The Community Gym: Strength. Community. Progress.

I wasn’t the kid you'd expect to end up running a gym. I was the kid who loved sport, not because I was the best at it, but because of what came with it—the laughter, the friendships, the feeling of being part of something. I was a bit overweight, always trying to keep up, but what stuck with me wasn’t failure—it was the sense of belonging.

That’s what drives everything we do at The Community Gym.

I spent years studying Sports Coaching and Development, earning both an undergraduate and a master’s degree, because I knew I wanted to use sport and movement as tools for change. During my studies, I helped run projects that did more than just get people fit—they built confidence, reduced social issues, and gave people a fresh start. Those experiences taught me that exercise doesn’t have to be about punishment or aesthetics—it can be about purpose and connection.

And that’s what we’re building here.

A Different Kind of Gym

Gyms can be intimidating. I've been there. But they don’t have to be. With over 15 years of experience running group fitness sessions, I’ve seen first hand that fitness can be fun, inclusive, and genuinely supportive—when done right.

The Community Gym is designed for people who don’t feel like they belong in traditional gym environments. Whether you’re just starting out, getting back into it, or looking for something deeper than just sets and reps—we’re here for you.

When you walk through our doors, it won’t feel like stepping into a commercial gym. It’ll feel like walking into a room full of friends—ready for a good chat, a laugh, and a bit of hard work.
