Smiles at Solace Gym, Cheltenham!

Our group exercise class numbers have been growing by the day at Solace Gym, Cheltenham and to say it's making us unbelievably happy is the understatement of the century!

Seven members of Solace Gym, Leckhampton, Cheltenham posing in front of the Solace Gym wall mural after a group exercise class, some standing, some kneeling. All are happy.

When we set Solace up, our mission was to build a community, to make exercise fun and create a safe space where everyone feels they can come to work out, regardless of what kit they have or how fit they are. Somewhere where like minded individuals join together to support and encourage each other through the tough bits of classes and that's exactly what is happening.

Six members of Solace Gym, Leckhampton, Cheltenham are standing against the wall smiling after taking part in a group exercise class. All are wearing a variety of exercise clothing.

Seeing the tentative friendships forming, the genuine pleasure people have when they see each other, the way our regulars have gone from greeting each other shyly at the start of classes to asking about holidays and discussing their lives is so lovely.

We definitely have more popular classes, Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 6.15am are always busy. 6.30pm on Wednesday is consistently very well attended. Our 9.10am classes are picking up every day and our new 30 minute 'body blaster, low sweat' classes on a Tuesday and Thursday at 12.15pm are proving popular already. Lizzy is seeing a steady climb in her pilates class on Monday at 9am, with members saying they are the perfect way to stretch off after our strength training classes.
