More than 64% of young girls drop out of sport before the age of 16.

Think about that.

At an age when confidence is still being built, so many girls are already stepping away from sport, movement and environments where they can discover just how strong and capable they are.

And for a lot of women, getting back into those environments years later can feel intimidating.

That’s something we want to change.

Women in sport might be getting the attention it deserves right now, but this needs to be more than a trend.

At Alpha Newcastle, we want to create a space where women feel comfortable walking through the door, picking up weights, getting fitter, getting stronger and actually enjoying training.

That’s why I’ll be coaching our new WOMEN’S ONLY classes.

Whether you’ve trained your whole life, haven’t trained since school, or have never stepped foot in a gym before, there’s a place for you here.

Because girls dropping out of sport shouldn’t become women believing sport isn’t for them.

Let’s change the statistic.

WOMEN’S ONLY at Alpha Newcastle.

Message the page or Jody to secure one of the remaining founding memberships.

You put the work in Monday to Friday, however that looks for you.

Maybe that’s been alongside others in class. Maybe it’s been you, your own programme and your own effort.

But Saturday is where we bring it together.

SATURDAY SWEAT is your chance to partner up, work as a team and push each other that little bit harder. Teams of 2, every Saturday, built to challenge you and finish the week strong.

You’ve put the work in all week. Now see what you can do together.

Reminder booking is essential - this week’s workout will be released on our stories later today.

A new chapter for Alpha HPF

For anyone who doesn’t know me, I’m Ruairí, Sports Therapist, PT & S&C Coach, with experience across individual coaching, group training, sports therapy and working with athletes and teams

I’ve also been fortunate to play hurling at county level with Down, experiencing first-hand what goes into performing in a high-performance environment while balancing the demands of everyday life

Being on both sides, as an athlete and a coach, has shaped how I approach training: good coaching, structured programming and creating an environment where people understand what they’re doing and why

That’s what I’m excited to bring to Alpha Newcastle

A coaching-led strength & performance facility for athletes and everyday people who want to get stronger, fitter and more capable

I’ll be leading the main strength & performance programme, with plenty more to come as we grow 📈

Looking forward to seeing you on the Newcastle floor 🕺

Something new is coming to Alpha Newcastle… 👀

I’m Jody, and a lot of you probably already know me from Alpha. For the past 6 years, I’ve coached a lot of different people, with 4 of those years spent coaching at Alpha Castlewellan.

Throughout that time, I’ve worked varied people but a huge part of my experience has been coaching women - helping them become stronger, gain confidence and independence in the gym.

This is the reason behind creating a female only space in Alpha Newcastle👇🏼

These female-focused classes will be a space where women can feel comfortable, safe, supported and determined to work towards their own fitness goals.

And for all the busy mums out there… children under 2 are welcome to come along with you👶🏼

These classes will be about creating a community of women who support, encourage and challenge each-other along the way.

Founding memberships are still available and will be closing in a few weeks so get in sooner rather than later!

If you are interested, send myself or Alpha HPF a message and we can get back to you with more information ✨

When I first opened the doors to Alpha HPF, I had a clear idea of what I wanted to create. It was never meant to be just another gym. I wanted to build something with real standards, a strong identity and a community people were proud to belong to. Looking back now, I couldn’t have imagined how far it would go or how much it would come to mean to me.

Alpha has become a massive part of my life. There have been long days, difficult decisions and plenty of sacrifices behind the scenes, but seeing what it has grown into has made it all worthwhile.

Now, as we get ready to open Alpha HPF Newcastle, I feel incredibly proud. Not simply because we’re opening a second location, but because of what it represents, how far Alpha has come and where we’re capable of taking it next.

I genuinely couldn’t have done any of this without the support of my family and the brilliant team of coaches around me. Along with our members and everyone who has believed in Alpha from the beginning, they’ve all played a massive part in getting us to this point. I’ll never take that support for granted.

Behind the build

What started as an empty unit is slowly beginning to look and feel like Alpha. The lighting is going in, equipment is arriving and the smaller details are starting to come together

There’s still plenty to do, but every decision is being made with one goal, to create a facility Newcastle can be proud of

We’re getting closer

The community isn’t changing, It’s growing 🖤

More to come.
