Highlite Fitness: Opinions
Fantastic experience: Awesome Gym. Smaller class environment helped me and my mate feel heaps comfortable trying out a new space! The HIIT class with Lewis is a must try :)
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Mark and the team at Highlite! They have created such a personable and inviting environment that is honestly for people just starting out or wanting to find something more in their fitness journey. I have seen such amazing results, not just physically but also mentally for the short time I have been. The workouts always leave me feeling accomplished and I’m always smashing little goals and PBs. I enjoy waking up going to the gym and starting my day, sets me up for a good and motivated day!
Fantastic experience: Highlite is a gym that works for everyone. I don't think I have seen anyone trial Highlite and not continue with it (including myself). Mark and the team are extremely knowledgeable, mixing the program up every 4 weeks with new material which keeps it fresh yet goal orientated. I have become so much stronger in such a short space since joining and genuinely love my early morning starts now it kicks off with high calorie burning classes. Everyone is super friendly, supportive and helpful when you start out and it's for any fitness level, always extra options. Glad I made the move to Highlite :)
Fantastic experience: I've tried lots of different styles of gyms in the past and Highlite Fitness is my favourite by a long shot! The staff are great and I'm loving the workouts - they're fun and challenging and they keep me really motivated. Plus, the music playlists are awesome! I can't recommend it highly enough. I'm a huge fan!
Fantastic experience: I absolutely love training at Highlite Fitness! It is such a great group to train with. Mark is a fantastic trainer and is very knowledgeable. I am feeling fantastic and more motivated to keep going than ever. There is a great diversity of ages and fitness levels so it is not intimidating to train which is a big deal for me. I have found myself a great community of like minded people and would highly recommend other people to try it out!
Fantastic experience: This is the first gym I've stuck with for years. The programs are a great mix of strength, conditioning, cardiovascular and aerobic; the culture is really friendly and laid back (no excess of testosterone), and Mark is an expert, encouraging trainer.
Fantastic experience: Highlite is an absolutely fantastic place to train. As someone who has always been a part of a gym and very into fitness, I can easily say that Highlite is a step ahead of the rest and by far my favourite. Mark, Todd, and the rest of the Highlite team have created a challenging, motivating, and welcoming space to get some of the most gruelling, yet rewarding, workouts in. I couldn’t recommend it more!
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Highlite Fitness, especially the online zoom training. I joined Highlite a few months ago and I haven’t looked back. I’m constantly impressed by the support and technic feedback given by Highlite Fitness during every session. This is so important to help prevent injuries and to maximise results. Quality of training is a cut above the rest. I should also mention that I live in Sydney, and although I haven’t met Mark or the team in person I’ve always felt so welcomed. I’m proud to be Highlite gym member! Thank you Highlite Fitness for helping me become fitter, stronger and healthier!
Fantastic experience: Highlite is incredible! Mark and his highly knowledgeable team have created a space to suit all ages and abilities. The perfect mix of strength and conditioning has allowed me to enjoy exercising. Training alongside other members in a supportive environment has motivated me to push myself! Highly recommend! I’m loving it!
Fantastic experience: I've been training with Mark and the team at Highlite Fitness for nearly two months now and absolutely love it. The programs are well designed and due to the way they have been put together I can train 5 days a week without getting too sore. The reason why it is such an amazing gym is because the Highlite team really understand how the human body works and the science behind it all. It's a smarter, more efficient way to train.
Fantastic experience: Loving my Highlite experience. After moving to the area (my husband and I) wanted to find ways to improve our health and fitness with a social element and this has certainly delivered on all counts. Mark and his team are friendly, professional and know how to put you through your paces while allowing for individual capabilities. Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: I've been training on and off for 20 years and Highlite has by far the most well rounded program that I have experienced with a perfect balance between strength and cardio training, presented in a manner that is neither intimidating to the beginner or not challenging enough for the experienced. Combined with technology to help you track your fitness goals and a timetable that gives plenty of options, a Highlite membership is money well spent in my view.
Fantastic experience: Highlite is THE BEST gym/group fitness i have ever been apart of! Speaking as someone who previously had several unused gym memberships and no motivation to workout. Mark and Todd are highly experienced trainers, with every member being mentored from improving techniques to achieving goals EVERY SESSION! They are with you every step of the way whether it be from day to day goals or even just assisting you to get through the class. The members are extremely welcoming and whilst i may have only been with Highlite for 8 months, I have never felt anything but welcome to each session!
Fantastic experience: Great place to workout. Friendly team and great workouts for any fitness level.
Fantastic experience: Highlite Fitness is not only an INCREDIBLE gym to go to, but it provides a wonderful health and fitness community to be part of! Highlite provides high quality trainers who are friendly, knowledgeable and personable! The workouts are fun yet challenging, and there is a great variety! Sometimes it can be daunting to go to a gym, but Highlite Fitness provides such a supportive and welcoming environment from the moment you walk in the doors! I couldn’t recommend this place highly enough!
Fantastic experience: I started Highlite in June 2019 and it has changed my life. There is never any dread now when heading to the gym! Of course it’s challenging but that’s what makes every session great. No two days in a row are ever the same. I have become a lot fitter since starting with highlight and would highly recommend to anyone!
Fantastic experience: Highlite is the next best thing to having your own Personal Trainer, a Friendly Inviting and Motivating Gym with Excellent Trainers and Fast Effective Group Workouts. The Variety of Equipment and Programs keep the Workouts feeling new, making it easy to keep the Motivation to go as frequently as you like ... Thanks Highlite
Fantastic experience: Awesome facility & equipment. The group training style classes are focused on overall body fitness & strength with everyone wearing a heart rate monitor. Everyone’s heart rate is visible on the large wall hung monitors & this keeps you in check through your session. The trainers have great knowledge & run great classes including warmups, training & stretching. They also run regular body fat challenges which includes access to body scans & nutritionalists....⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing workouts, taught by experienced trainers. Caters for beginners like me, and seasoned gym goers alike. Each exercise is taught with care and the results are amazing.
Fantastic experience: Highlite has been totally life changing - first time I’ve continually kept going to the gym and the difference has been huge, most noticeably has been how strong I’ve become. It’s excellent! Can’t recommend it strongly enough.
Fantastic experience: Mark and the team are nothing but amazing! The workouts that they create are suitable for all fitness levels and they really focus on good technique and have a great balance between strength and HIIT. Having the high tech technology helps you to hit targets in each workout and really helps you to push yourself. The 8 week challenges I could not recommend enough. It has helped me so much and has also helped me maintain and develop a healthy lifestyle both in and out of the gym. I would highly recommend Highlite to anyone.
Fantastic experience: Hilight was a great little find for me. Its nestled unsuspectingly at the end of darby street and isnt ur typical gym. Highlight provides high quality, heart monitored training delivered through group classes. They incorporate strength and conditioning components and are done in an interval style workout over a 45min session. It can be scaled and tailored to suit all fitness and strength levels. Training at highlight has increased my fitness quickly and reenergised me and the 45min classes are the perfect length and reflect the training smarter not longer attitude. The workouts are well put together by experienced trainers who always take the time to demonstrate movements first and also correct technique if needed and the workouts are always changing and challenging. I love the heart rate feedback as you can see when you can push harder and its fun to look at the stats post workout. Mark and the trainers are accomodating, helpful and just genuinely nice people who happen to have a great passion and expertise in health and fitness. Definately recommend trying it out.
Fantastic experience: I've experienced nothing but positive vibes at Highlite. The trainers are very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. The workouts are difficult but very rewarding, and are suitable for all levels of fitness. The members are very friendly and extremely welcoming which is amazing. Won't be going anywhere else : )
Fantastic experience: I've been with Highlite over 6 years now and wouldn't train anywhere else. A friendly, professionally run gym with a great atmosphere accepting of everyone. No matter what your level of fitness the team at Highlite will help you to achieve your fitness goals.
Positive experience: Highlite delivers - whether you are a beginner or have been training for a while. I love the strength components and the necessary hiit component is always made fun that i even forget sometimes how torturous cardio can be. Definitely like no other gym you have been too.
Fantastic experience: Great trainers, location, facilities and equipment matched with the perfect environment to look after your physical fitness. These guys make every class fun and make you feel part of a team regardless of your fitness level. The gym itself is modern and all of the equipment is first class. Thoroughly recommend for all ages and levels of fitness. Keep up the good work Mark and the Highlite crew
Fantastic experience: There’s no better way to start my day. I truely look forward to it each night. Every workout is unique, challenging and fun. My fitness and strength has dramatically improved in all aspects over the years I’ve been coming to Highlite Fitness. I love the people I train with. I love the gym space and the trainers are the best.
Fantastic experience: Great gym, great trainers and great workouts..... very motivating!!!
Fantastic experience: I'll be honest, working out is hard. To see significant improvement you have to push yourself and that's not easy. What can make it easier though is if you're motivated to keep turning up and I think this is where Highlite stands out. They've made the whole experience really enjoyable so going to the gym doesn't feel like a hassle. Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: Awesome friendly professional team of Staff No matter what age or fitness level you are at you feel welcome! Classes vary so you never get bored and group sizes are never too big that correct technique is never overlooked Thank you guys well done
Fantastic experience: If I don't walk out like I am about to die, I haven't worked hard enough!
Fantastic experience: Being a member of Highlite has had an extremely positive impact on my life. I have been with Highlite for 4 years and the variety and structure of the sessions keep me motivated..I have always been hesitant about group training environments however Highlite is non judgemental..welcomes all ages and is just a great place to be a part of.
Fantastic experience: Joining Highlite has to be up there with the best decisions I’ve made! All the workouts are amazing with personalised attention from the trainers/owner. They are intense and challenging (don’t worry beginners we all know the pain but it gets much better with time) but very rewarding at the same time! It’s also a great place to meet friendly and like minded people focused on health and well being, I’ve gained so much motivation off them all! Never thought I’d enjoy going to the gym so much.
Fantastic experience: Great place to work out with a great vibe!
Fantastic experience: I love Highlite! The 45 minute workouts are perfect for getting the job done. The support I have received from the trainers has allowed me to see results I would have struggled to gain working out on my own and the group atmosphere is also a fantastic motivator! I am now looking forward to working with Mark and the gang on my postpartum journey to regain the strength and fitness I had pre baby!
Fantastic experience: I have been a regular member of Highlite for four years .I have never been a member of any gym for that long. I go at least three days a week.I love the workouts which constantly change to keep things interesting. The members are great and many have become friends. Mark is a great trainer. He is very encouraging and he pushes you to your limits but is always mindful of injuries and seems to sense when you are just having an off day and backs off ( a tiny bit ). I highly recommend Highlite to anyone who wants an effective workout no matter your age or level of fitness. Highlite has you covered.
Fantastic experience: Such a great gym. All of the staff are very helpful and knowledgeable and make staying motivated easy. The workouts are different every week and, provide a very good challenge and the heart rate monitoring provides additional information about how well your work out went.
Fantastic experience: Highlite is an incredible gym with a highly knowledgeable team and incomparable atmosphere. There is no gym that even comes close to what it has to offer in Newcastle. From the motivating beats, to the state of the art equipment and the disco lighting...It has it all! I love the structure to the workouts with each being a 45minute session. Each day of the week is different. The unlimited membership is great value for money and well worth the investment to improve your physical and mental health. It has improved my overall strength immensely and as a result my long distance runs and endurance events have been a breeze. Whilst the pace of the workouts are fast, I love that Mark and the trainers always take the time to correct your form, educate you and encourage you to push harder. It always feels like you have your own personal trainer. Highlite is frequented by a group of supportive, encouraging and welcoming fitness fanatics. It is always a lot of fun, hard work and you’ll never feel like you’ve wasted your time. 5 well earned, sweaty, triumphant stars from me - every time!
Fantastic experience: Great gym with awesome atmosphere led by incredibly knowledgeable fitness professionals. Mark and the team have built an engaging community welcoming to new members. Every session is fun and the right level of challenging
Fantastic experience: An early morning session at Highlite is the best way to start my day! I enjoy the strength based training, and pushing to be fitter and faster under the guidance of experienced trainers. Such a beaut lil fitness fam.
Fantastic experience: Highlite offers the best of everything. Their workouts are challenging - but you can always work to your own level; they are only 45 mins in length so you never get bored; and you’re trained by knowledgable, friendly trainers who help you build from whatever level you’re at. I became a Highlite member in 2016. Before this I had never lasted more than 6 months at the same gym (and I tried a lot of gyms!) I love the use of heart sensors that tell me if I can push harder and I love the results I’ve seen over the past 3 years. Highlite is a friendly fitness family and I’d recommend it to anyone looking to be fitter, stronger and wanting to move towards a healthier lifestyle.
Fantastic experience: Top gym, great trainers and a friendly culture.
Fantastic experience: Highlite is the best gym I've been to! Fantastic trainers wth a wealth of knowledge for all fitness levels and they provide awesome motivation. Workouts are fun, challenging and awlays changing. Friendly & welcoming atmosphere with killer tunes. Highly recommended!
Fantastic experience: Great gym with knowledgeable motivating trainers. Fun and friendly atmosphere. My favourite way to start the day! Be warned it's addictive! Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: I've been going to Highlite for over 4 years and cannot recommend them highly enough. Mark and his team have built a fun, inclusive and individually challenging community who are all achieving their goals of health and fitness. Their tailored approach and attention to individual details is what makes them second to none. All fitness levels from beginner to elite are guided, encouraged and do appropriately scaled workouts to help achieve goals wherever they are on their fitness path. The members are diverse and fun people to work and play hard with!
Fantastic experience: I’ve been a Highlite Fitness member for around 6 years now, it is a fantastic gym with friendly faces. Highlite caters for all fitness levels, each session is designed to push yourself to your limit, without having to compete with anyone else. It is a whole body workout and Mark and his team are fantastic. Highly recommended!
Fantastic experience: Highlite is awesome, it’s like having your own personal trainer but in a group workout with other motivated people. It’s been great for me to get fitter during the off-season, to rehabilitate after injury, and to stay in shape when my motivation for other exercise has dropped off. Highlite has tailored the workout to my injury limitations which has helped me improve my resilience to future injury. Above all, the trainers and clients are fun people. I’d recommend Highlite to everyone.
Fantastic experience: Awesome gym experience. Punctual and effective workouts from a radical team #woleverinetrainshere #bringingbackmyV

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Newcastle. They have amazing, knowledgeable trainers and great members. Highly recommended for anyone that's looking for a fun and friendly atmosphere to stay fit and healthy in
Fantastic experience: Highlite is the best gym I’ve ever been to, and the only thing I’ve still enjoyed 2 years on. There’s no single thing that makes it a great place, but it’s the combination of fun but challenging workouts, awesome playlists, experienced and fun trainers, plus an all round great crew of other members. I originally started at Highlite as it was the best place to manage returning to exercise after shoulder surgery. During the recovery phase, all exercises could be modified to suit my reduced ability while still strengthening my body in a safe way.
Fantastic experience: Highlite Fitness is an amazing place where I go to smash my goals every week. The trainers are like family and they stop at nothing to make sure you get every penny's worth. I have always loved Highlite. It is my happy place. If you're thinking of joining, just do it!
Fantastic experience: Great group training! Mark has made me feel welcome from day one. I’ve never stuck to a gym for more than 6 mths yet I have been a member here for nearly 18mths and love every session. Highlite is a gym for everyone!
Fantastic experience: Great trainers, effective and fun workouts in classes that aren’t too big. Perhaps most important of all, awesome music!
Fantastic experience: Highlite is next level! There's no other fitness facility like it! The Highlite family is so much more than a place to go to exercise. It's destined to get u results and improve overall wellness! The members and trainers are top quality and so are the parties!
Fantastic experience: Without a doubt the best gym in Newcastle!! Workouts are highly variable and are always a fantastic mix of strength and cardio. The tech allows you track your progress and push the intensity. There is an awesome social vibe in the gym and everyone is really friendly and inclusive. Highlite - it’s a highlight of my day!!
Fantastic experience: Awesome gym with educated trainers who care about their members. Great culture and a small community of its own. Try Highlite and you’ll wish you took it up a lot earlier. Also a great well rounded training option for couples!
We are so grateful to have you and Codie training at Highlite, keep up the great work guys. Thanks so much for the awesome review.
Fantastic experience: Highlite is my favourite way to start my day - I feel energised and motivated. The workouts adapt to all fitness levels and everyone is warm and welcoming.
Fantastic experience: Best gym in the city! Great community with awesome trainers, always helping you along the way. It’s a great place to meet new people while getting in shape and having fun
Fantastic experience: I have been to lots of gyms over the years but Highlite is my favorite by far - Mark balances the intensity really well, and he caters well for complete beginners and hard-core regulars. And the social side of the gym is wonderful too. A great bunch of people to work out with and socialize with. Five stars!
Fantastic experience: Great place to get fit
Fantastic experience: BEST TRAINER EVER!!
Negative experience: EOFY SALE: PURE BAIT & SWITCH. False advertising. Wanted a 8 week minimum signed contract prior to starting 25 day trial for $5. AVOID.
Fantastic experience: Great place to workout and meet up with like minded friendly people, no judgement, just down to earth train and help
Fantastic experience: I have worked with Mark and his team for a few years now and am always impressed by their professionalism, commitment and motivating ability. As a Physio I have worked with him to help clients overcome long term injuries and weaknesses. A truly great team of fitness professionals to work with.
Fantastic experience: This place has a very inviting environment. Great trainer's
