New Level Gym
An independent strength gym on Pallion Industrial Estate, opened in 2017, with equipment for powerlifting and strongman training as well as general fitness.
About New Level Gym
New Level Gym is an independent gym in a unit on Centralway, Pallion Industrial Estate, on the south bank of the Wear west of the city centre. It opened in 2017 and has built its reputation around serious strength work, with kit for powerlifting and strongman training that most chain gyms do not carry, such as atlas stones and a car deadlift.
The gym is not only for competitive lifters. Alongside the strength floor there is cardio equipment and a programme of group workouts, so it also suits people who want a well-equipped room with a sense of community rather than a large commercial gym. Being on an industrial estate, it has a practical, no-frills feel and is easy to reach by car from Pallion, Millfield and Hylton. Check the gym's website for current membership options and opening times.
