Our Community Initiative
We built this space so that everyone could access quality services for their physical and mental health. Whilst we need to operate as a commercial business we run various free classes and events alongside to reach the wider community.
Our Pledge
We firmly believe that we can widely change the way physical and mental health is viewed, that fitness and self-care will no longer be a luxury but a way of life for all.
Which is why we aim to offer one free class a day to a charity organisation, underrepresented group or specialist population.
