Nuffield Health Gosforth Fitness & Wellbeing Gym - Newcastle upon Tyne

Dated equipment. No jacuzzi. Difficult to book classes as they are usually fully booked. You need to book at 6.59 am a week in advance. I wish something was done to improve this gym as it is going downhill.

PTs are nice and put a lot of effort - thw only reason I am still a member.

I've been a member a few years and just left last month. Nice facilities but not always the most modern, well maintained equipment/sound systems. Some areas in changing rooms tired and agree with reviews that shower door locks/magnets rarely worked in all of that time. Classes great and instructors even better. Convenient app booking system. Always clean. Permanent spa pool closure (under the guise of energy saving rather than cost saving) was a big disappointment together with charging to bring my young baby (previously free). Overall, my opinion (for my needs), I did not get value for money as it is significantly more expensive than most gyms. Expected a premium club experience but, on balance, got average.

Staff are all lovely that's the 1st positive . Sadly during the 3 years I've been a member no maintenance appears to have been done . Shower doors still don't close and the absence of the jacuzzi is a miss . I only really use the pool but I have to say it's a nightmare trying to get booked onto classes. Members have made suggestions but nothing has changed . I'll continue to try to get on classes but in all honesty it's becoming tiresome . I'm going to give it another 6 months and hope things improve . 4 stars are for the staff and the price I pay .

Very clean. Big gym. Great spa facilities. Loads of parking. Will probably need a car to get there but I see it as a positive as it has less younger adults which makes the gym less busy 😀

Just joined and this is a good gym and health club. Some of the equipment is dated, but does the job. Staff are great and there seems to be enough classes for most. Pool is clean and warm. Steam and sauna both available all day. The gym hasn't been too busy when I've been there.
Nuffield Health should be looking to invest on upgrades and a small refurb to this venue to keep pace with local competitors.

The reception staff are lovely and helpful , gym disappointing, almost impossible to book a class -always fully booked! Only managed to get to pilates class twice during the year! You need to be up at 7 am to book a class on their website otherwise all spaces gone within seconds! The pool staff rude and full of themselves ! The most appalling is that every morning bunch of 5-7 elderly men hijacking the slow lane in the swimming pool and they Do not swim just stroll in a group taking the whole width of the lane., so other members cannot swim past them! Many members asked them politely to swim in one lane clockwise as per instruction on the wall, they refused, with nasty attitude and very rude - staff does Nothing about it, members complained numerous times, one left for this reason- still nothing been done! Outrages, i thought swimming pool is for swimming, these unbelievably rude group of men just walking and talking! Absolutely unacceptable behaviour! I cancelled my membership - looks like management prefer to keep happy this rude group of men terrorising other members! Avoid this centre at any cost

Used this gym this week due to visiting family in the area, and I am glad | am not a member of this as my main gym as the CV equipment (which is turned on / working), is tired and in need of maintenance. Quite poor standards for a gym of this ilk. Again like a lot of other gyms in this group the spas seem to be permanently closed when other gyms are opening up with a full set of facilities Nuffield still charge full rates for reduced services!!!
I hope on my next visit the CV equipment has an update as this looks like the old CV equipment we had which must be nearly 10 years old or more.

Not sure where all the negative reviews have come from seeing that this is quite a decent Gym. It's not everyday you get a decent priced gym with a Sauna, Swimming pool and Cafe. It's very clean for a gym with a swimming pool, the locker rooms are also very clean.

The staff are all very lovely, helpful and do not come across unhelpful at all. Just ask and you shall receive.

All in all it's excellent.
