Great equipment in the gym but it's always packed so you rarely get to use what you want to. The sport club's make Northumbria sport look an absolute joke: poor management, high price, mediocre facilities and no support. Some staff are friendly but some are extremely rude and make you feel uncomfortable when you ask a simple question

A gem spot to sweat and exercise in the middle of Newcastle City Centre! Just 10-15 mins walk from northumberland street (high street). Booking is online with discounts for alumni and students of northumbria (5.5/hr) 😉 Non member can also book 7.5/hr

Facilities are good (if you can use them). Was kicked out of pool area as a paying student nearly (£10,000 a year) and a paying member. Was told “sorry we’ve rented the space out to kids”. Apparently you can only use the pool area for less than half the day and in chunks of an hour or so. If your lectures don’t happen to fall on those times, then simply wait around for hours to use or go home, I’ll do the latter and won’t be returning. Far to much effort to memorise a timetable and faff around, all because the university wants even more money renting out to local schools. Uni fees are already a scam, then you still have to pay to use the gym and then be told, sorry can’t use facilities, bore off.

If you are a student in Newcastle regardless of your University, do visit this place. Have a session booked beforehand from the website. The Gym is consisting of just one floor but has good amount of equipment and space, also there is a 'swimming pool', which will require you to buy proper attire before you just jump into it. You can play Basketball, Volleyball and my personal favourite Badminton 🏸. The courts are MASSIVE and you get to meet new people while playing, which is a bonus. Baseline - If you like to play sports, do check it out.

The worst gym I've experienced overall. You feel like they wanna use every inch of tge space only to make money on the expens of the customer's satisfaction, small gym, the pool's timetable is very limited, if you wanna drink water in the gym you have to wait in the cue to fill a 350ml bottle, and the worst thing is that if you forgot your access card you have to pay £3 for one entry🤧.

I have been playing futsal there for a couple of years the facilities are fine but the customer service is full of people with no morals and you feel you talk to robots! and you don't get any refund if you want to cancel your booking even a week before.

gym is way too small with not enough equipment, its always packed all day so you never have a chance to get a good workout in if you don't have a few hours to spare. better of going elsewhere imo

Very very fascinating place 😀 for sports and fitness exercises.

We held a consultation event here, which went really well for those that attended. Unfortunately out-of-date signage across the car parks meant multiple guests were unable to park, with some missing the event. The sports hall itself was decent enough, though unlike other areas of the building lacked air conditioning on a hot day. Thanks for hosting us, and the grassroots game!

I can't comment on it as a sports venue so my comments risk being largely irrelevant in that regard. Our daughter's graduation took place here and it was obvious that no effort had been spared in preparation for the day. A large, versatile venue.

The staff operating at your reception of the sports central are either not trained or have no idea what is located on campus. I had a basketball court booked with my friend. I asked if I parked the car in the right area, the young man advised me to move my vehicle because it was for visitors only. I asked him where can I park because I have a booking for 19.00 and he said he doesn't know. I asked if there is any parking at the sports central I can use, he didn't know that either. 20 minutes later, after driving around the city centre to find a spot I just gave up.

Used the badminton court. Four courts side to side. Very spacious.

The gym here is really good, it has many machines and lifting area is clean and organised but the last month was annoyingly busy with the new students joining the gym. Otherwise, it’s all great.

It's a nice place in the centre where everyone can easily reach and where they can have fun doing sports with their friends. We are playing volleyball every Friday! ...

Went for an Ultimate Frisbee Hat Tournament here, really good venue for it generally 😁

A poor venue for a conference. Over the top security so massive queues to get in. Not enough chairs for one main session. Limited facilities for refreshments. At busy times barely enough toilets. One event took place in a bar / restaurant, unsuitable due to many large pillars - it was difficult to see all the speakers!

Fantastic facilities and excellent staff. Louis, who was on reception on the day I registered, has been an absolute star and is a great client-centred ambassador for Sport Central. A real asset to the team. Thanks everyone at SC.

Swim, sauna and steam room during the summers are the best.

Everything was clean, staff were efficient just slightly unclear with signage to the event but otherwise great venue for the Thai Boxing show

Great courts that are hybrid and are transformed depending on the sport. There were even convocations held here. Good indoor facilities that are well maintained. Do check availability because sometimes they close for events, holidays etc

Wonderful place for your sports activities. Excellent state of the art facilities. A 21st century gym and a great environment for the mind.

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

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.
