Join for Yourself, Train for Your Community

We are first and foremost, not a commercial chain. We are a charity-run gym that has been embedded in the North Shields community for decades. When you choose us, you are making a difference.

Your membership fees contribute directly to our charitable aims:

– Helping homeless young people find safe accommodation.

– Providing specialist cancer and cardiac rehabilitation.

– Creating vital connections for elderly isolated neighbours in North Tyneside and beyond.

– Offering a lifeline and a safe space to children and families living below the breadline.

Everything You Need, All Under One Roof

Our facilities are built for holistic fitness:

– 4 Floors of Dedicated Training: Spin Studio, Wellness Studio, Main Hall, Cardiac Floor, Functional Fitness Room, and a Free-Weights Floor.

– 55+ Fantastic Group Exercise Classes Per Week: All included with direct debit memberships.

– Expert Support: A brilliant team of highly qualified instructors on hand, plus one-to-one sessions included in your direct debit membership.

A Community That Lifts Each Other Up

Forget the cold, impersonal atmosphere of big chains. We are a massively inclusive community—individuals from all backgrounds and fitness types are supportive of each other.

– Train for the Coast: Join our group events like the challenging 32km Sunrise to Sunset Coastal Challenge in March.

– Be a Great Runner: Secure your place on our official YMCA Great North Run Team in September!

– Specialist Programmes: Benefit from our Weight Management, Cancer & Exercise Rehabilitation, and Cardiac Rehabilitation services.
