ABOUT US

Pineapple Fitness is a women’s strength and conditioning facility based in Newcastle, NSW. We run a high-quality SGPT (Small Group Personal Training) model that blends education, strength training, health and community.

We believe in training for decades, not weeks; strength as a foundation for physical and mental resilience; and a coaching culture built on high standards, heart, and humour.
