The Move Lab, Newcastle under Lyme

About

Based in Newcastle under Lyme, Staffordshire, The Move Lab is a fitness studio built around coached group workouts rather than a traditional gym floor. Its programme covers boxing, strength, HIIT, spin, sculpt, cardio and recovery sessions, set in a space with an industrial feel. Newcomers can try a free workout, and personal training and membership options are also available.

Group-based gyms like this generally suit people who prefer structured, time-efficient sessions where the planning is done for them. Classes tend to mix different training styles across the week, and a coached setting can help beginners build confidence while giving regulars a social, motivating routine.
