Bristol Co-operative Gym

The objects of the Co-operative are specifically restricted to carry on the business as a co-operative to create a supportive open exercise space where we can feel comfortable in our own clothes, with our own music, to progress in our way and to:

- build a culture of non-judgement and celebration of each other's progress
- build a supportive and inclusive culture, free from assumptions about identity and appearance
- empower people to create healthy training habits
- engage people who are excluded from most training facilities
- provide high quality coaching and training facilities
- have fair pricing models, remaining as affordable as possible
- be a financially sustainable organisation, free from reliance on external funding
- work with local community groups to improve our offer and accessibility for all members of our local communities. Further, we wish to reach out to communities most likely to feel excluded from mainstream commercial gyms
- empower people to improve their own physical and mental well-being.
