Morning, evening, and weekend sessions. Something for every schedule.
More classes, more choices, more you. Two new 6am StrongHer sessions start the week of Monday 14 September. All times are approximate; check with Donna for any schedule changes.
Sunday mix: Sundays vary week to week, rotating through RipaFIT, StrongHer and Legs, Bums and Tums. Ask Donna to see what's on this week.
StrongHer is a strength and conditioning session for women who want to be fit, strong and toned, and to challenge themselves to be fitter and healthier in body and mind. It uses a combination of weights and cardio equipment, and it's suitable for all abilities and ages. It runs eight times a week, six mornings and two evenings, and it's ongoing: no blocks, no end date, just keep coming and keep getting stronger.
You'll train in a small coached group, working through weights and cardio equipment at your own level, with every session coached. Most women do three or four sessions a week, mixing mornings and evenings around their life, with a group of women around them who notice when someone's missing.
When: Mon to Fri 6:00am and Sat 9:00am, plus Mon & Wed 6:00pm. The Tue & Thu 6:00am sessions are new and start the week of Monday 14 September | Introductory offer: £80 for 8 weeks of the Mon & Wed 6pm classes. Works out around £5 a session

Donna leads every session herself. A former sprinter ranked in the UK's top five, with 32 years in the industry and 20+ qualifications, she keeps you safe, motivated and progressing. No guesswork, just structured training that works.
No mixed classes. Our women-only environment means you can focus entirely on your training without distraction or discomfort.
Sessions are intentionally kept small so Donna can give proper attention to everyone in the room. You're not just a number.
Most women who message us say the same thing: they haven't trained in years and they're worried about walking in. So here's exactly how it goes, start to finish, with nothing left to guess.
Your first session is free. Tell her roughly when you can make it and she'll find you a slot that has space. That's the whole booking process, no forms and no sign-up.
We're at 11c Victoria Industrial Estate, Hebburn, NE31 1UB. Parking is free and right outside the gym on the estate, so you're not hunting for a space or paying to sit in a car park.
Come 5 or 10 minutes early. That gives you time to say hello to Donna properly and settle in before you start. There are toilets you can get changed in, though most people just turn up ready to train.
Around an hour, coached start to finish by Donna. You'll work in a small group, and every movement is adjusted to what you can do on the day. If something doesn't suit you, she'll give you a different way to do it. Nobody is watching you and nobody is comparing.
You can take a breather, sit one out or ask for something easier at any point, and not a single person will comment. Everyone in that room has had a session where they needed it.
No hard sell on the day. Donna will message you the next day to see how you found it, how you're feeling, and whether you'd like to join. Ask her anything you want to know about memberships then, and if you'd rather take longer to think about it, that's completely fine.
The bits people worry about most
"I'll be the least fit one there." Our members range from 21 to 70, and from complete beginners to women who've trained for years. Every session is mixed, and that's normal.
"I won't know what I'm doing." That's the whole point of a coached session. Donna tells you what to do, shows you how, and corrects you as you go. You're never left to work it out from a poster on the wall.
"I've got the kids." Bring them. There's a kids room they can use while you train, though it isn't supervised, so they stay your responsibility.
"I'll feel out of place." It's women only, and most of them started exactly where you are now.
The kids room is available at every session, so you can bring your children along with you instead of having to find a babysitter first.
Please note: the kids room is not supervised and No Lippy Fitness is not a registered childcare provider. Children remain the responsibility of their parent or carer at all times, and use the room at the member's own discretion. Members must remain on-site during their session.
Get in touch and we'll help you pick the right sessions to get started.
