The Community Class
Free for anyone who can’t afford a membership.
What it is
A full class, in the same studio, with the same teachers, free for anyone who can’t afford to be here otherwise.
There’s a box by the door. If you can put something in it, that’s genuinely appreciated and it goes straight back into keeping the class running. If you can’t, put nothing in it and think no more about it — nobody is watching the box and nobody will know either way.
There’s no form. No ID. No means test, no proof of anything, no separate booking system and no separate entrance. You book it exactly like any other class on the timetable and you take it exactly like any other class on the timetable, because that is precisely what it is.
We’ll lend you a mat and a towel at no charge and without a conversation about it.
Why we do it
Studio fitness in this city has quietly become expensive enough to have turned into a class thing, and that is an absurd thing for a room full of people breathing together to be.
We can’t fix that. What we can do is run one class a week where money isn’t the question, and make it good enough that nobody in the room could tell you which people paid.
Practical
Spaces are capped and released in advance, so book early — they go. Bring water. Everything else, we’ve got.
The day and time are confirmed on the timetable each week.
If you can pay
Some people cover a place for someone else. If you’d like to, you can do it at reception or online — £XXX covers one person for one class.
