We acknowledge that becoming more physically active can be daunting and there are barriers to doing so.

We aim to reduce these barriers, get people to enjoy being more active and promote a more positive, healthier lifestyle.

Our affordable schedule is designed to make fitness accessible to all.

More than just a workout, our group exercise classes provide motivation, encourage social connections and enhance overall wellbeing.

With a variety of classes to choose from, you can enjoy your fitness journey while receiving guidance and support from our qualified instructors.

The programme features weekly sessions including pilates, circuits, BoxFIT, ClubFIT and strength and stretch.

Lauren Cholmondeley, BFCCT’s community engagement manager, said: “We believe that physical activity is crucial for maintaining a healthy lifestyle and we want to make it accessible to everyone in our community.

“This programme not only promotes individual health but also strengthens community bonds.”

People can book a single session from £3 or, to become a member and attend unlimited classes for just £20 a month, visit gymcatch.com/app/provider/8064/events
