Our Very Own Fitness Center

Over the past couple of months Iv’e not been very active on this blog or in sending out emails with helpful content to help you guys on your quest to get fit, tone up, lose weight, build lean muscle and become the best version of yourself that you can be.

Long story short, it’s simply because I have been undergoing lengthy negotiations to buy, take over and open my very own complete fitness center.

The deal will be going ahead and we expect to take over and start trading as of 1st July this year.

The fitness centre is already established albeit slightly run down and requires a lot of maintenance and upgrades which we aim to start work on over the next month or so.

The fitness centre under the current owners as you know it is Club Pulse Fitness in Blaydon. The fitness suite on the side of St Thomas More School, Blaydon.

I am currently an employee there and have been for over 9 years now.

Club Pulse consists of a weights room with fixed machines and free weights.

A cardio room + stretching/abs area.

A modernised fitness studio which is used for fitness classes/bootcamps.

A full size sports hall which is hired for various sports such as 5-aside, netball, baksetball etc.

We (Simon Coles Fitness Services) will be the new owners of the full complex.

Many upgrades are imminent and the list of changes for the better is endless.

As the new owner, we will still offer everything it currently offers but we aim to offer a lot more on top too.

In a nutshell!

In a couple of months time, Simon Coles Fitness Services will be a fitness centre based in Blaydon / Winlaton in Gateshead.

We will offer a gym freshly decorated, maintained and repaired.

We will be open Monday – Friday 7am till 9pm. Saturday 9am-4pm and Sunday 10am-2pm.

The gym will boast:

– a resistance room with fixed machines, power racks, squat racks to Olympic standard with a matted free weights area too.
– a cardio room with treadmills, cross trainers, rowers, upright and recumberant bikes and steppers. Within the cardio room is also a abs/stretching area and a few more basic fixed resistance machines i.e. leg extension, leg curl, pec dec, multi hip.

Memberships will start from £14.95.

The services which we currently offer however will be merged into the fitness centre so we will still offer Personal Training, Bootcamps & Professional Personalised Diet Plans.

We also offer a full size sports hall which can be hired for 5-aside, netball, basketball, badminton etc and can be hired to anybody between 5-9pm weekdays, 9-3pm saturdays and 10-1pm sundays. We will also be running an indoor football league.

Finally, we have a studio for hire. Sound system built in with new laminate flooring and s storage cupboard and  very high ceilings. This can be hired for anybody looking to rent a studio to teach fitness classes / bootcamps but also can be hired on weekends for small family gatherings / kids parties for which we provide tables and chairs which can be draped for your occasion.

This is also very much a before picture of the weights room how it stands before the upgrades and improvements start.

I hesitated to show this as I took this video for my records to show the facility as it was when I took over as a “Before Video” you can see the floors, walls, fixtures, equipment has been neglected slightly. This will all be brought back to a good standard so stay tuned for the “After Video”.
