Fantastic experience: Came to Coalface on a freebie from a friend Stayed at Coalface for the 5am Classes, Good Vibes and Good People The immediate warm welcome just made it easy to feel like part of the regular crew. Since I primarily am a runner, and attend Coalface conpliment my run training, it'd be easy to feel on the outer. Not the case, I feel like Sam and the crew actually value having me there

Fantastic experience: Dropped in for a couple of sessions when visiting the area for work. The gym has a great open space with natural light, friendly coaches and community who were welcoming. Clean bathrooms, good equipment. Could do with some new ab-mats! Thanks for having me Coalface!

Felicity Stevenson 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I was looking for a gym that I could train hard but not feel intimidated, with some social, fun members. I found that at Coalface. BONUS the coffee and service at Coalies is top notch! Sam and the coaches at Coalface have helped me enjoy training again. They focus on getting the right technique during training and help with scaling options for injuries or when you just can’t quite do the movement correctly. The other members at the gym have been welcoming and encouraging, making it a great training atmosphere.

Daniel Smith 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve been to a few CrossFit and functional fitness gyms and this the most fun and welcoming gym I’ve ever been to. The Coalface community is so inclusive and made up of so many people of different skill levels that it doesn’t matter what your goals are, you feel at home.

The Coalface Gym

Love it! That’s the goal. Any and all, no matter the skill/ fitness level.Cheers Dan!!!

Jay Ooi 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I did a couple of drop ins here, great gym, we had Antonia as our coach, who was welcoming, knowledgeable and checked we were okay with the movements. The people were also lovely - we had a few that came up and introduced themselves and said hello. Gym was quite large with plenty of space for everyone. Barbells are on the older side but are perfectly fine. A nice warm up space as well if you’re early. Will definitely drop in the next time I’m in town.

The Coalface Gym

Thanks for the review Jay, really happy you enjoyed your visit!Welcome back anytime.Sam and the team.

Fantastic experience: I was in town on business, Guy was incredibly helpful, enthusiastic and just nice! The vibe of the whole gym mirrored his lead and everyone was encouraging and welcoming. Facilities are first class - custom barbells didn’t go unnoticed - the little things that make a good gym great were all there. 10 out of 10, I’d consider moving to Newcastle just to go to the gym more!

Fantastic experience: Just did a one off drop in. Great gym. CrossFit class was loads of fun. Really welcoming atmosphere. Guy was great, members were friendly. They gym has all the normal CrossFit equipment plus loads of heavy weights (up to 60kg DB!) and loads of strongman stuff too (yokes/atlas stones etc). Also had a room with pre-programmed mobility program (RomWod). Loads of space, coffee shop attached and an awesome gym dog to boot. Stop here if you are in town for sure!
