Spring Vibes at Greenway Gym’s Community Day

We had the best day at our super Spring free health and wellbeing event last Saturday.  Thank you to everyone who supported the day and came along to take part in our free sessions for all levels of fitness, in different zones – Holistic, High-energy, and Low-impact. Along with free gym sessions, and deliciously healthy snacks from One Green Kitchen, a superb time was had by all.

It was great to see so many people from our community coming together to be active, have fun, and get to know each other.  People of all ages and abilities joined in, from Greenway Gym members and their friends and family, to first timers – we welcomed everyone to our friendly and supportive space.

Throughout the day the different fitness zones were led by our amazing instructors – a huge thanks to James, Tina, Cristina, Paula, Tom, and Rebecca for doing a fantastic job.  Their classes were relaxed, fun and inclusive, helping people to feel comfortable and confident, whatever their fitness level. Our friendly gym areas were comfortably busy with people trying out our fantastic hi-spec kit.

People told us they loved how welcoming they were made to feel and how much they appreciated having a free community event. For some, it was their first time at a fitness class, and for others it reminded them how good it feels to be active.  John said, “I travel from the other side of town to this gym because of the community vibe – there seems to be no judgement here. And knowing it’s run by a charity means a lot because it makes me feel I’m being helpful by being a member”.

We are very proud of the role Greenway Gym and Fitness plays in bringing the community together, and we love putting on these special free events so everyone can come and get to know us and what we do.  Both Kay, who runs our class programme, and I, pride ourselves on offering inclusive and safe spaces for all abilities, and on our gym-buddy volunteer set-up for anyone who would like additional support during membership.

Our next free fitness event will be part of the Southmead Festival on Saturday 25^th July, when our instructors will be back in action to offer tasters of their brilliant classes. The Festival theme this year is ‘Southmead on Sea’ and so we would love to see your beach themed fitness outfits!
