Inclusive is the new Exclusive!
At Strong + Bendy we believe INCLUSIVE IS THE NEW EXCLUSIVE
It used to be the case that if you could afford to, you’d choose your gym based on how exclusive it was… social media influencer trainers, Kiehl’s products in the bathrooms and one type of ‘perfect’ body pushed upon you that you were meant to be striving for. But we’ve seen an exciting shift in the industry for customers caring about their gym being inclusive rather than exclusive.
Strong + Bendy is a for-profit business and we appreciate we aren’t ‘cheap’ (sadly rents and rates in Hackney Wick dictates our pricing), however our impact on the local community is really important to us and we strive to make fitness inclusive and accessible where we can.
Below is some more information on the community work we do and you can read in more detail here.
Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
