Our Mission

To make movement and wellbeing accessible and affordable to everyone in our community, regardless of age, ability, or background.

Our Goal

To create a community where every person has the opportunity,

confidence, and support to access and afford fitness whilst tackling lonliness and isolation through community events.

Our Approach

We make fitness affordable, accessible and adaptable. Our sessions are designed for all fitness levels, with alternative movements available to suit different needs and abilities. We also create welcoming spaces where people can connect, build confidence and feel part of a community, because fitness should support both your physical and mental wellbeing.

Through weekly classes, monthly Step X Vibes events and community initiatives, we create opportunities for people to stay active, meet new people and improve their overall wellbeing in a fun, affordable and supportive environment.

Our programmes include everything from community fitness sessions and family activities to men’s and women's support groups, youth initiatives, support for single parents, disability inclusive sessions, and so much more.

The success of our Step x Vibes events allows us to reinvest in these community programmes in order to help us reach even more people, make our classes affordable and continue our mandate of transforming minds, bodies and communities

Our Story

Community is at the heart of everything we do.

FitnessTakeOver CIC was created because we know first-hand how difficult it can be to find affordable, accessible fitness that can be adapted to your individual needs. We also understand how lonely gym environments and adulthood can sometimes feel

Deirdre turned to fitness after becoming bed-bound due to serious health challenges. Kevin had spent years trying to build a community-focused fitness movement but recognised the barriers many people face in accessing inclusive spaces. When we realised we shared the same vision and values, we founded FitnessTakeover CIC with a simple mission: to transform everyday spaces into affordable and accessible community environments where people can connect and grow

Today, FitnessTakeOver exists to break down barriers, create spaces where people feel seen, heard and connected, and use fitness as a catalyst for positive change. We are more than just a fitness club; we are a community committed to transforming minds, bodies and communities.
