Cara Nightingale 8 months ago

Fantastic experience: Friendly gym where everyone fist bumps and says “well done” at the end of class. The group training makes you all feel like you’re all in it together. Coaches watch and correct your form and push you to do better. Im lifting heavier as a result and seeing improvements. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: BFT Newcastle isn’t just a gym—it’s an addiction. The moment you walk in, the air is thick with energy, like something electric is about to go down. The dynamic training programs hit you hard and fast, leaving you breathless, sweaty, and wanting more. Every session teases you with something new, pushing your body to its edge and then daring you to go further. But let’s talk about the real temptation—the trainers. These legends don’t just guide you; they command the room with a presence that’s impossible to ignore. They know exactly how to push your buttons, how to get into your head and make you work harder, faster, and deeper than you thought you could. They’re not just the best in Newcastle—they’re the ones you’ll hear in your head when you’re gasping for air, whispering that you’ve got more to give. And the community? Oh, it’s filthy—in the best way. Every class is a sweaty, grueling grind where you’re surrounded by people just as hungry for it as you are. The energy is raw, the connections are real, and by the end, you’re left dripping, high on adrenaline, and counting down the hours until you can come back for more. BFT Newcastle isn’t just a workout—it’s a fix. Once you’ve had a taste, there’s no going back.

Matthew Mansfield 8 months ago

Fantastic experience: Started here in October 24 with the aim of supplementing my running by improving overall body strength and endurance. Was immediately impressed not only by the quality of the gym and programs, but more importantly the calibre of coaches and the great community of members. Highly recommend it for anyone, no matter what level of fitness you are or how big your goals are.

Fantastic experience: Newcastle BFT is a gym like no other! The programming is phenomenal and has provided me so much confidence, especially when it comes to strength training. The coaches are all so friendly, supportive and are always around to double check form. It is such a great community and I especially love the run club! Newcastle BFT is such a great gym and I can't recommend it enough!

Juanita Richardson 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: A big thank you to Jack at BFT Newcastle. As a long-term BFT member from Melbourne who travels for work, I do get time occasionally to work out which I did on Monday night. From the super friendly and personal greeting, water bottle (I can't tell you how grateful I was given it was a crew fit session and I had forgotten mine), to the ongoing encouragement during the session......... you were sensational. I would highly recommend BFT Newcastle to locals and travellers alike. My only issue is I don't think I will be back in Newcastle for a little while :-( 5 out of 5. Thanks for making me feel so welcome

Gemma Shaw 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Really friendly gym and atmosphere. I have never been to a gym where so many people (trainers and other members) are up for a chat. The BFT model also strikes a nice balance between strength based classes and cardio. I have seen a huge difference in my fitness since joining.

Trent Shorten 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Hands down the best gym I've ever been to! The programming and classes are excellent, accommodating to all levels. All of the coaches are knowledgable, friendly, and encourage you to be your best every day. I've never looked forward to gym sessions, until I joined BFT Newy. An amazingly supportive community who also socialise outside of the gym. Won't be going anywhere else, ever.

Vlado Zvicer 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: A great gym with awesome trainers and community. Everyday is different, challenging and it's great to train with an awesome bunch of people. Best training I've been to and look forward to every time.

Claire Kowald 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Best gym I’ve ever been to!! The programming is so good. It’s challenging to see progress and give a huge endorphin hit, but balanced and sustainable to keep up with week by week. I joined a few months ago and already seeing so much progress because I genuinely enjoy going. The trainers are all amazing and the sense of community is unmatched

Mitchell Stojanovski 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: One of the best gyms I've been to! Sessions are planned well, the coaches are great and others in the gym are friendly.

Camilla Cable 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I’m one of those people who’s not a natural “gym person”. I resisted it for a long time, until my body let me know that exercise was just as important as eating and breathing, lol. Since joining BFT Newy I’ve found I am enjoying my gym sessions more. I go now not only because it’s important for my health, but because the team and other members there are welcoming, friendly and supportive. There’s good banter but egos are checked at the door (if they even exist outside of it). Each session is different and challenging and leaves me feeling like I’ve achieved something. Highly recommend!

Miranda Rowlingson 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Haven’t looked back since making the switch from F45 late last year! The team at BFT Newcastle are so welcoming, knowledgeable and supportive (and it’s incredible how they’ve made me enjoy cardio!). I trained up until 37wks pregnant, and rejoined at 7wks postpartum and the trainers were always so accommodating with scaling options and making sure I was comfortable. Regardless of where you’re at in your fitness journey, I couldn’t recommend this gym enough! Suitable for beginners, intermediates and beyond…

Fantastic experience: Have tried many gyms in Newcastle over the years but this is the only gym I haven’t gotten bored of the training or clocked out after a few months…BFT is a welcoming environment and supports everyone irrelevant of their fitness levels.
