That’s the best way to describe the new gym opening up in the CBD.
The Gym on King sits in Newcastle’s first mixed-use development at 291 King Street, the building with the veins on its façade representative of the renewed energy that is hitting town.
The owners have promised to do things a little differently.
So, alongside their state-of-the-art equipment and integrated technology pieces, the developers and design team have paid homage to the foundations of the past with its vintage styling and kept the feel “all-inclusive” with their choice of messaging.
“291 King Street was home to Gibson’s British Iron Foundry, where ‘Men of steel worked with steel’, where there was ‘machinery of the most modern type’ and where the Gibson family continuously innovated products to meet the needs of the Newcastle community,” manager Kate said.
“We’ve been inspired by their stories and built a multi-functional space we want people to feel comfortable in.
“It’s not about who is the prettiest or biggest.
“We want this space to be about a community you want to be a part of.
“Life can be way too serious sometimes, so let’s have some fun.”
The development will also be home to a long day childcare centre, boast 50 boutique-serviced apartments available for short-to-medium term stays and three floors of A grade commercial office space totalling some 7000sqm.
The team is currently seeking a café/bar operator who they believe will be the heart and soul of this integrated mixed-use facility.
“We are looking for that special hospitality team, who is keen to grow as we do and unafraid to be innovative,” owner and developer Darren Nicholson said.
“We’re working hard to bring the best in class together to create something special for Newcastle and we see the café operator as being the tenant to tie it all collectively.”
Foundation memberships with be offered soon, so jump onto the Gym on King social pages and follow the progress.
In fact, the first 500 to join will go into the draw to win a FITBENCH (a game-changing all-in-one home workout piece like nothing you have seen before).
