Coast Fit Gym North Shields

Fantastic experience: I’ve never EVER been a gym person - but San offers unique exercises in small groups, creating a real sense of community with real people. I’ll never go anywhere else!!

Fantastic experience: Can’t recommend Sam and Coastfit enough, I joined about 3 weeks ago and already my relationship with exercise has totally changed. I actually look forward to exercising now! It’s helped me get into a really good routine and I especially love how each class is completely different and really well planned and structured, so I can’t imagine ever getting bored! I can already notice improvements in my strength and I can’t wait to continue my journey! Sam is clearly a very knowledgeable and experienced trainer and makes sure your form/posture is good so you don’t injure yourself.

Fantastic experience: Sam is an amazing trainer. Since training with Sam I have become stronger, fitter and improved my core strength and balance. He is a really lovely guy who makes you feel at ease the minute you enter his gym..

Fantastic experience: Sam is a personable & experienced coach, he has built a lovely, friendly & calm environment to train in. I much prefer his small private facility over a regular gym. The small group sessions are tailored for every clients fitness & gym experience. Also, as an autistic person I would say it’s very inclusive too. Big thumbs up! Kezz x

Fantastic experience: Sam is excellent at what he does and makes classes/PT enjoyable. He tailors his approach depending on fitness levels so everyone can enjoy working out. Coastfit has a really nice community feel to it and the smaller class size makes it more personal. I would highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Sam is careful and thorough in his approach, building confidence in his methods. He changes up the style and format regularly, I've been going for over a year and never been bored. He listens to what you want to achieve, and makes the sessions fun. Strength training is for everyone, and hats off to Sam for making this accessible.

Fantastic experience: Had been really struggling to get back into an exercise routine due to an old injury and a demanding but sedentary job. I signed up with Coastfit after a friend's recommendation and it's totally changed my fitness and confidence with exercising. The PT sessions are excellent and great value, with support really focused on your needs and developing the right form to improve your mobility, strengh and to avoid injury in the future. The group classes are relatively small and include personal correction. I would definitely recommend anyone who wants to improve their fitness generally or who has specific fitness goals to sign up!

Fantastic experience: Sam is a great trainer and makes sure you get lots of support to get the most out of your work-outs. The classes are kept small to ensure this. The focus is very much on wellbeing and building strength safely with a relaxed friendly atmosphere. I have done lots of classes/gyms and this is the best instruction I have ever had. I feel much more confident using the gym now.

Fantastic experience: My husband and I attend shared PT sessions with Sam and we love them! Sam has got us enthusiastic about getting stronger and fitter. I love his focus on strengthening core and functional movement - I am always aware of my TVA now Sam's overarching ethos of supportive, personable coaching, liberally sprinkled with humour and patience, cannot be beaten.

Fantastic experience: Sam and the whole concept at Coastfit is amazing, I love training and doing weights but I hate Gyms and this is such a great balance between group training and one to one training. I get the support I need to make sure I don’t hurt myself and the benefit of training with other people without feeling too overwhelmed. Sam is really knowledgable on weight training and knows how important this is for women. I feel like my injuries are less frequent and I feel so much stronger!

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Coastfit for over a year now and I can honestly say that it has been the best decision of my life. The gym is clean, well-equipped and has a friendly atmosphere. The owner, Sam, is a certified personal trainer and surf instructor who offers expert support and guidance on fitness, strength, nutrition and well-being. He is always available to answer any questions, give feedback and motivate me to achieve my goals. He also designs personalised workout plans that suit my needs and preferences. He is very knowledgeable, professional and passionate about what he does. What I love most about coast fit is that it is not just a gym, but a community of like-minded people who share the same goals. If you are looking for a more personalised gym that offers more than just a place to work out, then I highly recommend Coast Fit. You will not regret it.

Fantastic experience: I was so impressed with Sam's skill, knowledge and experience. He totally got the measure of where I was at in my fitness and just gave me skills that I can take away and use. He was totally spot on in his assessment and his tact and personable approach were superb. Not your run of the mill PT - really inspiring and supportive.

Fantastic experience: I sought out Sam during lockdown to coach and train me. I found him via Google and the physical and mental approach of training on the beach really appealed. I was an overweight 50 year old with poor posture. Three months much fitter, moving better and slowly losing weight. Sam strikes exactly the right balance between supporting you and pushing you. Highly recommend. Thanks Sam.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic trainer, gentle motivation, encouraging, positive. Doesn’t shout or shame. Doesn’t feel like you’re really exercising but you are; your aches will tell you later. Great advice about living a healthier lifestyle without sounding as though he is preaching. Keen to share his breadth of knowledge to help his clients. A refreshing laid-back attitude. I can highly recommend Sam. After a bit of a mental wobble and not being in the right headspace I can’t wait to get back to it. And I speak as a lazy tubster who hates exercise!

Fantastic experience: Sam is such a fantastic trainer with a great depth of knowledge. His work with stretching and mobility has completely changed my exercise experience. I highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Coast Fit boasts an approachable, enthusiastic and knowledgable trainer who will guide you through your fitness needs. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Good trainers are hard to find and I'm so glad I found Sam - he's a FANTASTIC trainer!

Fantastic experience: Sam is a great trainer and his sessions are hard work but fun.

Fantastic experience: Sam is a fantastic trainer, really gets to know his clients, what their goals are, strengths and areas of improvement. He makes sure each session works you hard but is also enjoyable. He's ridiculously knowledgeable about all areas of health and wellbeing and you get so much more than just an exercise plan. Love this guy!

Fantastic experience: Sam is a great trainer and always makes training fun, hard and rewarding. I spent a great couple of years training with Sam and would recommend him to anyone looking to improve their well-being. I particularly enjoyed boxing with Sam; I never knew I would enjoy a workout so much despite it being pretty grueling.

Fantastic experience: Sam is just brilliant - I've never met a PT with the same approach to fitness as Sam... for him, it's more about well-being and having a realistic understanding of what's achievable. He has such an extensive knowledge about Anatomy & Physiology and has helped me look and think about my core strength in a completely new way. The pain & discomfort I suffer in my lower back has eased as the exercises I do are easy to follow but incredibly powerful. Sam is not your "get down and give me 50!!" type of PT, he is more like a coach who encourages you and tells you quietly to do it... but more importantly also tells you why you need to do it!! He has a great sense of humour and is an all round, genuinely lovely guy - I would highly recommend Sam and Coastfit to anyone who is serious about addressing their core strength, balance & flexibility - whatever you do with Sam will massively compliment any other activity you do... ☺️

Fantastic experience: Sam is a brilliant trainer. He has helped me to build strength, develop my core stability whilst learning good form and technique. He is knowledgable and amazing at what he does; always makes you feel things are achievable. Sam is a combination of tough, motivational, caring and personable. He takes the time to listen, develop individualised workouts and always brings a very uninhibited, real approach to each and every session. Because of his efforts I have become more resilient, stronger and determined but above all training has become fun. If you are serious about changing your preconceptions about exercise then I highly recommend Sam

Fantastic experience: Sam is a personal trainer for every-body! I had developed back issues and after seeing a physio, decided to do some sessions with Sam. He helped me understand where the back problems were coming from and what to do about it (not just stretches the physio advised, but strengthening). He knows his stuff and is just a lovely guy.

Fantastic experience: Really impressed with this training Sam really knows his stuff and totally tailored his support to what I needed - really easy to talk to and supportive trainer. He was really patient with understanding what I wanted to get out of things and all the online content is brilliant I would Highly recommend his service. Thanks again Sam :)

Fantastic experience: Fantastic trainer - great results!
