Excellent gym. Neat space, great equipment, everything is tidy and well maintained. The highlight would be the coaches. This place has the highest standards I've ever seen in any gym, all the coaches are proven professionals that do know how to help you achieve your goals. They did wonders for my friends too. And they create a great friendly atmosphere as well! It's always a pleasure to see them! I have to move to another place and I will miss Pioneer dearly, especially coach Todd, whom I can't recommend enough. I am honestly considering fitting a training session into every visit to Newcastle in the future. Thank you, Pioneer!

Having a disability and training can be complex and a challenge for both my coach and myself. However it can be empowering to explore different options within the gym and I most certainly have been able to do this by working alongside Sam at Pioneer Performance. Helping identify areas in which I can improve function and strength without injury. My challenges empower me to grow and its important I'm in the right place and working with the right coach to achieve my goals safely and I certainly got that and more at Pioneer. Sam's knowledge and expertise will always help me to grow not just physically but mentally also. This is in my opinion is one of the best training facilities in the North East with some of the best coaches I've ever met.

Pioneer Performance is a great place to train and importantly a really welcoming environment. The support you get from your trainer is brilliant. I’ve been training with Daniel for over 6 months now and I’ve felt supported and motivated throughout whether that’s during the sessions in the gym or questions regarding nutrition. I’ve tried to workout regularly previously but never been too successful. Pioneer provide you with a personalised plan, a trainer that will push you and keep you on track and a well equipped gym to work out. This has made a huge difference for me and I’d recommend Daniel and Pioneer to anyone looking to get fit, lose weight or just generally feel better.

Pioneer is easily the best place I've ever trained. The standard of the equipment, the level in which the whole place is kept and the people that work there is insane!!!. The family vibes they have instilled is crazy. Who'd have thought you'd make me fall in love with a hacksquat... A gym that actually gets you excited to train, the atmosphere is the most chilled laid back place and the good vibes and energy from everyone in the place is exactly what to expect. I honestly couldn't recommend this place to anymore people than I already have. What this place can do mentally, physically and for your overall wellbeing when the effort is put in changes your life. A massive thankyou and shout out to everyone at pioneer. But mainly a massive thankyou to pioneers own Sarah Tindale. Unfortunately our training has come to an end due to our house move otherwise we would have stayed, but what Sarah did for both me and my wife in just over 6 months is incredible. Having suffered through numerous injuries and surgery throughout the last 6 years. Training, sleeping and even walking became so painful due to pain in my lower back, lats and neck. I can say without question Sarah has changed my life for the better. The confidence and outlook on a better you she can give you is exactly why we stayed with her. An incredibly accomplished, talented and highly intelligent PT. She gave us both the confidence, strength and mental fortitude to be happy and healthy.

I’ve worked with Sarah at Pioneer for about 3 years now, and honestly the difference it’s made in my daily life is unbelievable. Everyone at pioneer is so supportive whatever your goals and whatever has happened in your day before you arrive at the gym. Not only am I physically stronger now but I have such a better relationship with myself and my body and I’m so much more confident in every aspect of life as a result. I’d absolutely recommend to anyone and everyone!

Recently attended a CPD workshop here and have to say the facilities were second to none. Great set up, with a huge array of Coaching and support staff in the form of an onsite physio team. Enjoyed our time here, thanks Pioneer.

I was blown away by the approach of Pioneer Performance from my very first consultation. They asked a lot of in depth questions to find out more about me and my goals for personal training, which allowed them to build a plan for me that was effective and progressive but not overwhelming. The process of matching with a PT was quick and easy. The personal training is brilliant. So much knowledge, encouragement and support, it’s priceless. There is a wide range of high end equipment and the gym itself has a great atmosphere. I was anxious at first, being in a gym environment, but Dan supported me to feel at ease from my very first session and, as well as making lasting changes to my fitness and physique, I am much more confident in gym settings as a result of his approach. I’d recommend Pioneer Performance to anyone.

Love coming to Pioneer for my PT sessions with Jane. It’s easy to get to and park and everyone was welcoming and friendly. The equipment is fab and appreciate being able to have good 1-1 time here. Jane has coached me for some time but never fails to inspire me and keep me motivated between visits. She was keen to understand what I need and provide the best way for me to get results, adapting if needed to help support and work with old injuries. I feel fitter, stronger and it really is such a positive part of my week. Thank you!

Having been recommended Pioneer Performance by a friend who has been going for a few years, I can honestly say it is the most welcoming and encouraging environment I have ever trained in. With the support, guidance and encouragement of my trainer, Matthew, I have already - in a short space of time - felt my body go through positive changes. I feel stronger and more confident than I have done in years, I am using weights and equipment I never would have thought possible, and really feel like Matthew and his team go above and beyond to make sure you push yourself to reach your goals with their help each step of the way. I would have no hesitation in recommending Pioneer Performance to anyone who really wants to positively change their mindset, and their body, with the help and guidance of real experts and professionals in a friendly atmosphere.

I can’t recommend pioneer performance enough, I worked with Dan as my PT after an operation and ended up building a lot of strength and confidence and managed to complete my first half marathon. If you’re looking to improve mentally and physically it’s the place to go. : )

I am beyond satisfied with my experience at Pioneer Performance, and words cannot describe how happy I was with my journey there. Over two years ago, when I first joined Pioneer, I was pleasantly surprised by the gym's impeccable appearance—always clean and organized. On my initial visit, I was warmly welcomed by the personal trainers there. My journey began with a meeting with Finn Stanley, who became my dedicated PT for the following two years. Finn is a professional who approaches his role with utmost seriousness, ensuring I always felt supported and cared for throughout my training. During my time at Pioneer, I gained invaluable knowledge about nutrition, food, and exercise routines, which significantly benefited me both in meal preparation and during solo workouts in the gym. Pioneer Performance and Finn have transformed my life for the better. Finn, not only an outstanding PT but also an exceptional individual, played a pivotal role in this transformation. I cannot speak highly enough of Pioneer and Finn—my highest recommendation goes to them!

I had so many reservations about starting personal training and had been putting it off for a while. After entering my 30’s, I could feel my body starting to change - I was wobbling in places I didn’t used to. 😂 It was my partner that recommended Pioneer as one of the most reputable gyms in the Newcastle area. I had my initial session with Matthew and I was impressed by the personalised approach to coaching. They really want to understand you, but also support you to understand yourself and your motivators. Based on this, I was paired with Anna. Since training with Anna, which has been about 3/4 months - I can now walk into a gym and feel confident in what I am doing. Through-out this whole process, she has empowered me, encouraged me and pushed me when I have needed it. Being coached has improved every aspect of my life. The confidence I have gained is spilling into my work life, into my personal relationships and my health in general. I feel better than I ever have. I have more of understanding of my body, and I know what it feels like to have energy and a drive to improve. A key thing that had prevented me getting coached in the past was a fear of the gym environment. I associated it with big egos and was terrified I would be laughed at. Pioneer is a great community of people that only ever want to support you. The atmosphere is so friendly, and not intimidating at all! If anyone is in 2 minds about being coached, please give it a go! I really can’t put into words how much it has pushed me to grow as a person. I really can’t thank Matthew and Anna enough 😁

I spent about 9 months at Pioneer Performance and Dan was my PT there. I could not recommend the team and Dan enough. I wanted to get into shape for my upcoming wedding as well as improve my general fitness and mental well-being. I managed to achieve this and then some! I attended sessions twice a week with Dan and he gave me workouts to do twice a week myself. I never thought I’d enjoy getting up at 6am for the sessions, but the sessions were so informative and fun (despite also been very hard)! You are pushed hard but you also get amazing results! I really recommend the team at Pioneer Performance for anyone wanting to lose weight, tone up and just generally feel better about yourself! I was certainly amazed with my results, well worth the money!

The pioneer gym floor is a friendly, professional and motivating environment. Having been coached here for over a year now, the results I have achieved are more than just physical, and this is all down to the coaches who instil positive habits and behaviours which have carried into other aspects of my life. I would just like to say thank you! And keep doing what you are doing. Best PT facility in the North!

Pioneer performance is a great place to train! The gym environment is friendly, clean, organised and inclusive. The equipment is outstanding and well maintained. All of the trainers are friendly and welcoming and it is clear they are passionate about fitness, health and well-being as they are constantly building their knowledge and skills. As someone who struggles to feel confident in a gym setting, I never feel intimidated or out of place in this gym! Working with Jane has really helped with that too. She’s supportive, encouraging and committed to my goals. Highly recommend Pioneer Performance

Hands down one of the best choices I've ever made training at Pioneer Performance. A year ago at age 46, at around 18.5 stone and 5 years into having T2 diabetes (which was getting worse year on year) I was told by my doctor if I didn't get my diabetes under control in the next 6 months I'd be T1 and on insulin for life. That was the kick up the backside I needed. I did extensive research into personal trainers & gym facilities in the Newcastle area and I liked everything I read about Pioneer Performance. After an initial friendly chat with Alex, and look around their facility I was paired with my PT Sam Bacon. Alex decided to pair me with Sam because he felt like Sam had the most appropriate skills and experience for my goals. Working with Sam has been fantastic, he's a genuinely nice person who really cares about helping you achieve your goals, his knowledge is fantastic and he can answer and explain to me any of the questions I have. All of the trainers at Pioneer are a friendly bunch and the gym has a really good atmosphere and a really good range of quality equipment. I could go on and on about how good the place is, but to be honest the best way I can sum it up is this, it's taken me a lot of years to realise that for me to be happy and achieve my goals I need to surround myself with others who want to see my succeed, and that is what I get from Pioneer Performance, people who genuinely want to see me achieve my goals and help me succeed. So fast forward to now, a year later, I'm now over 2.5 stone lighter, I feel fantastic, my energy levels are up, my diabetes is in REMISSION, I've went from taking 4 tablets a day to treat it (which was not working) to now being off medication altogether. My 2 goals when I started were to get my diabetes under control and to lose weight. I've achieved both of them. For me Pioneer Performance has been a life changing gym experience and I recommend it highly to everyone.

Pioneer Performance live up to their reputation. The staff are exceptional and very approachable, being able to tailor to different needs and goals. The variety of equipment is great and it's always a pleasure training there, would highly recommend!

This is a great place to train. The atmosphere is friendly and professional. The equipment is all top of the range and very well maintained. There is top notch physio on site as and when. Jane Latif works me hard and is well attuned to my needs, goals, etc. My strength, tone and balance has improved tremendously over the time I have been training with her and she is always available for advice on nutrition, stretching, ways to keep motivated and many other things besides. I would never have been able to keep on track without her. I have joined gyms before but never managed to keep up my training. Jane has made the difference and makes it enjoyable.

Pioneer is an excellent gym set-up, equipment is very good, and facilities superb too. I notice the gym is always clean and hygienic. I train with Jane and I cannot fault her expertise and knowledge. I am over 62 yrs old and she adapts to what works for me flawlessly. I am very happy how Jane has encouraged me to be more versatile in my training to get my "forgotten bits" to engage. She has a great eye for technique and is a font of knowledge. I have observed the other members of the Pioneer team working with their clients and I am equally impressed with them too. As trainers they all look the part and "walk their talk". It is a welcoming place, not intimidating, friendly and encourages diverse skills and abilities. A big recommendation from me, if you are looking for excellence in your Personal Training.

The best in the business! The Pioneer team tailor make a programme suited to you. 6 enjoyable months later I am more confident in applying the correct technique during my exercises, I am enjoying accountability for my nutrition and most importantly I am achieving my goals. Pioneer offer a 1-1 PT experience like no other. Do what I did and book in consultation and the rest will take care of itself!

I’ve been training with Jack and Pioneer for about 6 months now and could not recommend him or them highly enough. Couldn’t ask for a better team to work with and would challenge you to find a more friendly group of people, let alone PT’s, in the north east.

I’ve been training at Pioneer Performance with Anna since August last year and the 5 months we have been working together have been life changing! Anna’s knowledge and expertise have meant that I seen huge physical differences in my body. I have always maintained an active lifestyle but I have never seen my body look as strong as it does now and I am achieving goals I didn’t think would possible. The strength work we have been doing has meant that I am now able to get back running again after a knee problem, something I haven’t been able to do in over 2 years! But the biggest reason why I have made such huge strides over the past 5 months is because of Anna’s support. She has pushed me and supported me the whole way. She always comes to our training sessions with such positive energy and enthusiasm and makes me believe that I can lift heavier and keep going. I can’t thank Anna enough for all of her help so far and would definitely recommend Pioneer Performance to anyone wanting to achieve their health and fitness goals.

I cannot recommend pioneer performance enough. Daniel has quite literally transformed my life through his support, expertise and knowledge. I have lost 7.5 stones and increased my muscle tone an and cardio strength to be the fittest I have been in more than 30 years. A massive thank you is not enough. But you have given me years more than I was expected. THnk you

This gym is perfect. One to one PT sessions in an incredibly well designed gym. Because the gym is only open to people having a PT session, it's always reasonably quiet. Highly highly recommend investing in some time here

I've been at Pioneer Performance for over a year now and can say it's the best gym I've been to. Everyone is so welcoming, fun and hard-working. I've never once felt intimidated or 'out-of-place'. Great equipment, trainers and vibes!

I’ve been training at Pioneer Performance for a while now, and I genuinely cannot speak highly enough of this facility. Not only is it a great place to train, with exceptional equipment, but the coaches’ are all so welcoming and helpful, and their knowledge is second to none. Aside from the fact I have seen such a positive change in my physique, my general well-being, and my energy levels, I’ve realised my confidence has sky rocketed, both in and outside of the gym. And all of this is thanks to the guidance and coaching I’ve received at Pioneer. The specifically tailored programming and the unwavering support of the coaches has been so valuable to my development. The results I’ve achieved so far have been genuinely life changing - I cannot thank Pioneer enough! If you’re thinking of making a change to your physical health, Pioneer Performance is where you need to be!

I’ve been training with Dan at Pioneer for a year now, and for each of those 365 days my experience has been nothing less than fantastic. I have PT sessions with Dan and am a key holder member, meaning I can train even when the gym is empty as it suits my schedule. From my first consultation with Matty, to my most recent session this afternoon, it has always been a pleasure (and often a challenge - thanks Dan) stepping into the gym. Great equipment, lovely aesthetics, great atmosphere and no egos - all the coaches happy to take time to help you if you need it. As a special mention to Dan, I’ve so enjoyed working with him and he’s taught me a lot about myself and about resilience and been so supportive. To date we are about 20kg down and I’m feeling as good physically as I have done for years, despite having been an experienced gym goer. You really don’t realise how much you coast when you train alone! Thanks for everything guys

Having previously felt a little intimidated and overwhelmed in commercial gyms by my own lack of knowledge and confidence, and feeling very in the way of the sheer number of other gym users, Pioneer Performance has been a game changer! Matty has spent the last 7 months educating, coaching, and transforming my fitness levels, physique and perception of the gym environment, whilst also offering support with any other day-to-day struggles too. The rest of the team are friendly and approachable, and I wouldn’t hesitate to ask for advice if ever I’m in the gym when my own PT isn’t around. The facility itself is spacious and very well maintained, so there’s no fighting for equipment in a packed, sweaty gym. I can’t recommend joining strongly enough, with the results I’m seeing I wish I’d done it years ago!
