📍 LOCATION ANNOUNCEMENT — WE’RE MOVING TO CARDIFF!

Newcastle Barbell is moving from Wallsend to Cardiff 💪

One of the biggest things we considered when choosing our new home was making sure we didn’t move too far away from our existing members.

The good news? We’re only around 8km / 10 minutes from our current location, so for most members, the difference in travel time is pretty small.

But the move puts us closer to Lake Macquarie, with easier access from areas like Charlestown, Belmont and Toronto, while still keeping Newcastle within easy reach.

Same community. Better facility. New home. 🏠

📍 Cardiff — 2 weeks.
