The Gym Group Newcastle East


The Gym Group Newcastle East is on Benton Road in the Heaton and Benton area of the city, with free parking on site. It opens at 6.30am and closes at 11pm, seven days a week, so it is not a 24-hour site. The cardio floor holds more than 50 machines, including 18 bikes, 13 Concept II rowers, 11 treadmills, nine cross trainers and three climbmills. Strength provision is strong for the size of the gym: seven plate-loaded stations, nine Olympic rigs and squat racks, dumbbells from 2kg to 50kg and five adjustable benches. There is a HIIT zone with kettlebells, a prowler track and sled, ski ergs and assault bikes, plus a glutes area with a hip thrust bench and glute drive. Free Wi-Fi, lockers and showers are provided. Fitness classes are included in membership, HYROX training is offered, and personal trainers are available on site.

  • Training for HYROX here
  • This gym has the equipment for 8 of 8 HYROX stations, counting kit that stands in for the real thing. 4 of those are the station's own equipment.
  • 1. SkiErg 1000m
    Not listed here, but this gym has kit that stands in. A rower trains the same pull and the same energy system, so it is the closest stand-in.
  • 2. Sled Push 4 x 12.5m
  • 3. Sled Pull 4 x 12.5m
  • 4. Burpee Broad Jumps 80m
    No equipment needed, so any gym with floor space can train it.
  • 5. Row 1000m
  • 6. Kettlebell Farmers Carry 200m
  • 7. Sandbag Lunges 100m
    Not listed here, but this gym has kit that stands in. A barbell across the back, or dumbbells at the sides, loads the same lunge.
  • 8. Wall Balls 100 reps
    Not listed here, but this gym has kit that stands in. A medicine ball against a solid wall, or dumbbell thrusters where no wall will take it.
