Walks & a chat
Fresh air, good company and a chance to get to know each other.
A local fitness community
Strength for
your next chapter.
We're building a community for people in their 40s, 50s and 60s who want to feel stronger and healthier, enjoy being active together and support one another along the way.
We're based in Whickham, Gateshead, and welcome people from across the Newcastle area. Our first activities are planned for summer 2027.
What we're planning
Good company.
Room to be yourself.
Shared activities, time outdoors and encouragement to keep moving. We're exploring the ideas below as our plans take shape.
Getting stronger together
Friendly group strength programmes where you can learn the basics and build confidence, with a coach to help you along.
Something new
Ideas like outdoor Pilates, with friendly instructors we trust to help you get started and make you feel welcome.
Help when you want it
One-to-one coaching if you'd like some time to work on your own goals, at your own pace.
Some community activities, such as walks, may be free. Others, including coaching, group programmes and sessions with other instructors, may be paid.
We're also looking into additional ways to support people like a community boutique gym.
A welcome from Daniel
Hi, I'm Daniel.
At 40, I made myself a promise: to be fitter, stronger and healthier by 50 than I'd been for years. I'm still on that journey.
I'm starting NFC to share that journey with others. I felt too many people didn't feel comfortable in traditional gyms and fitness classes, and wanted to create a more open, supportive community.
You're more than welcome here. You can join in with as little or as much as you like, whether that's a walk and a chat or trying something new.
Why I started NFCWe're just getting started
Be part of our community.
Leave your name and email to join our founding community. You'll be among the first invited to get involved and join the events we're planning for summer 2027.
Joining the founding list is free, with no commitment to paid activities and we promise we'll only send relevant information, not spam because nobody likes that.
