Smarter Fitness: Opinions

Fantastic experience: I've been attending this gym for about 6 months now, and I couldn't be happier with my experience. The range of add-ons they offer, such as the app, seminars, and diverse client classes, adds incredible value for money. The PTs are extremely knowledgeable and genuinely care about their clients - they take the time to answer questions and explain the rationale behind training plans, which is great for nosey people like me :). The owners / coaches clearly invest in creating a welcoming and supportive atmosphere and that they encourage a friendly environment, as fellow members are always willing to help each other out, making it feel like a community. For someone like me who thrives on guidance, the workout plans are intuitive, well-thought-out, and perfectly tailored to my needs. Moreover, the gym is super clean and tidy, which adds to the overall positive experience. It's just an overall great place to train, surrounded by people who truly want you to succeed and enjoy being there. If you're looking for a gym that offers excellent support, a friendly community, and top-notch facilities, this is the place for you :)

Fantastic experience: I joined this gym for 2 years now. It’s been an amazing experience throughout my powerlifting journey. It’s a small peaceful and quiet gym at times that I go. I really like the atmosphere there especially when James plays his playlist I know most people don’t like it but you won’t get it anywhere else!! Thank you for your service at Smarter Fitness Gym best in Toon!!

Fantastic experience: Smarter Fitness gym has provided me with an exceptional experience. The welcoming atmosphere and strong sense of support have made me feel safe and motivated throughout my fitness journey. My personal trainer, Ash, deserves special recognition for his guidance over the past couple of years. His expertise not only makes short-term goals achievable but also paves the way for long-term success. I owe much of my progress and current well-being to the dedicated guidance of him and the overall positive environment at Smarter Fitness.

Fantastic experience: I joined this gym 3 months ago and so pleased I made the change from another I used to go to. This is a “ working gym” and the owners and staff are so helpful and friendly. I have PT sessions with Ash and very pleased with my progress.

Fantastic experience: I'm so happy I found this gym. The gym is excellent and the personal training is the real deal - you'll struggle to find better in Newcastle. Note you can join the gym without the personal training. I struggled to regain my progress for a while after lockdowns but the PTs here got me back on track and then pushed me further. The PTs are excellent - knowledgeable, passionate, motivating, organised and friendly. You also get access to an app containing your training plan, progress tracking, videos demonstrating each exercise and more. I used to have an excellent PT in London, after moving back to Newcastle I couldn't find a PT as good and was worried I wouldn't until I found this place - I can confirm this is the real deal. The gym on its own is excellent - friendly atmosphere, good music, the best equipment and it's always improving. Can't recommend this place enough - perfect for complete beginners as well as those with more experience looking to push to the next level. Definitely worth checking it out for yourself!

Fantastic experience: 60 Smarter is a great gym! I’d never done weightlifting before joining and was made to feel comfortable straight away. James makes an effort to welcome everyone coming in and there are always a range of people using the spaces. I subscribe to the Plus Membership which means I get a bespoke fitness plan, accessible in an app, to aid my progression. As a weight lifting newbie, this has enabled me to learn a range of different exercises and progress much more quickly than I could have done alone. The plan is highly personalised to account for my injuries and James is responsive if it needs amending. If you’re thinking about signing up, don’t hesitate!

Fantastic experience: I would absolutely recommend this Gym. The staff are very knowledgeable and always happy to answer questions or help members out. The people are such a friendly crowd and there's always something going on outside of gyming. A great community to be a part of. I've made some lovely friends here and always look forward to going. The equipment is fab compared to other gyms and I'm never waiting to get on anything. Lots of different membership options that are tailored to suit each person as well and everything can be recorded on an app so you can see your progress. Great place

Fantastic experience: Without a doubt the best gym in North tyneside. I've trained in most of the gyms around the area over the past 20 odd years, I found Smarter fitness about a year ago and wish I did earlier. It is the best gym around. It has a great range of weights, machines and quality equipment including some great speciality barbells. The staff are Knowledgeable, friendly and You Can tell they are passionate about helping people achieve their goals. It has a great bunch of members of all levels, everyone is encouraging to others bringing a great atmosphere to the place. If you are serious about training and achieving your health and fitness goals, this is the gym for you.

Jake 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great people, always willing to help. Bunch of classes if you want to try them out. Owners and PTs are actual humans and will have a chat to you like one. Lots of power racks, machines and there is always new equipment being brought in. Some of the photos on Google don't do it justice, the place looks much nicer now - have a look yourself. Solid. Go sign up. Nothing I'd change.
