Fitwell: a women-only fitness class in Wandsworth
Most women come to Fitwell for the first time without knowing a soul. They stand outside, hand on the door, half-deciding to go home. If that's you, you're not the only one, and you're exactly who this class is for.
Fitwell is a women-only movement class run by Her Way Forward, every Monday in Battersea. It's gentle, it's £5, and nobody is watching you. You move at whatever pace your body has that day. You can hang at the back. You can stop when you need to. The point was never to push through. It's to feel a bit better, in a room that was actually built with you in mind.
You don't need to be fit. You don't need kit, experience, or a gym body. Plenty of the women here are starting again after years away, or starting for the very first time.
Come on your own, or bring a friend, a lot of women find the door easier to open with someone beside them.
What a session looks like:
You'll get a proper hello at the door and a minute to settle before anything starts. Then:
- An easy warm-up
- Simple movement, with a gentler option for everything if you want it
- A pause partway through to breathe
- A proper stretch and cool-down at the end
- A cup of tea and a sit-down afterwards, if you'd like to stay
Who it's for:
Women who've felt out of place in fitness spaces before. Women easing back into movement. Women who'd rather move somewhere that's women-only and doesn't ask them to be anyone but themselves. We start with Black, Asian and minority ethnic women, and every woman is welcome.
What to bring:
Comfortable clothes you can move in, and a bottle of water. A mat if you have one, but you don't need to buy anything. The only thing
that really matters is that you turn up.
The details:
- Every Monday, 10:00 to 11:00am
- Kambala Community Hall, 126 Fawcett Cl, London SW11 2LQ
- First class is free, then its only £5 a class. If money's tight, come anyway. We keep free places for women who need them, and asking does not mean explaining yourself.
About Her Way Forward:
Her Way Forward is a women-only wellbeing Community Interest Company in Wandsworth, women-led and rooted here. We run movement, walks and gatherings for women who too often get left out of mainstream wellbeing. Fitwell is where a lot of women start.
You don't have to be ready. You just have to come. The first step is the hardest part, and once you're through that door, the rest is easier than you think.
