The Forum Harbourside: Opinions
Positive experience: As a visitor from Sydney, I can only compare this to my local gym experience. Firstly, there is no air conditioning because the site is heritage listed. This can be good or bad. I think sweating can be very motivating! There is a good selection of equipment, but it's sardine-canned in, creating a few hazards. The stretch area is brilliant- full of resources, showing that they do take patron health seriously. Their main selling point, the social aspect, I found to be absent. In three visits I saw one trainer. My local trainers are always in the gym, looking out for patrons who might be struggling with form, and there is a leaderboard for the WOD. I think more could be done in this area. I will go back, but only as a visitor, not a regular.
Fantastic experience: The gym is well equipped, clean and and spacious. The staff are super friendly and helpful.
Positive experience: Good space, equipment not as flash as the uni side ♂️
Fantastic experience: Positive: Quality
Fantastic experience: The staff here are very friendly and they take COVID really seriously , they are all wearing masks, wiping down equipment constantly and keeping an eye on social distancing.
Positive experience: Covid-19 update. Advanced booking necessary, also bring own towel while using gym.
Fantastic experience: Great gym. Great staff classes are awesome
Positive experience: The gym is ok, missing a ‘vibe’ compared to other gyms. Class instructors are always great. They haven’t discounted their fees like other gyms despite reduced services during COVID.
Positive experience: Its bit smaller than university's gym but, will get the stuff done anyway
Positive experience: Pretty nice, friendly staff, missing a few basics (trap bar) but there's always the Forum at the uni which is included in your membership. All in all it has almost everything you need if you know what you're doing
Fantastic experience: I had such a good experience with this gym. I went there for two years and do not have a bad thing to say. The staff are always lovely, friendly and helpful. Trainers are happy to give workout suggestions or answer any questions. Group fitness classes were always good and the instructors were fun and kept the classes interesting and motivating (Damara, Blake, Alan). I felt part of a community at The Forum and already miss it since leaving Newcastle!

Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere
Fantastic experience: Love the friendliness and expertise of the staff together with the availability of morden facilities and the location of the gym-after a high intensity workout one can go to the habour side to enjoy the beautiful scenery while cooling down
