Dauntless Fitness

Fantastic experience: Dauntless was my first attempt at CrossFit and after completing one month trial, I can't wait to see where the gym can take me! Lots of new things to learn, and after years of training it was the change I needed! Super excited for the future!

Fantastic experience: Great gym with good energy and supportive coaches/community! Coming to the end of a month's trial at Dauntless and excited to continue.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, great coaches, great community. Everyone is lovely and willing to help. The classes are both challenging and rewarding and the staff/members make it a comfortable and enjoyable experience.

Fantastic experience: They have made me fall in love with exercise again. Fantastic classes, with so much variation, and the trainers are so knowledgeable. I’ve just finished my trial and have joined the full membership. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I joined Dauntless CrossFit Blaydon around 6weeks ago on their trial offer and have to say I am entirely hooked! The sessions are varied, appropriately challenging to suit all fitness/experience levels, and are very well supported both by the coaches and other members. What I particularly like is being gently encouraged out of my comfort zone to realise, actually, I can do this!

Fantastic experience: I am at the end of my one month trial and I feel I have finally found my tribe. For many years I’ve tried to find that gym that works for me. And I was disappointed every time when I went to a gym and things didn’t work out. At Dauntless is different. I choose my classes for the week ahead that work with my life and then I just show up. All the coaches I’ve met in the past month are lovely and they tell us what to do. I don’t have to remember anything, I just need to focus to do it right and learn the correct way of doing the exercises. Every coach has a different style of teaching which is nice. And everyone is lovely. Even though I am in no shape and I am no expert in what I am doing, I feel encouraged by the coaches and the other members to keep pushing. After every class I’ve learned something new and it gives me a feeling of accomplishment and confidence. Also, it’s really nice there are no mirrors in the gym. This makes me focus on the mind body connection and feeling every move rather than looking in the mirror to see if I am doing it right. In the past month, I’ve noticed how I actually look forward to going to gym to see what is next. And all that sweat is definitely very satisfying looking forward to continuing and to see how this experience will shape me in time.

Fantastic experience: Great coaches, tough workouts, and an awesome community. Perfect place to get stronger and stay motivated!

Fantastic experience: Really friendly atmosphere and helpful coaches! Everyone is super supportive and encouraging. Was apprehensive about not knowing the moves as a total beginner, but the coaches really take their time to explain movements, give you scaled back options and provide feedback on form and technique throughout the classes. Started on their trial offer but will be joining as a member!

Fantastic experience: I started coming to classes at Dauntless a few months ago and have thoroughly enjoyed my time attending since! Everyone at the classes are very welcoming and friendly, and all of the coaches are super supportive and encouraging. Looking forward to continuing at the gym and seeing more progress in the coming months!

Fantastic experience: Amazing coaches and welcoming

Fantastic experience: Just finished my trial at Dauntless and signed up for a membership. Everyone has been so welcoming and I’ve really enjoyed the classes. The trainers explain the exercises in detail and give a variety of options depending on skill level. They are always on hand to help and give advice. Looking forward to continuing my training there.

Fantastic experience: This is a great community to be part of. Everyone is always so welcoming, supportive and encouraging no matter what fitness level you are at. Coaches are very knowledgable and know how to push you to ensure you make the most of the class you attend.

Fantastic experience: Really great gym, signed up as part of the trail offer they had on but will definitely be signing up for a full membership. Classes are great, all the coaches take the time to go through the work out to make sure you understand along with showing different options just in case there are some you aren’t able to do, plus they’re supportive in the sessions helping you with techniques and making sure you are doing everything correct and safe!

Fantastic experience: My partner and I moved to the area and recently joined Dauntless. I was a bit apprehensive at first having never done CrossFit, not knowing what to expect, along with feeling like I was in a bit of a ‘rut’ when it came to my training - but now a month in and fast realised it’s been one of the best decisions I’ve made. The classes have been brilliant, a good mix of activity spread across a well planned schedule - multiple different options throughout the week to suit you. The coaching has also been fantastic, really supportive and very skilled. The classes are scaled for all skill levels, so you can build up and work down where you need to. It’s a very safe space, no judgement and 110% support. Everyone from coaches to members have been extremely welcoming and so friendly. I now realise there was absolutely nothing to be apprehensive about. I finally feel like I’m back from my rut and I really look forward to every class I go to. I’m so excited to see where Dauntless takes me!

Fantastic experience: I've been going to Dauntless for a couple of weeks now and have been loving it! The classes are scaled, so there is something for everyone and the coaches have been really supportive in helping me get my technique right. The gym itself is a great space and has all the equipment you could need.

Fantastic experience: Amazing place to train for all skill & fitness levels. The Team at Dauntless have created an exceptional environment, everyone is really friendly and all members get stuck in and help each other out, one big community. The coaches at Dauntless are of a really high standard with programming to push you through the limits you thought you had, with a wide variety of classes on offer (hybrid, calisthenics, olympic lifting etc..). Equally all workouts are scalable depending on the level you’re at, and coaches always on hand to provide pointers/tips to improve. Would highly recommend a visit to Dauntless if you’re keen to try something new and dip your toes into the world of CrossFit/ Hybrid training.

Fantastic experience: Dauntless is a great place to train. The community is incredibly friendly and welcoming. The coaches are knowledgeable, supportive, and always push you to improve while keeping workouts engaging and challenging. The sessions are tough but enjoyable. Great energy and a strong sense of community.

Fantastic experience: Enjoyable workouts, good programming in a friendly and supportive environment. You'll push yourself harder here than working out on your own. Worth giving it a try.

Fantastic experience: Great community of people and the coaching has been great! Really enjoyed the sessions all throughout the week and a nice mix of workouts and skill based activities. Excited to carry on the journey.

Fantastic experience: Have just finished a trial period and signed up to continue. People seem friendly and welcoming. I have now completed 7 classes. So far all the coaches have been encouraging and have made sure to check what I am doing and helping me make adjustments that help me do what I can in each class. Overall very friendly and helpful. I am enjoying starting to become fitter and exercising many different muscles.

Fantastic experience: So friendly and supportive for my first time at the gym. Already planning my next visit

Fantastic experience: This fitness gym offers exceptional coaching with knowledgeable trainers who personalize workouts. The friendly community creates a welcoming atmosphere for all attendees. The accessible and effective programming ensures members achieve their fitness goals easily. A top choice for those seeking a supportive fitness environment.

Fantastic experience: Can't recommend Dauntless enough. I've loved every session I've done since starting in the summer. Coaches are really welcoming and have given me so much support and great coaching each session, even in busier classes they make time to get round and support everyone. They've always got quick ideas for adaptations so that I can succeed on whatever level I'm working at that day. The atmosphere and equipment is brilliant, and everyone is so friendly and helpful when you're first starting and everything is new. I leave every session feeling fking great and like it was the best use of my time. Parking is easy and it's really accessible.

Fantastic experience: All of the staff have been so helpful during my 10 for £10 sessions and this has made me want to join Dauntless - Blaydon. Every session is different and everyone is always willing to help one another.

Fantastic experience: I joined Dauntless just over a month ago now, having never done CrossFit before and I wish I had joined earlier. The coaches, people and atmosphere in general are all great. The coaches in particular are always on hand to help out and encourage you to push yourself. I’m thoroughly enjoying it and I highly recommend Dauntless to anyone looking to join!

Fantastic experience: Very welcoming environment to join Cross Fit sessions! Great instructors and brilliant facilities. Highly recommend, I'd never done CF before, but have been enjoying the sessions for a few months now...

Fantastic experience: I joined Dauntless with their trial and couldn't recommend it enough. Was so nervous about starting but everyone has been so friendly and helpful. The coaches are so patient and are happy to go through things at a pace that suits you

Fantastic experience: Great classes with helpful instructors who make it very welcoming for new starters

Fantastic experience: Fantastic first month @ Dauntless! I've been to sessions with most of the coaches now who are all absolutely fantastic, very friendly, welcoming, helpful & knowledgeable! Dauntless is truly a gym for all levels of fitness & ability with everyone being made to feel equally welcome and focused on during the sessions! Everything is scaleable to meet your level & you will definitely not be the only one scaling a movement! They're fantastic workouts to help you achieve any fitness goal. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Such an amazing environment and place to be apart off

Fantastic experience: First session today. Super friendly, kind and professional. Great place to train

Fantastic experience: I wish I’d joined earlier, I was always too scared to join a CrossFit gym and I couldn’t have been made to feel any more welcome. Everyone is lovely and the coaches are so friendly and help scale everything to your ability.

Fantastic experience: Loved all the classes I did- the environment is very friendly and welcoming. The coaches put on great classes for all abilities!

Fantastic experience: Great place to train, proper community that goes far beyond just a gym.

Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere and programming, friendliest gym I’ve been to!

Fantastic experience: Such an awesome gym, so welcoming and supportive. I’ve made a load of friends and gained a load of muscle.

Fantastic experience: Started a trial here and loved it! Everyone is so friendly, and the sessions are very enjoyable, but very hard! Looking forward to continuing my journey!

Fantastic experience: I can only give my strongest recommendation to Dauntless Fitness. I'd never done any CrossFit prior to March 2023, but after a small taste at Dauntless I was hooked and I've never been fitter. The facilities are excellent with ample parking and a site easily accessed from the A1/A695 at Blaydon. Inside you'll find all the kit you could need to run through your own workout: showers, toilets, storage space for kit bags for getting yourself sorted, and plenty of equipment and ample rig space. Classes are run every day by a team of excellent coaches, all with the requisite experience and skills to keep you right during the workouts. One-to-one sessions are also available with individual coaches if you're looking to work towards a specific goal or perfect a certain skill. It's probably not inaccurate to say that a gym is defined more by it's people and culture than it's facilities and in this regard, Dauntless wins out for me. Everyone you'll find there is cool and chilled out, ready to offer encouragement when the going gets tough (and it does get really tough, if you're willing to push yourself hard enough). In previous gyms I've been used to working out alone, in my own silence, but I much prefer the more social aspect of the classes run at Dauntless. This year I would like to be crowned the Dauntless table tennis champion, but I'll be happy enough just to keep showing up and improving my skills and fitness. - Chris

Fantastic experience: Excellent class at 12 Noon today, 14th May , with Jonny Smith. Hard work, but most enjoyable with great encouragement and enthusiasm from Jonny and the other people in the class. Some Rx3 scaling was suggested and done, but a superb endorphinistic feeling at the end of the Class.

Fantastic experience: Very friendly gym with great trainers. I'm very definitely a beginner but felt encouraged and supported.

Fantastic experience: Started a month ago after leaving previous gym Totally different techniques and not gonna lie struggled at first to get to grips with it all ( still do ) I run a bit so wasn't sure this was for me ..i was wrong Absolutely love it now ❤️ Friendly and very helpful staff

Fantastic experience: Recently joined after wanting to get back into fitness but had no clue where to start. The coaches are AMAZING and so supportive, they create a fun atmosphere and a lovely environment to train in! Ability is no issue here as coaches offer different variations of each exercise and you can choose whichever suits you. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love Dauntless! I started with a trial and I’ve joined straight up! The trainers are so helpful and make sure everyone in the class is supported to suit their levels. The gym is super friendly and encouraging. Would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Really enjoyed my CrossFit class at Blaydon! Felt like I had used muscles that hadn’t been used for a while which is great!

Fantastic experience: Been coming to CrossFit Blaydon for 6 months now and it's such a great experience. Everyone is really friendly and I'm seeing results! Highly recommended !

Fantastic experience: I've been a member of this gym for a while now, and I have to say, it's been an incredible experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff who are always ready to assist. Additionally, the trainers here are knowledgeable and approachable, always willing to offer guidance and support to help you reach your fitness goals and I couldn't be happier with my decision to join. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a fantastic gym experience.

Fantastic experience: I’ve really enjoyed it at Dauntless. I was completely new to CrossFit and decided to take the plunge. 4 weeks in and the coaches couldn’t have been more helpful, guiding me through the process and being super supportive. Everyone is incredibly friendly. Would highly recommend coming down and giving CrossFit a try.

Fantastic experience: Such a lovely and welcoming place, having never done CrossFit before I was apprehensive, but all of the coaches and members are so supportive and inclusive, couldn’t recommend this gym enough plus the 10 sessions for £10 is amazing value!

Fantastic experience: I did the 10 sessions for £10 and it was great! I'm new to CrossFit and everyone has been so welcoming! At every class I attended I was shown all the techniques and given support every step of the way! I haven't been a member of a gym in a long time and was quite nervous but the trainers showed me variations so I could get the most out of the classes. Overall it's a very well- organised, friendly, positive gym! I would highly recommend and have just signed up for full membership.

Fantastic experience: I have thoroughly enjoyed starting my crossfit journey at Dauntless! As a complete beginner I have found the classes so accessible, and it really does help that the coaches and wider community at dauntless are super friendly and encouraging. Would highly recommend this gym to anyone looking for a new fitness challenge

Fantastic experience: Thoroughly enjoyed my first month on the '£10 for 10 sessions' deal (excellent value btw!). I have really enjoyed all the classes I have taken so far and the coaches are super attentive and helpful! I am now looking forward to being a full-time member here. Thank you for the warm welcome!

Fantastic experience: I’ve always been petrified about the thought of CrossFit, everyone looks like an absolute beast and I’m no where near. Yet, friends encouraged me and even when I’m not training with them, everyone is so encouraging. It doesn’t matter on your ability at all, it’s all about having fun and getting fit again. Definitely regretting not starting earlier but loving the process now! The coaches break everything down for you and coach to all learning styles as well as giving constant feedback. Don’t think about it…just do it! You won’t regret it.

Fantastic experience: Good friendly group

Fantastic experience: Joined Dauntless 2 yrs ago and it's a great place to train - the programming is excellent and varied, the coaches are great at supporting you regardless of where you are in your fitness journey, and it's a little community! Fully recommend.

Fantastic experience: Since joining Dauntless I have made so much progress in all areas of my fitness. All the coaches have been so helpful in identifying areas where I could improve my technique; whilst also pushing me to try bigger weights and new movements that I was apprehensive to give a go. The option to use two gyms also gives me so much flexibility to fit training in and around different aspects of my life. I would definitely recommend Dauntless to anyone considering CrossFit!

Fantastic experience: My kids do gymnastics and CrossFit here. Everyone is really welcoming and lovely and the kids thoroughly enjoy their classes.

Fantastic experience: My 8yrs old grandaughter had her first day there. She really enjoyed it.

Fantastic experience: This is an excellent gym, friendly with great training , having never done CrossFit before and being 50 I was apprehensive, no need the coaching is first rate and the team support you to push yourself but in a safe way

Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere. Friendly crowd. Safe training. Spot on.

Fantastic experience: Very good

Fantastic experience: Cannot fault Dauntless Fitness, the training programmes and their coaches. I have been coming to the gym for a while now and I love the variety of workouts they provide. The training schedules are both challenging and adaptable for all abilities, and the coaches encourage progression and provide quality advice/guidance in order to achieve individual goals. The culture and community at Dauntless is really positive and I can’t recommend it enough.

Fantastic experience: A brand new CrossFit gym in 2020 and already doing fantastically well. Nowhere else I’d rather be going to workout on the daily. Programming is top notch and the coaches are too. The atmosphere is always buzzing and all the members are so friendly, it’s a little fitness family!

Fantastic experience: Can't recommend this place enough! Was at a stalemate with my fitness, but since joining I've improved so much. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming! All levels are encouraged, a great community and place to work out!

Fantastic experience: I have put off joining a gym for years due to worry that I wouldn't be able to keep up or learn the lifts/equipment etc., let alone try a CrossFit class. Please don't let that stop you joining Dauntless. This is the most supportive environment I've ever trained in. The trainers are patient but still challenging and the other members of the classes are really welcoming. Highly recommended, I wish I'd joined months ago.

Fantastic experience: Since joining Dauntless I've felt completely at home. Each coach makes you feel welcome and part of a really friendly community. The programming is great and the coaches are always on hand to guide you on technique and to push you to your limit. I've enjoyed every session at dauntless, even cardio hardio tuesdays!
