Achieve Your Fitness Goals With Personal Training

Personal training is a great choice if you:

  • want to look and feel fitter and healthier
  • have never exercised and need help and guidance
  • feel you have not been successful working out on your own
  • have a specific goal to reach and would like the extra push from a personal trainer
  • are starting to ache from old injuries and want to turn back time
  • are an athlete and want to increase your performance for your next competition
  • are recovering from serious injury and need to get back in shape.

You will work with our specialised trainers using the latest training principles in 45 minute sessions.

Your personal training journey starts with a comprehensive consultation. During this session, you'll discuss your goals, fitness level, and any limitations you may have. Your trainer will then create a personalised training plan designed to help you achieve your desired results.

Don't wait any longer! Invest in yourself and unlock your full fitness potential with personal training.

If you’re new to exercise it can be tricky to know what type of training you should be doing to achieve your goals. It’s even harder to know what you should be eating to fuel your body pre and post workout as this can have a huge effect on how quickly you see results. I specialise in fat loss and muscle building (especially in the lower body region) and can give you some nutritional guidance to support your training program so you can get the results you want. As well as weight training and HIIT I also love to do pole dance. Hi I’m Anna, one of the personal trainers at Newcastle University. I first fell in love with fitness whilst I was studying at uni, initially I started because I wanted to counter balance all the nights out I was having in first year and all the extra calories I was consuming. Over time I started to see visible results and the effect it had on my day to day mood was something else.
