Friendly, Inclusive Community Gyms in the West End of Newcastle

Healthworks Gym is a friendly, low-cost community gym designed to support people of all ages and fitness levels. With commercial-grade equipment, a relaxed atmosphere, and a no-judgement approach, we make it easier to feel confident and supported in your fitness journey.

As a not-for-profit gym, every penny we make is reinvested into our local services, helping improve health and wellbeing across the North East. If you’re looking for a welcoming, friendly and affordable alternative to commercial gyms, Healthworks Gym always puts people before profit.

I thought gyms were just for young fit people and that people wouldn’t speak to each other.  I couldn’t have been more wrong. I found it a welcoming, friendly Gym which was a pleasure to come to. The staff were so supportive and motivating throughout. There’s a really good social aspect too and I have got to know lots of new people.
