About ATD Fitness

We are a unique space for fitness lovers with a passion for variety.

We are a unique space for fitness lovers with a passion for variety. After realising we couldn't find a place that offered enough to consistently motivate us, we decided to create one.

Based on Seaham Grange Industrial Estate, we cater for all types of people from new to experienced or returning to exercise we have something for everyone.

ATD Fitness is a space that provides a mix of instructor-led classes for improved strength, endurance, flexibility, and wellness. You will be offered variety with our weight training, boot camp, HIIT, functional fitness, Aerobic and more. Not only do we have classes covered for you here at ATD Fitness but we also have one of the most successful Slimdown programmes around!

Our 6 Week Slimdown programme has been very successful and continues to grow! We have helped over 1000 people complete the Slimdown and get amazing results, so amazing that they come back and do a second, third and even fourth Slimdown programme with us. Our Slimdown doesn’t only help you lose that weight but it changes the way you look and feel about food, it helps you to change those habits to better healthy ones. Our unique Slimdown Programme is not just a quick fix, it’s designed to help you change how you deal with food and to help you fit it into your daily routine and lifestyle. If you haven’t given our Slimdown Programme a go then we highly recommend it!

Our vision is to create a community of like-minded people who share a passion for health and wellness for all. We owe it to ourselves and our families to be healthy in mind, body, and our day-to-day lives. We know how daunting it can be stepping into a new fitness class, and that’s why we pride ourselves on how much of a welcoming atmosphere we have. You will be instantly made to feel at ease from the moment you enter the building. ATD Fitness is managed by people/trainers who believe and share in this very vision, come join us and take that next step to a better version of yourself.

We have recently won The Community Fitness Newcomer Award at The National Fitness Awards 2021, this is something we are incredibly proud of. Please head over to our testimonial page to see our members' feedback and fantastic results.

We can’t wait to welcome you aboard.

    I have been a member at ATD Fitness since August 2022 and I thoroughly enjoy being part of their family. I am thrilled to take this next step to peruse instructing. I have recently qualified as a Level 2 Fitness Instructor in August 2023 and I will be looking into further courses in the near future to continue my journey into this industry.

    I have a love of the outdoors and enjoy getting out and about on walks with my dog Alfie. We like to find new places to explore but the beach will always be our favourite. I love travelling and still have many places to tick off my bucket list but the best place I have seen so far would have to be Dubai.

    Since beginning my fitness journey I have taught myself to be accountable, patient, dedicated, consistent and so much more. I cannot wait to teach you what I’ve learnt and to give you the motive and drive to achieve your goals here at ATD Fitness.

    I am so excited to see you all in class!!
