Our Story
291 King Street Newcastle
The Gym on King is an all in one fitness space located at 291 King Street in Newcastle. Inspired by the rich history of the building which was once home to Gibson's British Iron Foundry, where Novocastrians laboured with steel using the most modern machinery of their time. The Gibson family continuously innovated products to meet the needs of the Newcastle community, leaving behind a legacy of strength, innovation, and productivity.
Today, The Gym on King is a modern, state-of-the-art fitness centre that pays homage to the past while providing innovative exercise options and fitness experiences for the Newcastle community. We are equipped with cutting-edge technology and equipment to help our members achieve their fitness goals, and our trainers are passionate about fitness and dedicated to helping our members reach their best selves.

Whether you're a beginner or an experienced athlete, we have something for everyone at "The Gym on King". Our trainers are always available to offer guidance and support, and we take pride in our commitment to providing the best possible fitness experience.
Come visit us at The Gym on King and discover a fitness center that is rooted in history, innovation, and community. We are proud to be part of the Newcastle community and look forward to helping you achieve your fitness goals.
How The Gym on King Came to Be
The idea behind Gym on King was born out of a desire to create a fitness centre that was more than just a place to work out. It was envisioned as a community hub that would bring people together and help them to achieve their fitness goals in a welcoming and supportive environment.
We are a hybrid model, unique in our approach. We have taken all the best features from Group Personal Training studios and added an open-door policy on the rest of the facilities, so members get the best of both worlds!
The founders of Gym on King, Newcastle Locals, and fitness enthusiasts themselves are excited, because after years of building, planning and hard work, The Gym on King is opening!
Our Difference
The Gym on King is part of Newcastle's first mixed-use development. Owned and built by local Novocastrian Darren Nicholson and his team whose goal is to create a vibrant and spirited inter-generational space for families, workers, corporate guests and visitors to Newcastle.
Originally a carpark, the new development includes The Gym on King, a 55 place childcare centre, fresh food café, 7000sqm of commercial space and 50 boutique serviced apartments (so your friends and family can visit you in Newy!)
