Anytime Fitness Salamander Bay

Anytime Fitness Salamander Bay is a locally owned and operated gym at 4/8 Central Avenue, serving members in Salamander Bay and the wider Nelson Bay area. Membership includes access to the club 24/7, along with worldwide access to more than 6,000 Anytime Fitness locations. That makes it a practical option for people fitting workouts around changing schedules, work or travel rather than relying on standard staffed hours.

The gym offers a broad mix of cardio, strength and functional training equipment. The listed setup includes treadmills, elliptical cross-trainers, exercise bikes, stair climbers, rowing machines and spin bikes, as well as squat racks, plate-loaded equipment, kettlebells, dumbbells, barbells and a multi-functional rack. Functional training equipment includes TRX, battle ropes, medicine balls, plyometric boxes, BOSU equipment, jump ropes and resistance bands. Members also have access to private showers and restrooms, convenient parking, 24-hour security and free classes.

Support extends beyond the equipment floor. The club offers fitness consultations, assessments, personal training and personalised plans designed around different goals and fitness levels. The coaching team includes Tony Huynh, who focuses on confidence, weight loss and muscle gain; Hayden McGlinchy, who works across body composition, strength, general health and support for NDIS participants; and Tanya Morton, who specialises in strength training for women over 40. Their experience gives the gym particular relevance for members looking for structured guidance rather than training entirely on their own.

The wider team also contributes to the club’s welcoming, community-focused approach. Assistant Manager Jade Attard has a nutrition certificate and experience with diet coaching, while Lily Wild supports members with a positive, encouraging approach. Club Manager Lauren Cousins oversees the day-to-day member experience and describes her focus as creating an environment where people feel supported and valued. With 24/7 member access, individual coaching and equipment suited to beginners through to more experienced gym users, the Salamander Bay club is best suited to solo members or anyone wanting a flexible, supported place to work towards health and fitness goals. Visits can be booked in advance to meet the team and view the facilities.
