Anytime Fitness Trinity Square unveils state-of-the-art refurbishment

We visited the newly transformed Anytime Fitness gym, Gateshead to meet with General Manager Gary Topping recently for tour of what can only be described as a total overhaul.

So, what’s new?

Apart from the structural shell of the building, everything inside is completely brand new.

This includes updated external signage, communal areas and changing room upgrades to cutting-edge equipment and dedicated training zones.

Local professional looking to fit a workout into your workday? Student living nearby in Gateshead or Newcastle? The updated club has been carefully tailored to fit your lifestyle.

Functional fitness and smart equipment

“Fitness trends have shifted significantly toward functional training,” Gary said, “So, movements that mimic real-life activity rather than simply ‘doing cardio’ or ‘lifting weights’. Functional fitness is all about building strength, stability and mobility.”

He went on to explain how Anytime Fitness Trinity Square has adapted its floor layout to centre around this versatile style of exercise, offering dedicated open spaces and high-spec functional gear alongside classic resistance and cardio zones.

The new cardio equipment features large, interactive media screens. Members can easily stream content directly from their phone to the machines during a cardio session.

The club has also installed keyless smart lockers, keeping your belongings secure without needing to carry padlocks or keys around with you.

A state-of-the-art recovery suite

The gym at Trinity Square also has a brand-new, dedicated Recovery Area. Designed to support muscl-+ repair, reduce soreness and accelerate post-workout recovery, this area is a game-changer for anyone training heavy lower body movements or preparing for (or recovering from) events like the Great North Run.

Highlights of the recovery area include:

Dynamic Air Compression massage boots. These specialised leg boots use pulsing compression to flush out fatigue, reduce swelling and boost circulation in your legs. You can choose from 15-, 30-, or 45-minute sessions with adjustable intensity settings, while sitting comfortably in a big recliner.

High-grade massage guns, available for all members to use at no extra charge, helping target tight knots and sore tissues.

Digital perks and added value for members

Every membership comes packed with digital tools to help you track and maintain your progress both inside and outside the gym.

A free personalised induction for every new member:

When you join, the team conducts a tailored 1-on-1 induction. Rather than a generic walkthrough, the trainers take time to understand your specific goals, assess what you need to learn and customise an actionable routine just for you.

Access to the Anytime Fitness App:

Access pre-loaded workouts, track your progress and manage your routine in the gym.

Free Apple Fitness+ Subscription:

Members get 12 months of Apple Fitness+ completely free (a saving of £10 per month / £120 per year), giving you access to thousands of live and on-demand video workouts, yoga flows and mindfulness sessions.

Why Now is the Best Time to Join

If you’ve been considering starting a new routine or switching gyms, Gary highlighted that now is the ideal time to visit, as the club is running promotional rates following the relaunch.
