FITNESS CENTRES IN NEWARK AND COLLINGHAM
Our Locations
Arena Health & Fitness UK is proud to be an independent, locally run fitness community with two gyms: one in the heart of Newark-upon-Trent and a second fitness centre in Collingham.
Unlike big chain gyms, we offer a personal touch. Our focus is on providing the very best equipment, expert support, and a positive environment where you can feel comfortable working towards your own goals at your own pace. We believe fitness should be inclusive and accessible - not intimidating.
Our Equipment
Our Newark and Collingham gyms are equipped with a full range of cardiovascular machines such as treadmills, cross trainers, rowing machines, and bikes. We also have a large selection of resistance equipment, and free weights, including multiple bench presses, a lifting platform, squat racks, and dumbbells up to 50kg.
We also offer a dedicated functional training zone, complete with a prowler track, battle ropes, kettlebells, farmer’s walk handles, and more. The space features a versatile training rig fitted with punch bags, TRX suspension, cable stations, and monkey bars - everything you need for strength, conditioning, and functional fitness.
Our Team
Martin Clurow - Owner & Personal Trainer
Having worked in the fitness industry since the day he left school, Martin now has over 15 years of experience. Starting out as a Fitness Instructor in a busy leisure centre gym, he went on to complete his Level 3 Personal Trainer qualification to become a self-employed PT and now runs his own gym, Arena Health and Fitness UK.
“I absolutely love my job! I feel very lucky to wake up every morning and look forward to going to work. From being employed, self-employed, running classes, personal training and running my own gym I feel I've experienced loads that the fitness industry has to offer. I get a real buzz from helping people and seeing them achieve or exceed their goals. It's such a rewarding career.”
Martin isn't one for sitting back or slowing down and still has further aspirations.
“I'm ambitious and very excited about progressing the gym further. We have lots of ideas and plans of how we want to grow and develop the business. There's no plans to sit still - moving premises in 2019 was just the start of a new chapter!
I also look forward to expanding my personal training business, The Fitness Mentor, too. I continue to educate myself and increase my knowledge which in turn benefits my clients.”

Kirsty (The Relatable PT) - Personal Trainer
I’m a proud mum of two, and my journey into fitness has been far from straightforward. I wasn’t always into exercise. I spent years overweight, lacking confidence, and struggling with my health. I know how intimidating gyms can feel and how hard it is to take that first step. Through consistency and determination, I lost over 9 stone, built strength I never imagined, and discovered a love for fitness that changed my life. More importantly, I gained energy, confidence, and belief in myself.
That experience inspired me to become a PT. I specialise in helping people who feel nervous, stuck, or unsure where to start. My coaching is about empathy, accountability, and real, sustainable progress that fits around your busy lives. So if you’re looking for a PT who gets it who understands the struggles and juggles because she’s lived them I’d love to help. Whatever your goal is fat loss, muscle building, or simply feeling better in your own skin I’ll be here to support you every step of the way.

Jack Simmons - Personal Trainer
My journey into personal training started many years ago from a genuine love for health, fitness, and seeing what the human body is capable of. Over the years, I’ve seen how movement, strength, and discipline can completely transform someone’s life, not just physically, but mentally too. My goal as a trainer is to help people live healthier, happier lives by unlocking their true potential.
There’s nothing more rewarding than watching someone realise what they can achieve, take on new challenges, and surpass their own expectations. That feeling is absolutely priceless. I’ve always been involved in the health and fitness world, and I honestly don’t see what I do as work, it’s a passion. I believe in keeping things simple; fitness doesn’t have to be complicated. With so many fad diets and viral fitness trends out there, people often lose sight of what really matters. For me, it all comes down to consistency and discipline, get that right, and the rest will take care of itself.

Abigail - Personal Trainer
Hi, I’m Abigail and I am a certified Personal Trainer and professional Dancer.
Coming from the dance industry I have seen a lot of unhealthy relationships with both food and exercise so my goal it to help people avoid this!
My method of training is aiding clients in achieving their fitness goals, whatever that may be, whilst keeping the process enjoyable and non-restrictive. For me, the mental benefits of exercise are just as important as the physical.
I work with people of all ages and abilities; whether you are a regular gym goer and need someone to help you reach a specific goal or if you're new to exercise and need someone to boost your confidence! Let's work together to create a lifestyle you love.

Lauren Loftus - Personal Trainer
Lauren has 4 years of experience as a fitness instructor and personal trainer. Lauren specialises in both strength and body weight training.
Her goal? To help sculpt the body you want and creating a positive/realistic mindset with fitness and nutrition by still doing the things we enjoy. Lauren has many years of experience within weight/strength training but over the past couple years she has been focusing much more on body weight training especially within callisthenics.
Lauren wants to show people how to make fitness not just a hobby but a way of life and have some fun whilst doing it!
Jake - Personal Trainer (At Collingham)
With over 10 years of coaching experience, I’ve had the privilege of coaching 1,000+ people worldwide through life-changing transformations. I’ve also hosted seminars, guided client photoshoots, and supported individuals at every stage of their fitness journey.
My coaching style is supportive, motivating, and empathetic. I take the time to understand each client’s goals on a deeper level, not just “I want to lose 2 stone,” but why that goal matters. From there, I build flexible nutrition plans and progressive training sessions that fit real life, not the other way around.
Clients often say they make progress quickly, build better habits, and see changes not only physically but mentally too. I believe the most important part of anyone’s transformation is their mindset, and I’m here to help you strengthen that just as much as your body. I genuinely care about helping people succeed and making sure we have a good laugh along the way!
If you’re short on time, lacking consistency, struggling with confidence, or just need more structure and support, I’d love to coach you. DM me the word "TRANSFORM" on my Instagram @jakemurphycoaching
Let’s work together and make your goals happen.
