Best Gyms in Hexham

Getting Fit in Hexham: Your Gym Guide

Hexham may be a market town rather than a city, but it punches above its weight when it comes to fitness options. Whether you want the full leisure-centre experience or a no-frills local gym, there are solid choices right in the centre of town.

Wentworth Leisure Centre

The main hub for fitness in Hexham is Wentworth Leisure Centre on Wentworth Place, operated by Places Leisure on behalf of Active Northumberland. The gym is well equipped with cardiovascular machines, resistance equipment, and free weights, and sits alongside a 25-metre, six-lane swimming pool, a learner pool, a spin studio, fitness studios, a sports hall, and a soft play area.

Group exercise classes run regularly, covering everything from cycling and aerobics to aqua fitness. Membership options are available through Active Northumberland, with pay-as-you-go access for those who prefer flexibility. You can book sessions via the Active Northumberland app.

No Limits Health and Fitness

For a more independent, community gym feel, No Limits on Fore Street is a strong alternative. This family-run gym sits right in the town centre and is consistently well reviewed with a 4.7-star rating. The kit includes Life Fitness cardio and resistance machines, treadmills, steppers, rowers, bikes, a Smith machine, free weights from 5kg to 50kg, a fitness studio, personal training, a sauna, and punch bags.

Classes include cycling, yoga, Zumba, and circuit training. Day passes are available from around £5.40, with monthly membership also on offer. It has a notably welcoming atmosphere that makes it popular with beginners and regulars alike.

Slaley Hall Hotel & Spa

A short drive south of Hexham, Slaley Hall Hotel & Spa operates a health club with the latest Life Fitness equipment, a pool, and a spa. It's available to day members and hotel guests, making it an option if you're after a more premium environment.

Which Gym is Right for You?

If you want swimming included, Wentworth is the obvious choice. If you want a central, friendly gym with solid kit and no frills, No Limits is hard to beat. Those after a luxury experience will find Slaley Hall worth the short drive.
