Two classes every class day

Each class day there are two separate classes, with a brew and a chat in between. Come to whichever one suits you, or stay for both. The same pattern runs every week, and the exercises change each time to keep things interesting.

What people say

I've only been going a few weeks and have already noticed I have a lot more movement in my joints and muscles.

I love these classes, not just for the fitness but also for the social side. I meet so many new people.

The classes are different each week which keeps them fun and exciting.

What Ryan and Emma do is amazing. The classes are fantastic and I really look forward to each one.

Ryan's commitment and delivery in the classes are first class.

How it started

We began with free weekly classes in a cold gym in winter 2019. Early in 2020 we moved to Clitheroe Rugby Club, where the warmth and the social side helped the classes grow quickly.

Through Covid

When Covid hit, we moved everything online. People joined from all over the UK, and some from as far away as South Africa and New Zealand.

Where we are now

In 2024 we added a second venue at the Trinity Community Hub. We kept the classes free for over three years, and today we only charge enough to cover running costs.

We're not a gym or a big leisure company. We just want to help people feel better, move more comfortably and enjoy life. Your first class is free, and we'd love to see you.

Get in touch

You don't need to book. Just turn up on the day. If you'd like a chat first, give us a ring.
