Our Story.
"I wanted to create a real community gym — where people feel safe, and where they can realise their true potential."
Alpha Athletic was founded in May 2018 by Maurice — a coach with 23 years of industry experience, shaped by some of London's best private and corporate facilities.
His mission was simple: bring a genuinely great gym to Newport. A space where people feel safe to train, push themselves, and realise what they're capable of — and where being part of something bigger than just your workout is part of the deal. Seven years on, that mission hasn't changed. We've just kept building on it.
Built on three principles. Community, quality, and the belief that great training goes well beyond the weights room.
A welcoming atmosphere where everyone belongs, from their very first session.
Premium equipment, maintained to the highest standard. Every piece matters.
Every programme, every session — designed around your goals, ability, and lifestyle.
The people behind Alpha Athletic.
23 years in the industry. Maurice established Alpha Athletic in 2018 with one goal — to build a community gym where people feel safe and can realise their true potential. He's still here every day making sure that's exactly what it is.

The most comfortable place to train as a woman. I was nervous about going into a gym and feeling silly — but at Alpha you feel welcome and staff are always happy to help.
I've never felt awkward or uncomfortable coming into Alpha. Everyone is welcoming and supportive — both staff and members. It's such a lovely community to be a part of.
