PhysiquePro expands to Ponteland with six‑figure investment

Newcastle‑based boutique gym operator PhysiquePro is set to open its third site in Ponteland, Northumberland, with an official launch scheduled for 17 August. The expansion follows the opening of its first gym at Bakers Yard in Gosforth in August 2024 and a second location at Great Park in December 2025.

PhysiquePro secured a six‑figure loan from the North East Elevate Fund, which is managed by FW Capital and forms part of Mayor Kim McGuinness’ £100 million regional investment framework. Founder Ryan Bolton, a finalist in the Rising Star category at the North East Business Awards, said the new gym is designed for “those who demand the best in every aspect of their lives” and will feature 24‑hour access, personal training, a health bar, sports‑therapy services and exclusive four‑person group classes, offering 40 weekly workouts. Senior investment executive Matt Elliott of FW Capital praised PhysiquePro’s premium offering and its contribution to the evolving boutique‑fitness sector.
