The Hunter Health Project - Mayfield West, New South Wales

I've been a member for 3 years. Great gym for small group fitness. A solid mix of fitness (cardio, core) and strength (weight lifting). Sauna, ice bath and other recovery sessions also available.

Programming changes quarterly to focus on new skills and keep everyone engaged.

Great atmosphere, great members.

I have been doing PT lately with Zoe and loving my Friday mornings to myself. She never judges, just encourages. I even got a group at work together and now we do lunchtime workouts on a Wednesday - quick enough to get back to work but gets you off your desk. Highly recommend THHP and Zoe. She does afordable 30 or 60 min PT's too and there is a sauna. I went here before my little boy and it's the same fun vibe still 3 years later maybe better.

I go to The Hunter health project, despite my burning hatred for burpees and push-ups (seriously, who invented these torture methods? … probably Zoe)
But I can’t stay away, mainly because the post-Saturday sizzler coffee chats are worth the pain. The bathrooms even have pictures telling me I have a nice bum, which is the kind of positive reinforcement I need.

The trainers here are a mix of hilarity and hardcore. Matt is the ultimate hype man, always yelling at us because apparently we are trying to catch a dog or something?
Zoe seems to be preparing us for either the Olympics or a secret mission. Hardsey’s mini dance breaks makes the pain from the workouts almost enjoyable and J money is a master on the gym floor and my favourite on the gym playlist (dead lifting to country is a big vibe).

Despite the agony of rocking up to the gym and seeing a stacker workout on the board, this gym has somehow made me capable of riding a bike really fast without actually going anywhere and taking all my groceries from the car to the house in one trip.

The vibes at THHP are elite —nothing like any gym I’ve ever been to. We train hard so we can party hard and eat snacks even harder (balance right?)

If you want to join a place where you can laugh… a lot, have a nap in the recovery boots, get a nice booty, make some top teir mates and occasionally question your life choices while getting fit, this is it.
Plus, ‘Get the dog’ and ‘coupla cooked chooks’ are now permanently in my vocabulary.

Hands down the best gym I've ever trained at! Matt and Lucy not only set great workouts to improve physical fitness, but they have also created the most positive and supportive space to support mental wellbeing. Professional, enthusiastic, and always fun! I would recommend to absolutely anyone looking to start their fitness journey, or anyone looking for a change from the usual gym format!

By far the best choice I’ve made training at THHP!! Matt and Lucy are great trainers, knowledgeable in not only training methods but also nutrition, a very important aspect for me. The training sessions here is great and its FUN, with friendly members who push each other to improve. Training at THHP has not only improved my physical but also my mental state, I would not hesitate to recommend this gym to others. Love this place!!!

A fantastic gym and work-out community. Matt and Lucy have created a comfortable and inclusive environment for all levels of fitness. Would highly recommend that everyone give this place a visit if looking for an enjoyable gym experience in Newcastle! It's a great, open set-up with lots of space to get your sweat on 🙂

I knew Matt was a great coach as i’d trained with him before..I was following his story as he and partner Lucy opened their own gym... after a few months I thought it was time to go see what it was all about. Since joining their gym I have more motivation to go train and the best part is that you go to the gym to meet up with your mates and have a laugh..it’s not just about physical health but also mental health and that’s why I love the hunter health project. It’s a great community of legendary members!

The Hunter Health Project is amazing. Matt and Lucy really know their stuff, they get results and they actually care about their members.

So many great things I could mention, but what makes it the best are the people! Both staff and members are friendly, motivating and great fun!

I would definitely recommend THHP to anyone who’s looking for more than just a boring gym!
