ÅND Studios: Where Strength Is Built Together
In a world that celebrates the hustle, ÅND Studios was created to slow things down — to create space for connection, collaboration, and community.Opening this October on Gosforth High Street, ÅND Studios is reimagining what it means to work — and thrive — as a wellness professional.
The Spirit of ÅND
At its heart, ÅND (pronounced and) is about togetherness. The name itself — a nod to the Danish word for spirit or breath — captures the essence of the studio’s philosophy: true strength isn’t built alone, it’s built together.
A Space for the Professionals Behind the Wellness Movement
ÅND Studios has been designed for personal trainers, coaches, therapists, and wellness practitioners who want to elevate their practice without the overheads or isolation of going it alone.
It’s more than a studio — it’s a curated community. Members gain access to premium training and therapy spaces, a supportive environment, and shared infrastructure that helps them focus on what they do best: transforming lives.
From performance training and rehabilitation to mindfulness and movement, every corner of ÅND has been built to empower the experts behind the sessions.
For too long, the people driving wellness forward have worked in silos. ÅND brings them together under one roof — to learn, collaborate, and grow.
More Than a Gym — A Collective Energy
The studio’s design reflects its mission. Sleek, minimalist, and full of light, the space blends modern performance facilities with a warm, organic aesthetic.
But what really sets ÅND apart is its atmosphere — calm yet energising, professional yet welcoming.
“We wanted to create a space where you walk in and feel it,” says the team behind ÅND.
“It’s not just about the equipment. It’s about the energy — the people, the conversations, the sense of belonging.”
That shared purpose extends beyond the physical walls. ÅND will host workshops, community events, and collaborations between practitioners — ensuring connection and professional development remain at the core of its mission.
A Community Rooted in Gosforth
Gosforth was chosen deliberately — a vibrant, connected community where people value health, balance, and togetherness.
Located right on the High Street, ÅND Studios offers easy access for both practitioners and their clients.
By embedding itself in the local area, ÅND aims to strengthen not just its members’ businesses, but also the broader wellbeing landscape of Newcastle.
It’s a place where local professionals can thrive, and where residents can find trusted, high-quality care and training.
The Vision Moving Forward
While the doors are only just opening, the vision for ÅND stretches far beyond one postcode.
The long-term plan is to grow a network of studios that share the same values — spaces across the UK that champion collaboration over competition and redefine what it means to be part of the wellness industry.
But for now, the focus is on community — bringing together the city’s most forward-thinking practitioners and creating something truly special in Gosforth.
Join the Founding Community
ÅND Studios officially opens in October 2025, with an exclusive launch preview on Thursday 23rd October at 7pm.
We’re bringing together a select group of personal trainers, therapists, and wellness professionals to experience the space before it opens — to connect, collaborate, and shape the community at its core.

Spaces are limited and carefully curated to ensure every voice adds value.
Because this isn’t just another gym —
It’s a movement. And it’s only just beginning.
