Gym Facilities at our Newcastle Hotel
Staying fit on the road is easier when the gym is a walk from your room. Guests at The Executive get complimentary access to Balance Collective gym at Wests New Lambton, a two-storey fitness centre with Precor cardio, free weights and a full class timetable. Pick up your Fitness Pass at reception and train whenever it suits you, early, late, or between meetings.
For guests looking for a Newcastle hotel with gym access included rather than charged as an extra, The Executive covers it as part of your stay.
Complimentary Gym Access for Hotel Guests
Gym access is free for all hotel guests aged 18 and over. There's no daily fee, no booking system and no need to sign up for a membership. Ask our Guest Services team for your Fitness Pass when you check in, and it covers you for the length of your stay.
Balance New Lambton sits on Tauranga Road, on the doorstep of the hotel and part of the same Wests precinct you can walk through for dining. You can be out of your room and on the gym floor in a couple of minutes, which is the practical advantage of a hotel with gym in Newcastle attached to a full fitness centre rather than a single room of equipment.
How to get your Fitness Pass
Ask at the hotel reception desk, which is staffed 24 hours. Our team will issue your pass and point you towards the gym entrance.
What's in the Gym
Balance Collective New Lambton runs across two fully equipped floors, so there's room to train properly rather than queue for the one bench. The gym floor covers cardio, free weights and machine work, with a dedicated space for lifting.
Cardio
Precor treadmills, cross trainers, and both recumbent and upright bikes, all fitted with touch screens. Enough spread across the floor that you can get on a machine at peak times.
Strength and free weights
A fully equipped loading zone for barbell work, plus free weights running from dumbbells through to pin-and-plate machines. It covers both ends, from maintaining a full program to keeping things simple while you travel.
Classes and small group training
Balance runs its signature small group training sessions and spin classes, alongside a broader timetable that takes in fitness, strength, yoga and pilates. Check the Balance timetable for what's running during your stay. Confirm with reception before joining a class, since some sessions are booked separately.
Pool and swim
Back at the hotel, our two outdoor pools and 12-seat spa are the easier option for a recovery lap or a soak after training. See the pools and spa for what's on-site.
