Our Mission
To make movement and wellbeing accessible 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 live a healthier, happier life.
Our Approach
We use fitness as the starting point to build stronger people and stronger communities.
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 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 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 firsthand how difficult it can be to find a place where you truly feel like you belong.
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 communities focused 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 dedicated to transforming minds, bodies and communities.

UPCOMING EVENTS
Step x Pilates is a fun, social fitness experience that brings people together through movement, community and good vibes.
Combining Step Aerobics, LBT (Legs, Bums & Tums) and Mat Pilates, this beginner-friendly event is designed to help you get active, meet new people and enjoy fitness in a supportive, welcoming environment.
Expect team games, icebreakers, refreshments and plenty of opportunities to connect with others.
No experience is needed, and alternative movement options will be provided throughout the session so everyone can participate at their own pace.
