I’m a qualified personal trainer and have always been passionate about health and fitness. Before I set up Active Within, I used to work in leisure centre management where I noticed some people couldn’t afford gym memberships. I started thinking about how to provide free exercise in communities by working with funders and that’s how Active Within came about! 

Active Within aims to remove financial and social barriers to make exercise accessible for everyone. We deliver a varied timetable of physical activity for people of all ages and abilities, including a whole host of classes such as boot camp, box-fit, martial arts, Abs Bums Thighs and yoga. We offer physical activity for senior residents including seated exercise sessions and gentle walks around the reservoir. We operate at The Edge youth hub where we provide junior yoga sessions to help kids focus on their studies more and we provide family-fit classes for people with young children.
