Anyone considering a bespoke workout, provided by caring and very knowledgeable, friendly staff need to give this place a go. As a complete gym novice, and not exactly 21 anymore, I didn't feel uncomfortable about my lack of fitness or knowledge as the PT made me feel completely at ease. A specific programme was put together for me focused on my goals, but tailored to a long term injury impact. The lads are all very welcoming, know their stuff and it's a great place to work out. Sessions are in small groups of 4 at a time, catering to all levels of ability. Can't recommend this team highly enough!

Great environment, ideal for everyone from beginners to experienced gym goers. Personalised programs based on your own goals and training preferences. Although booked in small groups (max 4) its not a 'class' format so no worries on keeping up with the group, just working through your own program with support from your coach. 100% recommended.

After not enjoying the gym and many years of little or no exercise, my love for the gym is back! Thanks to Roots Fitness. Jonny is a great trainer and motivator, the PT’s and other members are friendly and not intimidating at all. Highly recommend!

I started at roots last year when I joined to do their 8 week challenge. After the 8 weeks I left to do my own thing for a while, but during covid, when we were allowed to start meeting outdoors in small groups, I jumped at the chance to do small group outdoor sessions with the roots guys. Since indoor gym work has been allowed, I've went back to doing small group personal training with Matty. It's a great environment. Personalised plans that work for you, no more than 3 other clients in a session with you. I feel much safer training here than in one of the bigger gyms. It's also good fun, we all have a bit of a giggle together. If you want to get fit in a safe environment, this is the place for you. I can't recommend roots and their amazing team highly enough!

If you're looking for an honest, down to earth gym who want to see you reach what ever goals you have, receive the best advice and training, then Roots is for you. Having been so nervous about gyms previously, Roots completely rewrote whatever presumptions I had and provided me with the most positive gym experience I've ever had.

Excellent gym, filled with quality equipment and knowledgable PT’s. The guys take time to explain the routines and make sure you are doing the exercises correctly. As someone who is not a expert gym goer the big thing for me is I feel comfortable and happy which builds my confidence .... definitely recommend, a great place to train !!

Great gym with fantastic equipment. The trainers are really knowledgable and committed. Excellent small group training sessions with personalised programmes to suit individual goals.

I started with Roots in June 2019 after having surgery on my foot and after leaving another gym whose focus was on HIIT style training and a diet that was close to starvation. I was losing all motivation and wanted to get stronger and tone up. I came to the gym to meet with Andy who sat down and acted like he had as much time as I needed which was great because my anxiety was through the roof; I was comfortable at my other gym, I was terrified of gaining weight by changing my work outs and I was worried i would be intimidated because I hadn’t really got a clue. He explained everything to me and I signed up. The gym does looks scary; there’s no cardio equipment in sight and to me, that was a challenge; just loads of machines I didn’t know how to work. Anyway, I haven’t looked back since. Andy is my PT and the head coach but all the other trainers (Matt and George) are the same: non judgmental, open, flexible and honest. Everyone at that gym is down to earth, everyone has a bit of a laugh and everyone has the ability to laugh at themselves which is just what you need! It’s not a miracle worker; if you don’t follow what they tell you do, you won’t lose weight or become stronger, but if you follow their advice you’ll do brilliantly. The price can seem expensive but when you consider what you get for that price in terms of number of session, time with your trainer and nutrition advice it’s incredibly cheap. Not only that but you have to think about how much your fitness, confidence and ultimately, happiness is worth. Absolutely brilliant gym!

So far I have been attending Roots for about 8 month. In this time I have lost weight and become much stronger. The facility is clean, well equipped, the trainers are friendly and make the whole experience relaxed, the sessions are tough but safe and comfortable. Manage your subscription and session through an easy to use app- I would highly recommend for the price, by far the best value for money in the north Tyneside area. Read on for more detail! The facility is well equipped and there are 3 trainers each with their own separate space within the unit, each trainer has up to 4 clients per session, there is some crossover but you will never struggle for space or for kit. I mostly do strength training with some cardio elements - I find that the sessions push you to your limit but not beyond so that you cause injury, trainers are incredibly attentive, they always check that the right muscles are being activated and if you mention any discomfort or pain they always have a solution to eliminate that, so communication is key, I’ve never felt bad about mentioning a ‘niggle’. The trainer I use is Matty, and he is incredibly easy going and always has some chat throughout sessions, he has frequently adjusted my plan when I have reached the maximum in that particular exercise, this also keeps the sessions from getting repetitive, I have 3 sessions per week which is more than enough, each session per week is different again helping to give variety but also consistency so you can see your progress over weeks/months. Sessions are managed through an app, you can see what you’ve done in weeks before and weeks ahead, you can book sessions and you can see which exercises you are doing in each session, the app also tracks day to day week to week progress so you never have to remember what progress you made in the past. I feel that at roots I have a team who are truly interested in my wellbeing, they are there to push and make sure you are constantly improving but never do this at the expense of your health, members are all looked after equally and there is no ‘alpha’ ego where you feel that you can’t question any part of your training. I’ve really enjoyed my time here so far and look forward to what’s to come in the future! Some other great things I haven’t mentioned are; The couples discount! A referral bonus The Christmas social! Mr.Sushi (the cutest mascot) The nutrition guides The egg reviews Toilets/showers Great tunes Amazing value for the investment! 👌🏻

Amazing place, trainers are so knowledgeable and always willing to help they are 10/10. Best thing I have ever done is go to roots! I'd highly recommend trying roots. They cater to all your gym/training needs.
