98 Gym Newcastle

98 Gym Newcastle is a strength and conditioning gym at 2/125 Bull Street in Newcastle CBD, built around coached group training and progressive programming. Its classes are designed to develop strength, conditioning and overall performance, with sessions structured so members can continue building their capabilities over time. Programming is created by the experienced Team 98 coaching staff rather than left to members to navigate alone.

The class schedule covers several training styles and focuses, including STS Strength + Sprint, lower-push and lower-pull strength sessions, upper strength, Energy System Development, Hybrid, Hybrid+, and 98 Game Day. That gives members a range of ways to train while keeping the emphasis on structured, goal-based work. The gym also offers open gym access as an add-on for some memberships, alongside access to its 98 Training app and purpose-built programming.

Membership options include part-time plans for two or three classes a week, unlimited class memberships, casual visits, visitor passes and 10-class packs. The site also advertises a one-month introductory trial for $98, while listed memberships include coaching, app access and, depending on the plan, open gym access and complimentary weekly visits to other 98 locations. Visitors can book single classes or short passes, making the venue accessible to people who want to try the training before committing.

The coaching team brings substantial experience across professional sport, strength and conditioning, the Australian Defence Force, personal training and athletic development. The Newcastle team includes coaches with backgrounds connected to the NRL, Newcastle Knights Pathways, rugby, professional football and human performance. Sarah Dunne also describes a focus on helping people feel welcomed and comfortable in a gym, while the wider coaching approach is centred on education, individual needs and ongoing improvement. It is best suited to Newcastle locals who value expert-led group sessions, whether they are training regularly, returning from a break or looking for a more structured alternative to independent gym workouts.
