About Sunrise

Every age,every level

Sunrise Fitness Newcastle is a group training gym built on one simple philosophy: people of all ages and fitness levels training together in a safe and friendly environment.

Our philosophy

One floor,one community

Our philosophy sets the framework for every class we write, every new idea we have and every goal we set out to achieve. Trainers are always available to educate, inspire and motivate you, in and out of the gym.

Our workouts are a great way to introduce teenagers to strength and aerobic fitness, and a fantastic way to get the whole family training together in a way everyone loves. Members range from 13 to 70 plus.

The Sunrise Fitness coaching team shares a laugh on the gym floor

Steve Henderson Founder · Personal Trainer

Over 25 years in the training and fitness industry as a gym owner and personal trainer, with a Cert IV in Fitness and 13 and a half years owning and operating personal training studios. Steve was on the training staff for the victorious 2007–08 Newcastle Jets and played rugby league for the Cronulla Sharks and St George Dragons. After football he wanted training that was fit for life, not competition, and built Sunrise around exactly that.

“Steve and his team are welcoming, encouraging and knowledgeable.” Simone S. · Google review

Tallulah Langford Personal Trainer

Health and fitness is Tallulah's passion, which is why she completed her Cert III and IV in Fitness. She has competed in sport for years, most recently a ten-week fight camp and a NSW combat sports sanctioned boxing bout, and has trained for a fitness and figure competition. She loves coaching the group classes at Sunrise.

Carly Humphries Personal Trainer

Carly started training at Sunrise when it first opened in 2020, and her dedication was admired by every trainer and member on the floor. Fitness became her true passion, so she completed her Certificate III in Fitness in 2022. Now she brings that same dedication to helping others reach their goals.

“Huge shout out to Carly who has trained me the most, she's a legend!” Belinda C. · Google review
