Fantastic experience: Awesome gym with a really good selection of equipment from Watson, prime, hammer strength and nautilus, and a few unique pieces. Has a leg room, a separate dumbell room, as well as a studio with Olympic lifting. Would highly recommend this gym, a pity that I couldn’t see and videos on YouTube as photos don’t this gym justice.

Paul Oakley 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Olympia is by far the best equipped gym I have ever been in. Lauren and her team have put in a lot of thought into what people actually need from a strength perspective right through to a functional training area for cardio, hyrox and CrossFit style training. Great vibe throughout soon as you walk in the door always greeted with a friendly face from the staff and has a real sense of community that is hard to find from other commercial gyms I have been a member of in the past. Super flexible offering day, weekly and monthly options. Couldn’t recommend Olympia enough, the equipment, facilities, people, feel are all second to none. A real hidden gem in west Newcastle!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym, the coaches are amazing , always there to help you. The classes are excellent and the equipment in the gym is second to none! All ages and abilities are welcomed. Give Olympia a visit you won’t regret it!

Paul Mansell 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I have trained in many gyms from small private gyms to big commercial gyms and Olympia is the best gym I have used. The equipment is second to none, mega investment going back into the gym all the time to help members train better. The staff are all well trained and always available to help but more importantly it is a community of people who all want everyone to be their best. I hear the coffee is pretty good too.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym! Always a friendly atmosphere, staff and members are always willing to help if you if needed. I signed up to Olympia gym nearly 3 years ago (by far the longest I’ve stayed committed in a gym) and can’t imagine ever leaving. If you want to train somewhere that’s friendly, isn’t intimidating, loads of different ages/abilities, has great equipment, classes & coaches you need to give Olympia a try

Fantastic experience: Mint place to go and train. Has everything you need and more to achieve your goals, superb new equipment in a spacious training area, class new studio for groups and CrossFit style workouts. Staff are all super friendly and Lauren the owner very approachable and knowledgeable. Will 100% be back to train here again. If you’re in the Newcastle/Northumberland area… I’d absolutely go and check this place out.

Amy Hutchinson 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have always been really scared and intimidated to join a gym, I got told I had todo something to build strength. At first I was super scared, after meeting the team down at Olympia I can honestly say I am super grateful to the team for Being patient, understanding and also educating me in the right way how to do the exercises and not to damage myself. Thank you Lauren and your brilliant team I wish all gyms were that welcoming and understanding, we would have a much healthier society.

Fantastic experience: This gym is a real credit to itself. Through lockdown when gyms were losing equipment and closing down, they expanded massively, brand new equipment throughout the gym with a great range of machine and free weights. Great coaches and friendly members. I would 100% recommend

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this place! I was nervous about going back into training after a long break during pregnancy but I felt welcomed at Olympia the moment I stepped in through the doors. There is a lovely community vibe and, the staff are extremely friendly and very helpful, the facilities are great with plenty of variety and the place is always kept clean and tidy.

Ismail Ali 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Without doubt the best gym in Newcastle. Forget the chain gyms and invest in supporting independent businesses like Olympia. The gym itself is first class, with exceptional machines (top of the range Watson and Hammer Strength) for your isolation exercises and a huge selection of free weights including some stunning Olympia dumbbells. The atmosphere is one of the most welcoming you can find, with beginners and seasoned pros all sharing the common goal of improving themselves. The team are super supportive and always willing to help. A real community vibe

Ruby Aujla 2 years ago

Thomas Davison 3 years ago

Positive experience: Really good gym, dumbells could do with updating/kept in better order but that's down to members as well. The weekend opening hours are the biggest issue for me, 9am especially on a Saturday is a late start if you have any sort of plans relatively early considering it also shuts at 2.

Kyle Seymour 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Moved to Olympia a few months ago and it was the best decision that I've made within the last few months, equiqment is great and the staff are sound. If you're looking to move gyms or start brand new then Olympia is the place to be.

Fantastic experience: Felt a little uneasy at the thought of going to a gym as it was way out my comfort zone….. From the moment I arrived I was made to feel welcome and comfortable straight away.

Sioven Landers 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I was looking for a gym so I could begin my weight training journey and Olympia stood out to me because of how clean and well organised it looked in all the pictures I’d seen. I also got in touch with Lauren, the owner who immediately helped me out with finding a PT (Caroline) for my needs. I’ve always been quite intimidated to go to the gym on my own because of “big scary gym lads” but every time i’ve been, the gym goers at Olympia have been lovely. The atmosphere of the gym itself makes you feel safe because someone is always around if you need help with anything and the equipment is well maintained. Also helps that everything is colour coordinated and pretty. Definitely recommend Olympia if you’re looking for a safe and friendly environment for your fitness journey.

Sammie D Power lifter 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym. I feel super comfortable lifting here, everyone is super friendly and helpful. But most of all allow you the space to get your workout done. Lauren really listens to what her members need and Caroline's classes are fantastic (all coaches are great). Highly recommend to anyone in the area.

Matthew Walker 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I've had the pleasure of watching Olympia Gym grow and develop over the last 10 years. Lauren has created one of the best gyms in Newcastle. She's always reinvesting in the gym with very high quality, brand new equipment which goes to show how much she cares for her members. They also offer 121 coaching & structured group training programs in a dedicated room, which is fantastic for those who want to train with like minded individuals alongside extra support and guidance. This isn't just a gym - it's a community!

Matty 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Best gym in the west end of newcastle by far. Really good range of new matching equipment. You don’t get your usual meatheads screaming from lifting 20kg dumbbells here, great bunch of staff and people training here.

Craig Tippins 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I was looking for a new gym, having lost motivation and interest with all of the other more mainstream gyms over the past few years. I was finding it hard to stick to it, having to force myself to go and then not training properly when I was there - lack of options for training around other gym users, different types of people from me and was just finding myself frustrated really. I decided to give Olympia Gym a try, having never been in there before and not knowing exactly what it would be like. I’ve been nothing but impressed with the gym. I would describe it as a “proper gym”. They have a massive range of machines, some modern and refreshingly some proper old school equipment too. It caters for anyone wanting to do proper lifting and there are multiple options for training the same muscle groups, making it easier to train around other gym users or if you want to mix up your equipment/training to keep it fresh. I’ve honestly got my mojo back since I joined here, and I’ve already been more times to this gym than I did the other gyms in the past year!! I’ve just been again there this morning and I’m absolutely buzzing from it… can’t wait to go again! There are boxing bags, a cardio room and other things that I haven’t even used yet (just concentrating solely on weight training at the moment), so there’ll be something for everyone here but especially if you want to put some muscle on, get yourself down there!!

GregsGingerHair 115 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great gym with a great atmosphere! Like a home from home. Whether you're there to lose weight, gain muscle or just keep yourself fit and healthy. Olympia provides in every aspect, with a large variety of weights and equipment, machines and cardio machines. From friendly staff and a great choice of classes and one to one training, or if you want to just go in and do it your way. Olympia has everything you need to achieve, as well as plenty great members that are more than happy to give you a spot if you need one! It's one of the main reasons I've personally came here to work out for years and wouldn't go anywhere else. Do yourself a favour and train at Olympia. Join the Olympians.
