HandzUp Boxing & Fitness Gym: Opinions
Fantastic experience: I remember when I first walked into the gym, I felt the struggle like most of girls - I wanted to lose weight quickly. I struggled on and off with motivation, and I beat myself down. After a while especially I started weight training, I no longer training to punish myself for the food I eat, I changed the mindset to “go to the gym because I need to look after myself and my body has so much capability to function”. The coaches’ guide for training and words for encouragement played important part of this journey. For someone who’s new to the gym, and feeling awkward training alone, not sure about the forms etc. this is perfect for them, because the PTs are professional, the community is so friendly, I love walking into the gym and receiving lovely comments from others. I highly recommend this gym, the best one in town!
Best one in town! Thank you so much. Kind words, we feel flattered and will endeavour to live up to this early call game on! Welcome to the HandzUp team!
Fantastic experience: After two years here, my only regret is not starting sooner. I’ve tried plenty of gyms - I either had to invent a workout or squeeze into someone else’s class schedule. HandzUp solves both those problems - pick a time that suits you and knockout a 45 minutes circuit of cardio, conditioning, bag work, and weights that’s mapped out by the coaches. The 1-on-1 coaching is also top-notch. The coaches are right there fixing your stance, changing your workout, and making sure every punch lands clean. The gym has all the essentials - heavy bags, kettlebells, free weights, medicine balls, racks. It's the right amount to train everything and not overwhelm you like other places. It's a great gym if you want solid workout on your own clock.
Fantastic experience: I have never been to a gym, where I can just turn up in-between my families busy schedule and be coached to be better every session. The team at Handzup don't just know what they are talking about, they also make assurances and ensure I can make this work with my family and career lifestyle. The team at Handzup make your children feel welcomed and a part of the family- inspiring them to also lead an active lifestyle.
Thank you so much Georgia! Great to have you on the team and really appreciate your insights and kind words
Fantastic experience: A really great gym. I love the flexibility of the circuit set-up and being able to pop in when it suits me rather than at set class hours. The coaches are genuinely lovely and really helpful - I have improved technique in lifting weights and boxing immensely since I started. Great for body and mind! Highly recommended.
Thank you so much Jen! We have loved having you on the team too. Such a fun client to coach :)
Fantastic experience: HandzUp is so much more than your typical gym! The HandzUp trainers are exceptional, and are so helpful in helping you achieve your goals. Jake has fostered a strong sense of community, and overall good vibes!! Who knew working out could be fun
Thank you for your kind words Jacq :) Appreciate the nod to the community there, we try really hard to keep everyone having a fun and a challenging time :) See you in there Jake
Fantastic experience: I started here about 2 years ago, and honestly I wish I’d started earlier! It’s the best workout I’ve ever experienced, it’s fun, a really welcoming environment, convenient, and flexible. Anyone can join! These coaches are the best! Thanks Jake, Bax, John, Zoe, and Zac
You are the best Katie :) We had wished you'd started sooner too haha Thanks for the shout out. We appreciate this immensely. Jake
Fantastic experience: Hanzup Boxing is a great gym. No need to book your class, just turn up and start whenever you like. It’s a fun atmosphere and the trainers are fantastic, they are very both supportive and very knowledgeable. I have been to many gyms and this one is definitely up there with the best.
Hey Mandy, Thank you so much for your kind words. We really appreciate them and you :) Jake
Fantastic experience: HandzUp is an exceptional gym with quality trainers! With no set times and a provided circuit each day, it’s like a class without the constricting timetable which makes it easy to fit around my schedule. Always great fun, with a great community and a solid workout
Thank you for your wonderful review, Adam! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoy the flexibility and quality training at HandzUp. Our community is what makes it special, and it's great to know you're having fun while working out. We look forward to seeing you in the gym again soon!
Fantastic experience: The trainers are so encouraging and supportive while you are gaining fitness and confidence. They push and inspire you to make sure you make your fitness goals once you have survived your induction period. The best gym I have been to by far!
You are the best. Thank you BTW... Survived ;) haha
Fantastic experience: HandzUp Boxing & Fitness has a wonderful community vibe and is the best ‘gym’ I’ve even been to! We recently spent 3 months in the area and loved the concept of this gym. The flexibility to go when unstaffed is handy but the ability to go during the coached hours with no set class times is a game changer! The trainers are fantastic, always going above and beyond to help you get the most out of your workout. Each zone is set out well, easy to follow along and changes to the timings and exercises daily keep you engaged. I’d never boxed before but the boxing zone and in particular the one on one boxing has become my favourite part of the workout! A massive thank you to the team for the last 3 months! Genuinely going to miss our sessions and wish there was a HandzUp location at home!
Thank you soooo much Mon :) Keen to catch up next time you are in town :)
Fantastic experience: Best gym in Newcastle with the best staff
Thank you Soph! Great to have you in the gym

Fantastic experience: Great place, great coaches and fantastic system. Bax is the best
Fantastic experience: The best gym! The workouts are fun and a great mix of cardio, boxing, mobility and weights. No set start times or bookings makes it so convenient, and there is always plenty of parking.
You are the real MVP Sara thank you for your kind words and we are glad you love the workouts ✅✅
Fantastic experience: This gym offers great flexibility in timings for either coached or non coached sessions which is important for me as a shift worker. There is always a great atmosphere in the gym and the workouts cater for all fitness levels looking for improvement. Bax and his team are very knowledgeable and always offering great advice on how to improve your technique and quality of workout. Without doubt the best gym I have been a member of, highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Great gym with super friendly, approachable staff. Format gives a terrific all body workout and the staff get involved, helping with motivation.
Fantastic experience: The new HandzUp gym, with its familiar and great coaches have entirely overhauled their training regime and it will certainly challenge you. But don’t worry, they still have a fun atmosphere and the coaches will guide you through your health journey. You will love the vibe training with a great group of people… and you will soon find that you have found your tribe…
Thank you so much Thea! welcome to the HandzUp Team :)
Fantastic experience: Best gym with an awesome team of coaches. All coaches work with you to reach your personal goals. They challenge you, give helpful advice on correct form and are just great humans. Each session is challenging and fun and gets you working hard. Cardio has never been my favourite, but I LOVE boxing! There's something about hearing your glove hit the pad/bag that makes you feel super strong. It didn't take long to feel my core strength improve and my confidence too. If you find gyms intimidating, HandzUp Boxing & Fitness Gym is filled with friendly, down to earth members and the best coaches that make you feel very welcome. Thanks for pushing me and making me stronger :)
Thanks so much for your kind words Ebony and welcome to the HandzUp team! We are grateful to have you
Fantastic experience: HandzUp makes working out easy because it’s such a fun and enjoyable environment to be in. You know a gym is good when it’s the amazing trainers who make you want to come back even when you’re sore from a solid workout. It really is like a big family
Thank you Mish, welcome to team HandzUp The DOMs will settle we promise you
Fantastic experience: Loving HandzUp. So much more than your average gym. Great culture and community. Can't speak highly enough of the trainers who don't just challenge you, but teach you as well - and manage to mark the hard work fun. The structure of the workouts and the mix of exercises keeps things fresh and gets results. Can't recommend highly enough.
Thank you so much Heathy! We have been very fortunate to have such a legend join our team Can't wait to see what we can help you achieve with a bit more time.
Fantastic experience: Sorry for the cliche, but I really feel like I am part of a family at HandzUp. A big, happy support-each-other-but-also-take-the-mickey-out-of-each-other family! The best kind :) One of my favourite things about HandzUp is there are no class times. You get there whenever you want, have an awesome workout waiting for you AND you have a couple of spunky coaches there to help you out. Actually, I think it is the coaches that make HandzUp so great. Not only do they support you and push you to improve yourself, they are also great fun! HandzUp is not only making me fitter and stronger and giving me some nice muscles, it also genuinely brings a bit of joy to my life :)
We love cliches and we love that you made the decision to join our family and make it better just by being there Enjoy those new muscles, and can't wait to see what a little bit more time can deliver you Spunky Coach #1 signing off
Fantastic experience: Great workout program.with a mix of cardio, strength & function the staff are always on hand to help and guide you in your workouts. I moved from another boxing / fitness gym and find Handz Up to be a lot better. AAA+
Thank you Rippa! We are grateful to have you on the team and appreciate your extremely friendly and approachable nature. You have already helped so many other people feel more comfortable in our system. Can't thank you enough, keep up the great work
Fantastic experience: Being a gym goer for 30+ years I am enjoying the Handz Up experience. The combination of weights and cardio is great as are the coaches. The gym has an awesome culture and community to help you through every workout and make it enjoyable.
Thank you Alf! Great to have you on the team.
