Fantastic experience: I've checked out various gyms across north east however this by far has the best reception staff. Lauren was happy to explain all the price points and very knowledgeable in what the season is like for the gym. Great staff and a lot of features for the price.
Fantastic experience: Graduation ceremony. The ceremony was well organised by the organising committee and its indeed a proud moment for families, friends and graduands. There is a paid parking in the Sport Central, and bus stop nearby, there shops around the Central and Newcastle City centre is a minute walk from the Sport Central. They also have a digital commons for student only.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic sports venue, 2nd attending Northern Qualifiers for teamgym here & its top notch

Positive experience: Uni run sports centre. Good classes, decent equipment, clean and safe.
Fantastic experience: Very convenient and clean swimming facilities, take my sister for classes!
Fantastic experience: My kids go to swimming lessons there and it's lovely
Positive experience: The grey haired man who appears to oversea the arena or stadium has a habit of looking at me suspiciously which I find distressing and aggravating considering I'm a member. I would like to see other areas of the building but his presence puts me off from doing so. I will report him if it happens again. The sauna and steam room could be much larger as they're now frequently packed - literally. The floors in the male-female changing room needs an intense clean - not a rub with a mop - otherwise good value for money.
Fantastic experience: Recently visited for pay-as-you-go swim session. Excellent value at £3 for alumni members for a 60 min session. This includes your changing time so come with your swimsuit on under clothes and shower properly at home to maximise pool time. Plenty of space in the pool with max 25 swimmers per session and 3 double lanes open. Lane speeds and directions are clearly signposted on the digital board at the bottom of the pool. I felt very comfortable as a beginner swimmer as people of all ages and abilities were at the session. The pool and facilities were clean and spacious. Would recommend to anyone. Parking is free at College Street before 8am which is ideal for the 7am session.
Fantastic experience: Amazing staff, superb facilities, great atmosphere and amazing value. Best gym I have ever used. Wouldn't go anywhere else!
Fantastic experience: Sport Central is rightly located at the heart of Northumbria University Newcastle and it has vast space for indoor games and could as well be used for other occasions like convocation ceremony. The lightning and sound systems are fantastic and provide the spectators and the guests as the may be a great listening and viewing pleasure.
Fantastic experience: My kids swim there with their swimming club. It is clean and the staff is very friendly and helpful.
Fantastic experience: The membership at the Sport Central is a great investment. The facilities are stunning; first class gym suite with brand new equipment, top class swimming pool with access to steam room and sauna. The fitness classes and instructors really push you to do your best. Changing rooms are kept clean and tidy, there is plenty of secure lockers but you won’t be able to use a new £1 coins so bring your own token or buy one at the reception. There is however not enough of water stations/fountains. One at the gym, one in the swimming pool and another one in male and female changing rooms. The one at the gym is quite busy and fills your bottle quite slowly... other than that I would highly recommend Sport Central as a must for all who want to stay fit right in the city centre of Newcastle.

Fantastic experience: Great facilities for staff, students and members of the public. A real mix of classes available, check it out online in advance. The climbing wall is fab, suitable for all abilities. Swimming pool usually has lanes to help those focused on training and separate them from leisure swimmers. Sauna is great. Main gym is large, spacious and well equipped. Usually busy from 4pm onwards, very quite and peaceful early in the morning.
