Nothing is more rewarding than seeing a person make changes to their lifestyle and achieve their goals and at Axis Fitness, you can do just that !
Working mainly in the office, I look after the Admin for the gym, keeping the wheels turning while the Instructors look after you. I train in the gym and sometimes cover shifts, so say Hi to me next time you are in.
See you soon 🙂

Hey, I’m Claire
My work background is in nursing, however I have always had a keen interest in health and fitness.
After completing my Level 2 Gym instructor qualification, I joined the Axis Fitness family. I love to help people improve their health, well being and self esteem. I thrive to see people become happier and healthier in themselves, physically and mentally.
I am passionate about martial arts training, in particular Muay Thai.
Keeping all the members happy is my main priority and I am always happy to help.
From our members
Great gym, fantastic team of skilled instructors who are always on hand to help and advise. Highly recommend!
Great gym with great staff. Never really been sure what I am meant to be doing in the gym but the staff here gave me a programme to follow and advice on what I should be eating. Anyone worried about starting up need not a very welcoming friendly atmosphere
Excellent team excellent instructors excellent equipment! I haven’t felt this comfortable going in to a gym on my own... I now really enjoy the gym ... definitely recommend ... brilliant!
Surely the most organised and best equipped gym in the Newcastle area.
Been a member here since August now after joining on a years pt program and getting great results dropped over 4 stone and counting feeling stronger after every session trained with Steve Sean Paul and Al they all push you too achieve your max potential and always there to offer advice and answer your questions great gym great staff.
After being diagnosed with two badly prolapsed disks in my spine, two doctors independantly said that spinal surgery was the only thing that would get me out of pain. Steve Davis prepared a specific exercise program for me and I am now almost 100% ok. Highly recommended
Brilliant gym. Nautilus resistance training machines are the best in the world and can produce the fastest results. Steve Davis is one of the most knowledgeable people I have met with regard to exercise physiology and nutrition; using this to create practical and achievable goals. Loving the new gym!
For someone who hated gyms and said would never go in one I love it. Fab gym..friendly and very helpful staff. Thoroughly enjoy my workouts and what's more the whole family goes. Great variety of equipment to use.
