Best Personal Trainers in Tynemouth
From beach bootcamps on Longsands to private gyms with climbing walls, here are the best personal trainers in Tynemouth and North Tyneside.
One of the best things about getting fit in Tynemouth is the coastline. Where else can you do a bootcamp on a sandy beach, cool off with a surf lesson, and grab a coffee on the seafront afterwards? But Tynemouth and the surrounding North Tyneside area also have a strong selection of gym-based personal trainers and private studios. Here is our guide to the best personal trainers in and around Tynemouth.
David Fairlamb Fitness
David Fairlamb Fitness is the name most closely associated with fitness on Tynemouth beach. David was the original trainer to launch beach bootcamps on Longsands, and the sessions now run five times a week including a hugely popular Saturday morning slot.
Each 45-minute bootcamp session takes place on the sand opposite The Grand Hotel and combines aerobic and bodyweight exercises designed for all fitness levels. There is no booking or joining fee -- it is pay as you go, which makes it easy to try. David also runs a private outdoor gym and offers one-to-one personal training from dedicated studio facilities. If you want to train outdoors with the sea as your backdrop, this is the gold standard locally.
Best for: The original Longsands beach bootcamp, five sessions a week, pay as you go.
CoastFit
CoastFit is a personal fitness gym at 68 Church Way, North Shields, NE29 0AE, run by Sam -- who is also a surf instructor. The gym stands out for having its own climbing wall, which is rare for a facility of this size, and for its no-membership, no-joining-fee approach. You train on your own schedule.
Sam tailors every programme to the individual rather than using a one-size-fits-all template. The gym is praised for its clean facilities, friendly atmosphere, and genuinely personal coaching. Opening hours are Monday, Wednesday, and Friday 6:45am to 1pm, Tuesday and Thursday 8am to 7pm, and Saturday 8am to midday.
Best for: Climbing wall, surf instructor owner, no membership fees, fully tailored programmes.
Move Strong
Move Strong in North Shields offers small group personal training with a maximum of eight people per session, giving you the coaching attention of PT in a social, motivating environment. The facility was created specifically to bridge the gap between impersonal gym sessions and expensive one-to-one training.
Programmes include three coached sessions per week, with options at 40, 60, or 90 minutes. The Start Membership at £129/month includes small group sessions, body scans, meal plans, and access to Sunday circuits. Move Strong also has an onsite sports massage clinic offering sports therapy, deep tissue massage, and rehabilitation.
Best for: Small group PT capped at eight, sports massage on site, structured programmes.
Energie Fitness Tynemouth
Energie Fitness on Preston Avenue, NE30 2BE, is a well-equipped gym with a team of personal trainers who can design tailored workout plans around your goals. The facility includes cardio machines, free weights, resistance machines, punch bags, a mat area, and a functional training zone.
Classes include HIIT, boxing, yoga, and Pilates, all included with membership. Day passes are available from £6.30 and memberships from £26.99/month, making it one of the more affordable options in the area. If you want a conventional gym with PT available alongside a broad class timetable, Energie Fitness covers the basics well.
Best for: Affordable gym with PT, wide class timetable, day passes available.
Jonathan Baker Personal Training
Jonathan Baker is a Level 3 qualified personal trainer based at Energie Fitness Tynemouth, also offering mobile PT across North Tyneside and parts of Northumberland. Jonathan holds multiple qualifications and offers gym-based sessions, mobile personal training at your home or outdoors, and remote coaching.
The mobile option is particularly useful if you live in one of the coastal villages -- Cullercoats, Whitley Bay, or Monkseaton -- and would rather train at home or in a local park than travel to a gym. Jonathan's flexibility and range of training locations make him a versatile choice.
Best for: Mobile PT across North Tyneside, gym-based and remote coaching, flexible locations.
North Tyneside PT
North Tyneside PT trains clients anywhere in North Tyneside -- including Tynemouth, North Shields, Cullercoats, Monkseaton, Whitley Bay, and Blyth. Sessions can take place at your home, on the beach, in parks, or at other outdoor locations.
The trainer is Level 3 qualified and approved by CIMSPA (the Chartered Institute for the Management of Sport and Physical Activity). If you want a fully mobile personal trainer who will come to wherever suits you best -- whether that is your living room or Longsands beach -- North Tyneside PT offers that flexibility.
Best for: Fully mobile, trains across North Tyneside, beach and park sessions, CIMSPA approved.
