We are part of a movement that’s reclaiming exercise from the toxic wellness industry. Strong + Bendy is an inclusive studio that rejects the ‘norms’ of traditional gyms; we don’t believe anyone should be pressured to transform their body.
Being fit does not look a certain way. There are no expectations of how you should look or what your fitness level is to take one of our classes.
More information on if you are new to exercise, are neurodiverse or use a wheelchair.
You will never hear us talk about weight-loss, transformation plans, calorie restriction, or ‘clean’ eating.
Gyms often promote ways to try and achieve an impossible aesthetic, putting that goal above physical health and emotional well-being. There is no place for this at Strong + Bendy.
We try as much as we can to positively impact our local community, offering free classes, inclusive classes for adults with learning needs, free memberships, NHS discounts and more. You can read more about our community impact here.
We’ve collaborated with our friends at the Anti Diet Riot Club and Big Yoga Club to offer classes specifically aimed at participants in larger bodies who’ve typically been excluded from fitness spaces.
First and foremost we think fitness should be fun! Life is too short to be doing things you don’t enjoy!
