Sunrise Fitness

Sunrise Fitness is a group-training gym built around full-body workouts, with a different session each day. The programme is designed for a broad range of ages, fitness levels and goals, whether you are working towards weight loss, building muscle, improving endurance or simply looking for a regular workout. The gym also offers indoor and outdoor training, giving members more than one way to stay active.

The studio’s approach is deliberately inclusive. Its stated philosophy is to have people of different ages and abilities train together in a safe, friendly setting, without making the gym feel intimidating. Workouts can introduce teenagers to strength and aerobic fitness, and the venue presents training as something families can do together. Training is recommended for people aged 13 and over. The website also highlights flexible memberships, allowing members to train in a way they enjoy and at a time that suits them.

The Adamstown studio is described as fully equipped and accessible, with a gym floor, stretching area, reception space and women’s, men’s and accessible toilets. It is air conditioned and has floor-to-ceiling windows that bring in plenty of natural light. The equipment includes machines and weights, while the layout also provides a quieter area for stretching or taking a breather. The result, according to the venue’s own description and member feedback, is a practical space where people can work towards results while feeling supported rather than judged.

Sunrise Fitness is led by founder and personal trainer Steve Henderson, who has more than 25 years’ experience in the fitness industry. His background includes running personal training studios, working with the Newcastle Jets training staff and fitness coaching for rugby league, rugby union and netball teams. He is joined by personal trainers Tallulah Langford and Carly Humphries, both of whom are described as passionate about helping members progress. The website’s testimonials repeatedly mention approachable trainers, varied sessions and a welcoming mix of members. Sunrise Fitness is listed in Pokolbin, Newcastle, while the venue’s website identifies the studio at 3/156 Brunker Rd, Adamstown.
