NRG Gym opens Newcastle site and plans three more

NRG Gyms looks to grow its presence on the UK health club market with three new openings over the next 12 months.

The 24/7 gym chain opened its seventh gym in Newcastle in August 2024.

The newly launched club features a 35,000sq ft gym floor, providing members with a dedicated boxing zone, female-only training zone, indoor cycling studio, Olympic lifting platforms, as well as male and female saunas.

There is also a functional training area kitted out with a TRX Studio Line featuring built-in anchoring, including TRX Suspension Trainers.

The Newcastle site is being marketed as one of the biggest gyms in the city, and comes 11 years after NRG opened the doors to its first gym in Gravesend, Kent.

Founded by Shafiq Ahmed, NRG Gyms offers a “competitive pricing model”, with a major emphasis on building strong communities around each site, known as ‘NRG Tribes’.

The company does this by uniting members who have a shared passion for their health and wellbeing, providing a space where they want to train and feel part of something.

Shafiq Ahmed, Founder, CEO and Chairman of NRG Gym, commented: “At NRG Gym, our members are at the heart of everything we do. “We work hard every day, to create a positive, welcoming atmosphere within our gyms that our members feel happy and safe in; somewhere that you want to visit and train in, and feel proud to be a part of. “With changing member demands, our ability to evolve and deliver a quality experience is one of the things I’m most proud of. “We will continue to bring NRG to more communities across the UK, whilst growing our existing gyms to create unique, game-changing fitness experiences for every member of our Tribe.”
