In 2010, Aaron our founders started as a personal trainer at a premium health club in Newcastle. 

While in this role, he often coached people who had never trained before, who wanted to feel stronger, fitter and healthier. 

Many of these gym goers were aged between 40 and 60 years old, and were either new to the gym or uninterested in the typical gym diet hacks and transformations; they simply wanted to get moving, feel better and enjoy workouts, without training to exhaustion.

However, as Aaron quickly discovered, it was difficult to give these people the attention they deserved in a noisy commercial gym environment, where people were glued their phones, equipment was never free, and everything seemed like a competition.

What did work was bringing beginners together in small groups. This made people feel like they belonged to something, encouraged them to train harder and enabled them to have fun in in a supportive environment. All while benefiting from personal training.

Inspired by the experience, Aaron opened the first Confidence Coach boutique personal training club in South Gosforth in December 2020.

This allowed us to provide hourly Small Group Personal Training sessions in a welcoming private space, and encourage people who would never normally step inside a gym to enjoy the benefits of regular exercise. 

This in turn allowed us to make fitness more personal, and create a space where everyone feels like they belong and no one feels excluded.

Today, there are three more Confidence Coach gyms around Newcastle, and more in the pipeline.

So, if you like the idea of a gym where you’re more than just a membership number, where the coaches know your name, how you take your coffee and how to help you get the best from every session, why not come in and join us.

We’d love you to be part of our team.
