The Hunter Health Project

Fantastic experience: I've been a member for 3 years. Great gym for small group fitness. A solid mix of fitness (cardio, core) and strength (weight lifting). Sauna, ice bath and other recovery sessions also available. Programming changes quarterly to focus on new skills and keep everyone engaged. Great atmosphere, great members.

Fantastic experience: I have been doing PT lately with Zoe and loving my Friday mornings to myself. She never judges, just encourages. I even got a group at work together and now we do lunchtime workouts on a Wednesday - quick enough to get back to work but gets you off your desk. Highly recommend THHP and Zoe. She does afordable 30 or 60 min PT's too and there is a sauna. I went here before my little boy and it's the same fun vibe still 3 years later maybe better.

Fantastic experience: I go to The Hunter health project, despite my burning hatred for burpees and push-ups (seriously, who invented these torture methods? … probably Zoe) But I can’t stay away, mainly because the post-Saturday sizzler coffee chats are worth the pain. The bathrooms even have pictures telling me I have a nice bum, which is the kind of positive reinforcement I need. The trainers here are a mix of hilarity and hardcore. Matt is the ultimate hype man, always yelling at us because apparently we are trying to catch a dog or something? Zoe seems to be preparing us for either the Olympics or a secret mission. Hardsey’s mini dance breaks makes the pain from the workouts almost enjoyable and J money is a master on the gym floor and my favourite on the gym playlist (dead lifting to country is a big vibe). Despite the agony of rocking up to the gym and seeing a stacker workout on the board, this gym has somehow made me capable of riding a bike really fast without actually going anywhere and taking all my groceries from the car to the house in one trip. The vibes at THHP are elite —nothing like any gym I’ve ever been to. We train hard so we can party hard and eat snacks even harder (balance right?) If you want to join a place where you can laugh… a lot, have a nap in the recovery boots, get a nice booty, make some top teir mates and occasionally question your life choices while getting fit, this is it. Plus, ‘Get the dog’ and ‘coupla cooked chooks’ are now permanently in my vocabulary.

Fantastic experience: After the Christmas workout, I asked for a beer to celebrate and he poured me a Canadian Club and Dry. They go above and beyond

Fantastic experience: Ballin

Fantastic experience: Matt and Lucy have created a really awesome and supportive space. The classes are fun, there's a great variety of workouts and the coaches are so knowledgeable and helpful. 10/10 would recommend.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym with a diverse mix of great members. I started going to rehabilitate after badly breaking my leg. Lucy got me back to my best with tailored personal training and Matt and the other trainers always make the group sessions challenging and fun. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: The Hunter Health Project is the gym for all! There is something for everyone - Matt, Lucy and the coaching staff take the time to know you and bring you into their community. It is a welcoming environment that truly prioritises all aspects of your health

Fantastic experience: By far the best choice I’ve made training at THHP!! Matt and Lucy are great trainers, knowledgeable in not only training methods but also nutrition, a very important aspect for me. The training sessions here is great and its FUN, with friendly members who push each other to improve. Training at THHP has not only improved my physical but also my mental state, I would not hesitate to recommend this gym to others. Love this place!!!

Fantastic experience: BEST GYM IVE EVER BEEN TO! Family vibes, great motivation, great people! Would highly recommend this place!

Fantastic experience: Cannot speak highly enough of the team at The Hunter Health Project! Matt and Lucy are the most passionate & fun trainers I've ever met!

Fantastic experience: I'm only a few weeks in, and I am already hooked. Matt, Lucy and the team are very supportive and always make sure I am comfortable but still push me to ensure I improve. I am already noticing I have more energy through the day, and can't wait for the next training session.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, great culture, great people.

Fantastic experience: Matt and Lucy have created an awesome environment where you can chase your fitness goals.They’ve got a great team of coaches who always make you feel welcome. It’s not an “ego” gym where you can sometimes feel intimidated by the people who train there, it’s more of a lifestyle gym that is great for anyone as it caters for various fitness levels. I really enjoy the crossover between strength training and cardio as I’m not one who wants to go to the gym and throw around heavy weights, but I also don’t want to spend hours on a treadmill mindlessly burning off last weekends beers and pizza. Starting out? No problem. The coaches will show you the correct form for each exercise so you don’t hurt yourself. Old hand? Turn up and give it a try, you’ll be impressed. Session times are spread out so you can get there before or after work, or after you drop the kids at school. Overall, Matt’s dancing-3/10, Matt and Lucy’s infectious energy -10/10 would definitely recommend.

Fantastic experience: Love the trainers, love coming to gym for fitness, advice and a sense of community!

Fantastic experience: A friendly, judgement free gym. Always a great workout!

Fantastic experience: This gym has become my second home. The coaches and the community are among the best. I’ve tried many gyms in Newcastle but THHP has helped me achieved my goals beyond all my expectations. I highly recommend anyone to come and have a free week trial. I guarantee you will love it!

Fantastic experience: Couldn’t recommend this gym more (seriously, I recommend it to everyone). An incredibly encouraging, inclusive and energetic atmosphere, fun and challenging programs, supportive and professional trainers who go above and beyond for everyone. 20/10 would continue recommending to every man and his dog.

Fantastic experience: A great atmosphere, great trainers, with help to achieve my goals in a supportive way. Best gym I have been to!

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Newcastle!!! Professional and knowledgeable coaches in a fun and supportive environment!

Fantastic experience: First time there this evening. The staff and other punters were very welcoming. People of all different fitness levels and Matty pushes you to help you squeeze every bit out of the session. Will be back!

Fantastic experience: The Hunter Health Project is amazing. Matt and Lucy really know their stuff, they get results and they actually care about their members. So many great things I could mention, but what makes it the best are the people! Both staff and members are friendly, motivating and great fun! I would definitely recommend THHP to anyone who’s looking for more than just a boring gym!

Fantastic experience: Matt and Lucy are so motivating! They really get you keen to strive for more in a real friendly and family like environment. I’m not a big gym person but these guys keep me coming back!

Fantastic experience: A fantastic gym and work-out community. Matt and Lucy have created a comfortable and inclusive environment for all levels of fitness. Would highly recommend that everyone give this place a visit if looking for an enjoyable gym experience in Newcastle! It's a great, open set-up with lots of space to get your sweat on :)

Fantastic experience: Hands down the best gym I've ever trained at! Matt and Lucy not only set great workouts to improve physical fitness, but they have also created the most positive and supportive space to support mental wellbeing. Professional, enthusiastic, and always fun! I would recommend to absolutely anyone looking to start their fitness journey, or anyone looking for a change from the usual gym format!

Fantastic experience: I’ve always been a ‘runner’ and so joining a gym or doing anything different from cardio was very daunting. Matt and Lucy are friendly and professional but most importantly, they listened to my needs and were able to support me as a beginner. Every session is different and a little harder keeping me interested and motivated…I’ve felt a real shift in my relationship with my body and exercise, and I love it! Because the classes are small, group sessions have the benefits of a personal training session, with individual attention, without compromising the energy of a group-atmosphere. Both trainers are personable, knowledgable and always afford time to answer questions or chat after a session. They are clearly committed to seeing clients’ results and progress. Additional things I love about the Hunter Health Project: - Music is always on point - Booking a group session isn’t required, so I’m able to turn up when it suits my work schedule - Response level to COVID has been exceptional - It’s a no contract commitment and costs me less than I spend on coffees each month!

Fantastic experience: Great judgement free gym with a friendly atmosphere. Love training here.

Fantastic experience: I'm certainly not what you would call "a gym person" i find them intimidating and hard to stay motivated, This is what sets THHP apart from the rest. THHP team are amazing, supportive and genuine everyone who goes is there to help and encourage there's no judgement only positive vibes. The coaches are incredible, professional and passionate they are more like family who take on a huge amount of accessibility and accountability even outside of their session. THHP provided me with everything I need; nutritional advice, support, emails, texts and so much more to help me work towards my personal goals. Every session is fun, energetic and most importantly effective!! If I could score 10 star's I would!!!

Fantastic experience: I knew Matt was a great coach as i’d trained with him before..I was following his story as he and partner Lucy opened their own gym... after a few months I thought it was time to go see what it was all about. Since joining their gym I have more motivation to go train and the best part is that you go to the gym to meet up with your mates and have a laugh..it’s not just about physical health but also mental health and that’s why I love the hunter health project. It’s a great community of legendary members!

Fantastic experience: Great training facility
