Negative experience: Hi sorry I got to put this on here just not happy with this company at all if you sign up be careful when you want to cancel your membership when you ring up and what they do they give you the wrong information over the phone it’s so hard to cancel your membership when they tell you you don’t need to pay anything else then 24 days later come back and tell you have pay for the month after too is shocking why can’t they tell you the right info I understand why on here they taken off reviews because I know they be loads out there for this gym

Fantastic experience: Solid gym with nice staff , great choice of machines and its rarely packed
Hi kacper thank you for posting your positive review. We're so glad to hear the team made your experience with us so great. We will make sure they know and can't wait to see you again in the gym soon.
Negative experience: The gym itself is good but haven’t been able to go for ten months due to illness, still payed though, and I’ve chosen to cancel and will end up paying £50 in total to cancell a gym I can’t attend due to illness. Surely the ten months I payed without attending is enough?
Fantastic experience: Visited today while visiting relatives in gateshead Great gym lovely atmosphere Great kit
Hi Emily, so glad to hear you enjoyed your time with us! we hope to see you again soon!
Fantastic experience: My brother and I have been training here for a while now and can firmly say that out of every commercial/chain gym in Newcastle/Gateshead, this is by far my favourite! I normally do not like training at commercial gyms as they are often too busy, lack specialist equipment for particular types of training (e.g, calisthenics) and often have a very robotic/unhuman environment. HOWEVER, Anytime Fitness goes against the usual commerical gym stereotype. Contrary to what other reviews have said, this gym is rarely at full capacity, and you have more than enough space/equipment to work with. Lets put it this way... At TheGym and Puregym, you almost always have to ask to work in with others during peak times, and I have never had to ask to do this here. They accommodate for a variety of training styles with a calisthenics area, boxing equipment, freeweights, cardio, machines/cables ect. There are private changing/showering cubicals, so gone are the days of old men flashing at you in the locker rooms. And last but not least, the staff here make training at this gym feel less like the "corporate" enviroment most commercial/chain gyms offer, and they actually provide a personal touch. Regular chats, advice, checkups. Shoutout to Gary, Angela, Laura and Josh for being such an approachable team, and always being focused on their members progression. There is so much more I could say about this gym but I'll let you show up and find out for yourself. Big love, Leo
Hello Leo, thank you for your feedback. We're happy to know that you've had a great experience with us and look forward to your next visit.
Fantastic experience: I like the fact I can go at anytime
Hello Sandra, thank you for your feedback. We're happy to know that you've had a great experience with us and look forward to your next visit.
Negative experience: The price of the gym membership is exaggerated in relation to the size of the gym. The gym is very small and has limited equipment. I do not know why they sell memberships, make discounts, and bring many people free and knowing that the gym does not accommodate this number of people!!!. The gym is busy at all times except in the morning 4:00am so If you David Goggins You will adapt to this gym.. Compared to the pure gym next to it, it is better, cheaper and bigger.
Hi Moh, thank you for your review. We're sorry to hear you've had a negative experience with us. We'd love to find out more to see if there's anything we can do for you and would appreciate it if you reached out to one of the team via email or phone.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been there
Hi Dillwash! Thank you for your review! looking forward to seeing you around the club!
Fantastic experience: Staff are really helpful and have everything in the gym you can think of, so able to do every kind of workout you want to do
Hello iain, thank you for your feedback. We're happy to know that you've had a great experience with us and look forward to your next visit.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been attending the gym for over a year now and this all started with my personal trainer Sarah, who was absolutely amazing. I then officially became a member in November after gaining the confidence to start off on my own with thanks to Reese. Reese has particularly helped support my fitness journey with available support to answer any questions with regards to my training. I feel valued as a member and absolutely love attending this gym, I often call in the office for chats and I’m always greeted with a smile. I would like to thank Reese and all the staff at Anytime fitness for this wonderful experience. Thank you! X
Thank you for this glowing review Angela, our staff and personal trainers work hard to ensure a positive experience for our members. All the best.
Fantastic experience: A well-equipped gym, the staff are friendly and professional and the 2hrs free parking in Trinity Sq too is a bonus. Gary and the team always try to keep the members engaged and I promise at some point to try a member challenge ..
Hi Sophia thank you for posting your positive review. We're so glad to hear the team made your experience with us so great. We will make sure they know and can't wait to see you again in the gym soon.
Fantastic experience: A really well maintained and excellently equipped gym. I only go at non peak times and it's extremely empty when I go. No waiting for equipment or overcrowding issues at all which is the norm at most other gyms. Membership is adequately priced imo as you get what you pay for. The cheaper gyms around are cheap for a reason. I've been with anytime fitness for many years and it's because the quality is evident. I've only had brief interaction with the staff and they were extremely helpful and pleasant. Lovely gentleman showed me how to use the car ticket machine and everyone always has a smiley exterior - this may seem like a small point but it has a huge impact on newbies and people coming in. The gym can be extremely intimidating and there are alot of stereotypes about "gymbros" so to see helpful and nice staff helps welcome people. The toilets are well cleaned and presented and 2 hours free carparking makes the gym incredibly accessible. There are no negatives about this gym in my opinion as it provides all the expected amenities. Only improvement i could potentially mention is perhaps a better "chill out" area, maybe a sofa, more tables and perhaps a microwave that I've seen at other anytime fitnesses although space may be an issue. But that's really reaching for improvements and maybe being a little greedy and desiring perfection. Overall 10/10

Thank you for your review. Don't hesitate to reach out to one of our staff if you ever need anything!
Fantastic experience: A well-equipped and maintained gym. Friendly and professional staff and 2hrs free parking in Trinity Sq too during the charged hours before 6pm.

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym, load of machines & helpful staff!

Fantastic experience: Great Gym, staff always friendly & available for any questions. Convenient for time as it’s open 24-7
Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review Craig! Much appreciated :)
Negative experience: I received the shock of the year and blackmail from anytime fitness, I have only been to the gym once and I did direct debit for the monthly plan, but since the ist day I went there, I have not been there because I don’t like their hospitality and i don’t have the time to go again. But I was surprised when they said I am in arears which I paid and I told them I want to exit the contract, but they said they can’t cancel until I have proof of illness or moving.I had to pay .we agreed to freeze my account which they did till December But was surprised when they gave me another bill in December to pay. Now they sent me a bill of £122 on feb 5 and reported me to ccs collect i received a letter this feb 22 morning that anytime fitness said I am owing £395.40, which is ridiculous. If you want to rip people off,do it in a way that is human.if you are sure of the services you render, why bind people to a contract that most people are not aware of.as you know that this is important why not emphasis on it when people are signing the contract. I stand on it that I was not aware of this ridiculous contract which doesn’t have an exit plan.and it is very very painful to be requesting , threatening and forcefully collecting money from people without using your services
Hi, thanks for your review. Our contracts are explained in full to all new members, and we never wish for things to escalate to arrears hence our very thorough follow up process. If you require assistance please email: [email protected]
Positive experience: This is a great gym. Regular staff are super friendly and helpful. Brilliant community. Gym is never crowded, good range of equipment, excellent free weight space. Clean with great changing rooms. I love it. It only misses 5 stars due to the two PTs who are utterly uninterested in acknowledging your existence unless you’re an 18 year old female and otherwise all around with faces on. They don’t impact your workout but it does detect from the generally welcoming atmosphere. Best gym in Gateshead easily.
Hi, thank you for taking the time to leave a review and provide some feedback. We're glad you're enjoying your time with us, and we'd love to know how we can make it better. You mention the PT's who clientele typically are young females as with their niche at the moment. I'd love to set you up with a complimentary session with one of our coaches. If interested, please email me at [email protected] and ref 'Free PT'
Fantastic experience: Ok few bad vibes today
Thanks for the review William!
Fantastic experience: I've tried a few gyms in Gateshead and this gym is definitely the best I've been to. The staff are very friendly and helpful if you have any questions, which is always good for people new to the gym. It has a good mixture of male and female members and staff as well as male and female PTs and is not as intimidating as some gyms can be. The staff run friendly competitions and highlight members on their social media accounts which are worth a follow. For a gym that is smaller than many others it packs in a lot of equipment and is actually a lot better equipped than the others I have tried with several cable machines, TRX, and all the resistance machines you could need. I usually don't have to wait long for equipment but with only two bars and racks for squat, deadlift, and bench press these are usually in use so have to replan my workout on occasion. There is also a lack of adjustable and flat benches to use as an alternative. There is always cardio equipment available, though. Apart from this it's the quietest gym I've ever been to and it's usually a pleasure to visit. The membership rates are very competitive, it's open 24 hours and conveniently located in the centre of Gateshead. Free parking in Trinity Square is available to members.
Hi Christopher, thanks for taking the time to leave us a review, it means a lot and we're very happy to hear that you're enjoying your time with us! If there is anything we can do to assist you with your goals just let us know and we'd bee happy to help!
Fantastic experience: The gym is really clean with plenty of equipment for many different excercises for all body parts. A staff member is available all the normal working hours to help with any questions. A really positive is that the gym is rarely busy so you can really take advantage of most of the equipment. Also if you're planning to be away for some time you can just freeze your membership so you're not paying while you're not using the gym.
Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review Kostas, we really appreciate your feedback. Please do let us know if there is anything we can do to assist you further with your training!
Fantastic experience: Great gym with friendly staff, not too busy even at peak times so you're not waiting around for machines/weights. Highly recommend!
Thanks Jordan! We're really glad to hear you enjoy working out here with us. Grab a member of the team should you need any assistance at any point.
Fantastic experience: A big shout out to my mate Andy at the Gateshead Anytime fitness! This location is the best Anytime Fitness I've been to in the US or Europe. Very well maintained, spacious and ample equipment for a great workout.
Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review Tyler! It was great having you in club, you're welcome through our doors any time.
Negative experience: I am really disappointed. Not happy at all.
Sorry to hear this. If you'd like to elaborate we'd love to assist you. Just email us at [email protected]
Fantastic experience: Awesome environment, friendly people, never too busy to get your workout routine in! Highly recommend!
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review Adrian, it means a lot! Let us know if we can support your goals in any way!
Fantastic experience: Really welcoming gym, I’m always quite anxious about gyms because I’ve had bad experiences (over crowding, rude members and staff) but I feel comfortable here! There’s so much available too and staff are so helpful and don’t look down on you when you ask how to use things. Definitely the best gym in the area/north east! Great experience.
We really appreciate you taking the time to review us Cameron! Very happy to hear you're enjoying your experience with us. if there is anything we can do help facilitate your goals please do let us know!
Fantastic experience: Excellent variety of machines and cardio equipment, friendly staff too!
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughts!
Fantastic experience: here to ask if this gym accept cash upfront instead of card payments?
Hi Harris, we do have memberships which don't require direct debits. Why don't we get you down to club sometime soon to show you around? You can request a tour at [email protected]
Negative experience: Can't knock the gym premises or equipment as they're top notch. Trying to cancel my memberships for myself and my wife after the year long contract had ended was not such a smooth and pleasant experience as firstly I was forced to pay another month at full price at a total of £65.90, I didn't argue with this as I couldn't be bothered with the hassle of complaining. After cancelling my direct debits I was contacted by the gym asking mè for permission to reinstate the direct debits to keep the membership cancellation up to date on their end and I was ensured no further funds would be taken from my bank. Well as you can probably guess this was a blatant lie and I was billed another month at full price for both memberships. I have again cancelled the direct debits and I am now receiving texts and emails from the gym threatening that if I do not reinstate the direct debits I will build up arrears because of missed payments and this will affect my credit rating. Its an absolute joke and I definitely won't be returning.
Hi, sorry to hear the cancellation process wasn't a smooth experience for you. We try to make it as painless as possible in all instances. It seems like your cancellation with the bank caused some confusion. If you're still having issues please contact the club directly and we will look to resolve this for you as soon as possible.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been training here for the last 4 months and I am really impressed with the precautions that are put in place for COVID. The gym is clean and spacious and never too busy to train efficiently. I’ve noticed all members cleaning the equipment before and after use and the staff are always friendly and polite.
Hi Kayleigh, thank you for your kind words. we're really glad to hear we've lived up to your expectations! If there is anything myself nd the team can do to help facilitate your goals in club please don't hesitate to reach out! :)
Fantastic experience: Really can't say enough good things about this place. Andy, Nichola and the team are fantastic apologies for those not directly mentioned. The gym is top notch with superb kit and facilities, well looked after and well maintained. I really can't recommend this place enough. In my opinion its the best in the locality of gateshead and Newcastle City Centre .
Thank you for your kind words James. We really appreciate you taking the time to spread positivity! I'm very happy to we're able to provide a service you enjoy. Should you need any support myself and the team are always on hand to assist!
Negative experience: I have been currently working away in newcastle. As I like to keep fit I always try to find a gym when I'm away from home and I found this gym.I applied for the 3 day trial and got told it was ok until I turned up and they said no so had to pay £7.50 for the session. I just think it's a joke how they charge £7.50 a session, as I was going in 3-4 nights a week! Theres nothing that caters for people who are working away from home!
Hi John, sorry to hear of your experience. Unfortunately free 3 day passes are for those interested in joining the club. Single uses are charged. Anytime Fitness is a worldwide brand with 174+ other clubs in the UK alone. You should know that a membership here covers our members for use worldwide so we often see those that travel for work join us. If that interests you next time you're in the area we'll schedule you a free trial and gratis health assessment.
Fantastic experience: I used to go to this gym before we moved abroad and we loved how comfortable it was, the views and the team. I miss it so much!
We'd have you back in a heartbeat :)
Fantastic experience: I've moved over from puregym, it's worth the extra cost to have a more comfortable training session. Due to having a lower membership your never waiting around for equipment, there no one eye balling the bench for when your done. The staff are friendly and will happily help you out and always keen to give advice 24 hours a day so no excuses not to get back into the routine of things
Thank you for you kind words Craig! Glad we can provide for you. Should you need any extra support in achieving your goals just let us know :)
Fantastic experience: Attended the gym for 3 years and whenever I've used another gym if travelling it just doesn't compare.
Thank you for you kind words Joshua! It's a pleasure having you, please let us know if we can help support your goals in any way.
Fantastic experience: Joined this gym when I moved into Baltic Quay, the pure gym up the road was another option but I really preferred the smaller, chilled out vibe at anytime fitness. Great equipment, lovely friendly staff and never too busy despite it not being the biggest gym! An added bonus that the communication during COVID times has been great and the re-opening has gone smoothly with all members I’ve seen adhering to advice about cleaning etc - highly recommend!
Thanks Natalie! We appreciate you taking the time to spread some kind words :)
Fantastic experience: Great 24/7 gym. Really good modern gym equipment and also very friendly gym staff. Gym is always clean and presentable especially in these strange Covid times! Highly recommended
Thanks Simon! We're glad to hear you're enjoying your time at club :)
Fantastic experience: Lovely staff. Very welcoming. Clean and tidy. Recommended to anyone

Fantastic experience: Great gym and staff.
Positive experience: A good gym
Hi Wayne, Thanks for your review. We always strive toward getting 5 stars. Is there anything we can do better to improve? Kind Regards James General Manager
Negative experience: A big window for people to attempt to show themselves off to passers by..
We are all inclusive at Anytime Fitness and we appreciate your feedback, we can look to address the issue moving forwards.
Fantastic experience: Just wanted to thank staff or gym goers who gave us access to facilities at the gym for our friend who had a reaction to her Parkinson’s medication when driving back from the theatre! Having already been refused to use facilities at the car park we were in we drove to the nearest place which would still be open on a Saturday evening! Thank you very much, your empathy was much appreciated.
Thank you for the review Ann. We hope your friend is feeling better now. I would love to offer you some free guest passes for you and your friends to try out our facility! Kind Regards James General Manager
Fantastic experience: Great service and friendly staff
Thanks for your review Imran! We would love to offer you some free guest passes for your friends/family as a thank you! Pop into the office to register these. Kind Regards James General Manager
Fantastic experience: Good location, excellent equipment, friendly staff, plenty of availability. Responsive to the current covid issues and supporting members to safely use the facilities. Great gym.
Thank you for your kind words Graeme! We're glad you're enjoying your time at the club!
Positive experience: Fine
Negative experience: I paid for an entire year, I went for half a year then due to work I could not go anymore to gym, when I asked for a refund they said that I paid cash and when you pay cash you are unable to get a refund back. LOL. AVOID!!
Negative experience: Staff is unfriendly
Positive experience: Preturi reduse si sport in performanta
Negative experience: **TRAPPED IN CONTRACT** do not join this gym. I was lied to when joining and told I could end the contract if I moved away. When I came to ending the contract they told me I could not because I was moving somewhere else that had an anytime fitness in the area. Staff and managers admitted to me that the woman who told me the information when i joined had been repeatedly giving false information to customers and had now (rather conveniently) left the company. I am now stuck in this contract and the gym were not helpful at all in this distressing situation where, as a student, it is costing me lots of money when I can’t even use the gym!
Fantastic experience: رائع
Positive experience: Not bad
Positive experience: Great gym, excellent staff. There for when u need a helping hand. Highly recommend Jen for any type of PT sessions.
Fantastic experience: 24 hours, well equipped, reasonably priced.
Negative experience: It's just a sausage fest, smelly, gym equipment stained with sweat... Just not the caliber of gym I would work out in...
Fantastic experience: Amazing Club, not busy at all and very good quality equipment!
Fantastic experience: Nice and tidy gym with lots of great equipment. Very good location with parking and the staff is outstanding. Best gym I've ever been a member at.
Fantastic experience: I have been to numerous gyms in the area but this is my favourite by far! They have the best equipment and the staff are extremely helpful and friendly. It's a really great gym to be a member of and they have really delivered on some of the suggestions that have been made to improve the club. I can't recommend this gym enough, and the fact i can workout WHENEVER I WANT is awesome!!
