A new approach to fitness. Fully supported fitness coaching in small groups, delivering results at great value prices. Train in a private gym environment. Personal training programme, nutrition advice, meal plans, articles and knowledge base all included!
✅ Have a busy life between job, family, friends and socialising. When they get home from work they are too shattered to train. They just want to eat their tea and relax on the sofa
✅ Try hard with their diet through the week only to find themselves going off track on the weekend when they are out with family and friends ????????
We are regular guys just like you. As best mates growing up we'd always compete in the gym. During uni we could train an hour or two a day and devote our lives to crazy methods such as eating 6 meals a day of dry chicken and broccoli. You name it we've tried it; keto, paleo, clean eating, if it fits your macros, body building programmes, smolov etc..
We quickly realised that we couldn't sustain our strength and physiques with the crazy methods we used at University. We were too busy with normal everyday life; job, family, friends, life chores all added up to too little time and energy.
That is when we set the goal of developing a simple and effective training and nutrition method that busy people just like us can implement and achieve amazing results - without having to put in the hours, eat bland, awful food and feel like a zombie at work - all without costing an arm and a leg in the process.
And since then we have helped 100s of clients achieve AMAZING results whilst only sparing a few hours a week to train and still enjoying the foods they love within their diet. And best of all, our clients now have the knowledge and skills to maintain and improve on their results for the rest of their life
When developing our method we realised that unless you can afford a good personal trainer (not many of us can) you are at the liberty of the fitness industry:
⛔ There is "Small Group Training" which is essentially over priced classes of 10 to 30 people where everyone is on the same fixed programme and you are left with no support outside of the gym
⛔ You get given a tonne of print outs or pdfs with meal plans written to someone else's taste, not yours, which doesn't help you understand how dieting works and how to manage your own diet long term
⛔ Celebrities and Instagram models pushing a training plan which they "claim" they used to get in shape, when in fact they have a personal trainer behind the scenes ????
We have all been there, us included, falling for some semi-plausible new theory on dieting - "the cavemen did it" or "this shredded guy with a six pack does it"...
Wait! Isn't it hard work understanding the reams of scientific articles out there, spending years testing what works and what doesn't in practice and simplifying it down into simple principles and rules that people can easily follow. Let's face it 99% of us aren't interested in the science and we just want the results ????
It is really that simple (and a lot of the "gurus" don't want you to know this!). However it is a lot easier said than done. Actually being consistent with a diet or training plan is HARD if you don't have the tools we teach. We show you how to manage flexibility into your diet and allow yourself to eat your favorite foods from time to time in a measured way such that you are always making progress with a happy and clear mindset. We also manage your progression in the gym by writing your personal training programme and ensuring your exercise technique is on point.
???? We train you at our gym like a personal trainer would but in a small group of maximum 4 people (often less). This approach is just as effective as hiring a personal trainer but it works out a lot cheaper for you
???? We have our own virtuagym app which houses; your training plan, a video library of the exercises, progress tracking and our library of 'how to' guides
???? On our Nutrition Course we start you out with a food diary for logging your food before building up to setting & tracking your calories in MyFitnessPal - which is by far the most effective method of dieting. More advanced clients can learn how to keep track of food and calories without depending on the app
???? We have a lively Facebook Group which is great for motivation and team spirit. We also have optional progress check-ins, live Q&A sessions and post bonus nutrition and training lessons from time to time.
Our 4 Week Kickstart is open to all new clients looking to learn our methods and get a kickstart in the right direction with their training and diet.
Please note the majority of these results were achieved after 8 weeks and some some over a period of months. The key thing is our clients can maintain these results as we have shown them how to enjoy food and training whilst also achieving a fit and healthy physique.
By week 2, most of our clients lose between 3 and 5 pounds. They feel more energetic and they love seeing the scale go down. They think they can notice physical changes, but they aren’t 100%.
By the time week 4 is done, most women like Marina have dropped a dress size, and KNOW they look different. They’ve noticed less ‘overhang’ when they sit down, and they actually think their arms and thighs are looking pretty good.
Most guys like Craig have noticed their chest is more full, their t-shirts are tighter in the right places, and they KNOW they look different. They’ve noticed less fat on their stomachs and usually even bit of definition on there!
We have a 2,800 square foot gym spanning 3 separate high-ceiling and well ventilated rooms, all fully self-sufficient with a full compliment of high end gym equipment. When at full capacity you have 233 square feet all to yourself. No need to queue for equipment ever again.

Roots Fitness: Opinions
Fantastic experience: Great training facility with knowledgeable coaches. Highly recommended
Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Andy since 2020 and in that time feel like I’ve learnt so much from him. He’s massively helped grow my confidence to feel like I can carry on my squats and deadlifts in a regular gym. I absolutely love Roots, everyone who goes is lovely and all PTs are friendly and supportive you’re always made to feel so welcome. It’s the best thing I’ve ever done and I would definitely recommend them to anyone! ⭐️
Fantastic experience: Recommended by a friend as I needed to sort my Heath and fitness out. Contacted Roots and spoke to Andy, I felt he knew what he was talking about and very informative. I signed up for 6 week kick start small group course. I am loving it ( groups of no more than 4 is brilliant ) The gym is very clean, well equipped and is perfect. The trainers I have been working with Jamie and Ethan have been spot on. Pushed when I needed pushed but never over the top. 4 weeks left of the program and I am already seeing changes in my fitness and health.
Fantastic experience: Roots is run by amazing PT's that know exactly what you need. I can't imagine ever going anywhere else for my fitness and feel the best I've ever felt. Super easy to book in onto classes to fit around my busy work/training schedule, small group training means you're getting the focus you need, as well as always having your PT there to direct and push. Andy, Matty and Jamie are all amazing at what they do for all of their clients! If you've been thinking about joining a new gym for a while but don't know where to start, give Roots a try - you won't regret it!
Fantastic experience: Excellent trainers, so knowledgable and brilliantly supportive! Would 100% recommend.
Fantastic experience: Incredible room with impeccable equipment, not to mention the excellent coach who occupies the premises. Thank you again for welcoming your kindness as well as your professionalism
Fantastic experience: 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!
Fantastic experience: 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 !!
Fantastic experience: Brilliant staff. Excellent facilities. Couldn't recommend this place more.
Fantastic experience: Great gym with fantastic equipment. The trainers are really knowledgable and committed. Excellent small group training sessions with personalised programmes to suit individual goals.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Excellent intro to working out in a gym!
Fantastic experience: Like that film Best of the Best 1, 2, 3 & 4. All rolled into one. Excellent technical and supportive coaching. Roots gets results.
Fantastic experience: 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!
Fantastic experience: Fantastic without any sales pitch or pseudo science. Balanced approach to helping guide lasting changes to your nutrition to maximise benefits of your exercise. No fads. Thoroughly recommend.
Fantastic experience: 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!
Fantastic experience: 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.
Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality 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.
Fantastic experience: Originally, I went to Roots because of its location, yet it seems that it was the best decision (even if based on the wrong reason !). Having a PT and an appointment system is really working well and getting me to the gym which I probably would not do otherwise. I did not think I was into "weights", yet now I love to see the steady progress with the weights soaring and me, getting stronger. Really helpful, serious team.
Fantastic experience: Great gym, well kitted out and full of knowledgeable friendly staff .
Fantastic experience: 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.
Fantastic experience: Awesome gym I’ve used Andy and Matty and there knowledge is unreal can’t recommend enough
Fantastic experience: There guys are AMAZING! Very professional in their approach to MY needs, everything explained and coached on ALL aspects. Top quality service and I could not recommend there guys enough. Great set up and atmosphere, easy to park, could not pick a fault.
Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality
Fantastic experience: Very good gym all round, very supportive and helpful always helping me achieve my goals. It's a pleasure training there.
Fantastic experience: On my second week now all going well. Very friendly atmosphere. Nice small groups so get lots of attention.
Fantastic experience: 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!
Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism , Quality
Fantastic experience: Roots Fitness is a great place with a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. Staff are all fantastic and full of good advice.
Fantastic experience: Addictive environment. With great staff and welcoming feel.
Fantastic experience: Excellent gym, trainers are very knowledgable, friendly, patient and helpful and I love the fact I'm getting stronger every time I go!
Fantastic experience: 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!
Fantastic experience: Roots is unlike any other gym I have trained in (and that’s quite a few). It’s the closest you can get to 1 on 1 personal training at a fraction of the price. Maximum 4 in a group means you get top class coaching in a motivational environment. My confidence has grown so much in terms of managing my nutrition (I would say diet but it doesn’t feel like one), learning how to use free weights and maximising each workout to its full potential. The booking system is flexible and simple to use, which means that training can fit around my schedule whenever I need it to. If I am lacking motivation, having a session pre-booked ensures I’ll always turn up regardless, and I ALWAYS feel better afterwards!
Fantastic experience: Impressive facility. All new equipment, no waiting and a personal trainer experience. Excellent choice if you’re like me and not a fan of training in-front of a busy gym or of the fees that come with that. In and out in an hour fifteen.
