variable fitness backgrounds and abilities but it really doesn’t seem or feel like it because the team challenge everyone individually while also creating a team atmosphere during workouts and sessions. I look forward to the gym now and have definitely improved in the small time I have been there. I am looking forward to what challenges come my way at Sean Armstrong ! Thank you everyone !

Fantastic experience: I have participated in the 30-day PT Trial at Sean Armstrong Fitness. The whole experience was exactly what I needed to get into fitness without any knowledge or gym experience. The sessions were really nice with a variety of exercises that developed the full body. The staff was helpful and supportive throughout the process, ready to answer any questions or adjust the exercise to my needs or condition. I was a bit nervous at first about joining a new community, but from my very first session I felt welcomed and supported by the members as well as the staff. The atmosphere was great, which made the sessions more enjoyable. Even though I wasn’t a member for a long time I noticed some progress. The team at Sean Armstrong Fitness are very helpful with progress tracking and guidance if you want to achieve your goals. More importantly the sessions just made me feel great and kept me motivated to stay fit. Either way, whether you are a complete beginner or an ambitious sport person, I believe you will find Seam Armstong Fitness a right place for you and enjoy your fitness journey with them.

Fantastic experience: Been coming here for just over a month and it’s a great place to come, the instructors are knowledgable, supportive and encouraging. Everything is well organised and sessions are great and varied, I always leave feeling satisfied. A very friendly and welcoming Gym I would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: the boys are super professional! i was apprehensive starting the gym but they made me feel at ease and were super supportive. Would recommend to anyone - all ages and abilities!

Fantastic experience: My second month into my gym membership - the trainers, equipment and facilities are all top notch. Each class is different so the variety keeps it all enjoyable and you never know what to expect!

Fantastic experience: The gym has a fabulous atmosphere and the instructors are very knowledgeable and always keeping me right with the exercises. I feel so much stronger in just 2 months. Fantastic.

Fantastic experience: Really enjoying the gym, all the coaches and members are really friendly, great workout every time. Exercise is now an enjoyable habit thanks to Sean's team. 5 star review.

Fantastic experience: Everyone is friendly and approachable, I'm only in my 3rd week and i feel part of the family. I look forward to each session, the smaller pt sessions are amazing. Highly recommend, definitely do a trial.

Fantastic experience: I've been training with Sean and his team for 4 months and I love it! You'll meet some fantastic people, no-one judges you, there're no mirrors, however above all, and this is the reason for 5 stars...The coaches are fantastic, supportive, knowledgeable, engaging and lighthearted...Just what you need when you're face to face with a kettlebell! If you want to invest in your health and wellbeing please give Sean and his team a go!

Fantastic experience: Being going for nine months now and its brilliant. I started from a fearful level of fitness at 45 years old and whilst its tough its being doing me great and i can feel the progression with strength and energy. I also really like the people and the social side. Excellent value for money.

Fantastic experience: I joined in January as a way to get my fitness on track and integrate in a friendly environment where I could get my bearings, and I've been massively impressed - not just by the training itself, which is hugely beneficial, but also by how friendly and welcoming both the staff and other gym-goers are. Special shout out to Scott and Martin who have pushed my limits and amazed me with the progress we're making - seeing tons of benefit already and I've only been going a couple of months. Long may it continue.

Fantastic experience: I recently completed the 30 day trial at Sean Armstrong Fitness and straight after signed up to continue. The coaches are incredibly friendly, supportive, and adapt any session to your needs and goals.

Fantastic experience: I started just over a year ago after being given a trial from a friend and I honestly couldn’t recommend the gym highly enough. The environment and culture that exists is excellent and not something I’ve ever experienced before. I’ve been given tips, pointers & sometimes subtle pressure (in a good way) from PTs who are genuinely interested and want to help. The facilities are perfect and I think tailor themselves to all abilities, ages and starting points

Fantastic experience: I wanted to improve my general fitness and stamina, but being north of 50 and well overweight, I was a bit nervous about signing up. But Sean Armstrong Fitness was highly recommended to me so I signed up. I'm really glad I did. The classes are stretching, but not beyond everyone's individual capabilities. And both the trainers (Sean, Scott and Martin) and the members (who have varying abilities) are really friendly and supportive. So after my 30 day trial, I've now signed up for the full deal.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member of Sean Armstrong Fitness for over 2 years now and will probably be a member forever :) They offer a variety of workouts and will adjust the session to suit you where needed. Trust the process it works! Overall love this gym. Sean, Scott & Martin are canny too!

Fantastic experience: I Joined Sean Armstrong fitness after a 30 day trial in January to help improve both my mental and physical wellbeing . Really impressed from meeting Sean, Scott and Martin on day one, Nice warm friendly welcome from every one, good facilities coupled with great coaching from Scott Martin and Sean designed to help you get the best out of every session but also have some fun This is no ordinary gym its more of a family of like minded people No Ego's and No Mirrors! Im really pleased that i have joined such a good facility .

Fantastic experience: After doing some research online I decided to try the 30 day trial at Sean Armstrong Fitness. Never been to a gym before, 57, fat and unfit so thought it probably wasn't for me but I'd give it a try for a month. Honestly, I really didn't like that first session, it was hard. The next day, even my hair hurt! My hope was that by the end of the month I wouldn't hate it. Well, within 2 weeks I loved it. The coaches are brilliant, Sean, Martin and Scott, thank you for your help and patience. No judgement, everyone is so friendly, I'm getting stronger and feel much better. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Almost 4 months now and loving it.

Fantastic experience: Joined this amazing group of people last August and haven't looked back. The trainers are so friendly, supportive and knowledgeable and the members respond by always encouraging each other and striving to improve their fitness. It's a safe, happy and non intimidating environment. I feel stronger and fitter and always feel my spirits are lifted after each session. Well worth the investment in my future health and well being.

Fantastic experience: Best gym, North Shields finest. Could not recommend more! Lovely members, lovely trainers and a good bit of craic. The personal training is great, catered for where you personally are at and always pushing you on. The lads are dead canny, really knowledgeable, encouraging and friendly. The sessions are varied and completely doable no matter your fitness or strength. For personal training, it's really good value. All sorts of social things going on too, it's a lush little community. You'll become a gym person in no time here.

Fantastic experience: What a great experience! Just finished a 30 day trial at Sean Armstrong Fitness. A tailored programme of exercises and the attentive personalised instruction is a great combination. particularly useful if, like me, you are getting back into the gym after a long break. Very knowledgeable instructors and a great manner with all clients. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Just can't say enough good things about this fantastic place! I joined in April (at the ripe old age of 58) having never set foot in a gym or done any regular exercise my whole life. I was really nervous before my first session thinking I wouldn't be able to do anything or would just feel out of place. I couldn't have been more wrong. The trainers Sean, Scott and Martin are total professionals. They were friendly and supportive from the beginning pushing you to do more but all with a sense of fun. Other members are really friendly too, nobody is judging what you can / can't do. I can feel my fitness and strength improving, every session is different and I love going (my family can't believe it!) Thank-you lads - you're superstars.

Fantastic experience: I’m new to Sean Armstrong Fitness and am delighted with my choice of gym. The trainers are all professional, kind and fun. Each session is structured, varied and challenging. It’s tailored to my ability and adjustments suggested where necessary so I gain maximum benefit. Because of the quality of service I receive, I think Sean Armstrong Fitness offers excellent value for money.

Fantastic experience: As someone who consistently struggled to commit to going to a gym for my entire adulthood, at 57, I had pretty much given up on exercising. Then I started at SAF which has been a breath of fresh air. I have been a member for over a year and LOVE it. The trainers are all great. The small group weight training means you get attention as needed so that you are always doing the lifting correctly which is so important. The various HIIT classes are great too. I am fitter, healthier, and happier. I highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Sean Armstrong fitness for just over a year now. The personal training has been excellent. The coaches are knowledgeable and supportive and run fantastic sessions. It is not the cheapest but, in view of the support and encouragement that Sean, Martin and Scott give, it's good value. The other members are friendly and make you feel very welcome

Fantastic experience: I started my one-month trial in February and by the second week I knew that I'd be taking out membership. This despite being firmly in the 'gyms not for me' camp. The atmosphere is welcoming and supportive and the other members are a really friendly bunch. The small group sessions, with a maximum of 6 people to one trainer, are great for building confidence. I had never done weight training before but I can see the progress I'm making and am definitely beginning to feel stronger. Sean, Scott and Martin - you deserve a medal for putting up with me. Best thing I ever did.

Fantastic experience: I can only say you’re missing out if you don’t join Sean Armstrong fitness.The support and training you get in each small group session is outstanding.There are all shapes,sizes and ages who are members so absolutely no judgement from anyone ,only encouragement and love ❤️.Give it a try,I’m sure you won’t regret it!

Fantastic experience: A great team that are supportive and helpful, really enjoyed getting back in the gym. There is a great atmosphere with the staff and the members

Fantastic experience: I've loved every single session (even when I could hardly walk the next day), you guys have given me a major confidence boost, working me at just the right level where I'm pushing myself without ever feeling out of my depth. I love the friendly, laidback community feel here, and just want to say a massive thanks, I feel much stronger, mentally and physically, than when I started.

Fantastic experience: I may have said this before, but this gym continues to provide challenging and hugely enjoyable fitness coaching. I clocked up 500 sessions here recently but the coaches continue to tailor the sessions to my (and others) physical limitations. Dodgy knees doesn’t mean you can’t be part of Sean Armstrong Fitness by any means. Loads of different sessions times, additional larger group classes, plus really friendly fellow members produces a great atmosphere, where your mental and emotional well being is as important as your physical development. Try it. Join it. Love it.

Fantastic experience: I was reluctant at first to join in :) flirted with the idea for couple of years but after careful consideration and research I decided to join Sean Armstrong gym. It’s perfect, small groups, which at first I thought might be a disadvantage (it’s not one on one) but I actually loved it. The trainers are very friendly, understanding and encouraging (not pushy) and the number of people attending a personal training group session is up to 12, which means that there are 6 people per trainer and that allows them to concentrate on each and everyone during the session but also for me it means I don’t feel singled out:) I also can attend as many as I want sessions- sweat and hybrid which creates a balance during the week and keeps me active and engaged at no extra cost :) I am not particularly social person but the group of people attending is so engaging it is hard not to feel naturally included and I ended up participating in all sorts of social and sporting events that The team organises :) Nearly 4 months now and I am happier, fitter and with a lot more friends and activities to look forward to :) ❤️

Fantastic experience: If you want to get fitter and stronger maybe lose weight, have fun, make new friends and you enjoy good music Sean Armstrong Fitness is for you.

Fantastic experience: Can't recommend Sean Armstrong Fitness highly enough. Great team, fantastic facilities and really welcoming atmosphere. I really enjoy all the sessions with the guys - and the regular communication and motivation makes a huge difference!
