Fantastic experience: Love being here, excellent equipment, friendly staff. What I love the most was the classes, has taught me to not try and destroy my body every workout but to respect that it takes time to see results. Couldn't recommend these guys more

Caleb Henderson 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I trained at Watt St for about a year and only left as I moved away. The group training offering is top notch with plenty of variety for all levels of experience. Gym itself is super modern and clean. Staff are very supportive and have created a great community environment. Would highly recommend becoming a member at Watt St if you are looking to join a gym.

Lucy Miller 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Really enjoyed my experience so far. Demi really looked after me in my trial week and I've enjoyed the programs she has provided. Having a gym membership where programs were included was essential for me so I didn't have to take on the mental load of figuring out what to do when I get there. Demi listened to what other sport I do and what my goals were and the programs seem aligned with that understanding. The gym is a nice clean space, doesn't appear full of ego, quiet and calm but friendly. Lots of equipment and options.

Melissa McLean 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Adrian and his team are absolutely fantastic. He is by and far the best EP I have been to. He and hisnteam are amazing at working within any physical limitations you may have to give the best result and improve overall function. The gym is well equipped, and the staff and clientele are welcoming to all. Highly recommend giving them a go whether you are recovering from injury, have a chronic condition, are looking for personal training or are looking for your new gym fornsolo training. You won't be disappointed.

Geoff Davy 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Having only recently moved to Newcastle, I wanted a gym that was supportive to their individual client needs but also created a space that was inclusive, non-judgemental and had a great culture. WSA is exactly this space. Locally owned, husband and wife duo, along with their support staff who all have years of industry experience and knowledge, have a created an excellent facility that can meet anyone's health and fitness goals. Conveniently located downtown and split over two levels, the gym boasts brand new, top of the line gym equipment. Downstairs there is a mix of cardio, plate loaded and machine weight equipment, including an area for Olympic lifts. Upstairs, where they run a variety of group fitness classes, has an assortment of cardio equipment including, the skill mill, assault air bike, ski erg and rower, as well as dumbbells, kettlebells, foam plyometric boxes, TRX bands and dead balls. If you want a gym that harbours an inclusive and non-pretentious culture who support their members, look no further than WSA.

Daniel Gleeson 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Joined Watt St due to the flexibility of having both classes and individual gym access. Everything is brand new and the space has been designed for effective training. Everyone I have worked out with has been amazing and works as part of a team. Thanks Ado, Demi, Cam and Emma for welcoming me, and pushing me to set new goals!

Leisa Cameron 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: CBD location, new fit-out, great equipment and super clean. I like the flexibility of no contract lock ins and being able to access the gym at times that suit me. Congrats Adrian and Demi.

Adam McC 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Battered but not down. Before meeting Adrian and Demi I was in recovery mode (big C), was walking 1km with aid of stick. In the past 6 weeks I have been pushed to do things I would never have through of (I am not into gyms). No two sessions with Adrian have been the same. I am now able to balance better, just completed a slow 6km jog -- I blame the team at WSA, I may be stubborn, but they gave me the tools to progress. Always happy and smiling, especially it seems when they are pushing me,. Their help has been fantastic and put me on a path that only 8 weeks age looked unlikely.

Stace Hall 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of a few gyms in Newcastle and the UK, and Watt St Athletic is by far the best. I have the membership which includes the classes, Demi, Ado and the team are a great crew, with no expectations but will encourage you to be your best self, whilst providing the best advise and support. All while being a part of a gym family, other members alike make the whole experience challenging and most importantly, fun.

Emily 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: It may sound cliche, but this gym is more than just a gym. Ado and Demi have created an environment which enables everyone to achieve their own goals but be a part of the team every step along the way. After a few years out of the exercise game and struggling to find motivation, I joined WSA and am now at my fittest, happiest and healthiest I’ve ever been, all just after a few months. Not to mention I’ve met so many incredible people along the way. This place is full of absolute legends and I’d recommend it to anyone at any level.

Fantastic experience: WSA is exactly Watt (heh) was missing in Newcastle's CBD! Brand new equipment, the friendliest of staff and unlike every other gym I've tried - doesn't smell like a gym bag science experiment. Demi, Ado and the team are the most welcoming crew and are always more than happy to suggest some good training tips. Couldn't be happier with my membership!

Liam Porter 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Really enjoying this gym! Located in Newcastle East, it's conveniently close to home, and membership is still at a great price. The space is more intimate than most gyms, and is owned and operated by the extremely friendly and welcoming couple Demi and Ado. There's an attention to knowing names and creating community among members.

Sarah Hovanyecz 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: WSA is more than just another gym. Ado and Demi have created a community of like minded individuals from all different backgrounds who share a common interest in health and fitness. Everyone at WSA is super friendly and encouraging. I have made so many new friends in the few months I have been at WSA which makes going to the gym fun. The classes are challenging and the trainers will help you to push yourself further than you thought possible, but the team environment makes it so much easier to do. The positivity of everyone at the gym is contagious and makes you want to get up every morning and get to the gym!!

Fantastic experience: Watt St have created something very unique when it comes to gym’s and group training in Newcastle. They’ve created a team environment, a place where you focus on your own goals but are surrounded and supported by a group of friendly, encouraging people and knowledgeable trainers. Watt St has taught me to get out of my comfort zone, try new things and push myself that little bit further each time. Each class has something new and challenging. Having access to the gym area outside of classes is also handy!

Fantastic experience: Great gym close to residents on the Newcastle East end. New equipment and a great vibe to the gym because the Staff is great. The gym is expanding with addition of equipment. Im loving the experience so far.

Anna Creecy 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I started with Watt St When they first opened a few months ago in the hopes of finding a community within a gym and fitness environment. All their online promos said they would be a functional, dedicated team of professionals promoting wellness, fitness and mindfulness in a community environments and that's exactly what I've gotten so far. Demi & Adrian have created an environment that is no less than a family. With an ongoing knee injury, I've never felt judged or like i wasn't allowed to come to Gym and now enjoy group personal training and 1 on 1 PT sessions with Cam to make me stronger and fitter which i feel week to week. The memberships are really affordable (actually cheaper than some of the big guys in the area) and they cater to everyone. I get text messages asking how I am going and get regular updates on new events and changes at the gym. Watt St are catering for Covid-19 really well and everyone feels safe and clean. Keep up the good work Demi & Adrian, you've created an amazing business in only a few short months, can't wait to see you grow over the next few years.
