What is FRIDA, me & i?

FRIDA, me & i classes are a mix of bodyweight and strength exercises mixed with a bit of Calisthenics, functional fitness and mobility training and most importantly lots of fun.

Be ready to work upside down, on rings, bars and in all planes of the body.

FRIDA, me & i is all about body positivity, community, an all-female environment and having fun learning new skills together.

Why FRIDA, me & i?

Even though society and social media are changing and there are more and more female role models out there, women dealing with menopause symptoms and young girls in KS3/KS4 are statistically still either stopping physical activities altogether or trying to avoid them due to all sorts of reasons, e.g. change in body shape, hormones, growth spurts, anxiety, friendship issues, not wanting to train with boys or being coached by a male instructor; just to name a few.

Even nowadays Sport is still related to body shape.

It is changing but sadly, we are not there yet. Statements like: 'You don't look like runner,' or 'Have you lost weight, you look great!' are still common language.

This language is so ingrained in our society that it will take time and more female body positive role models to get to a point where comments are made about our strength, posture, confidence and our smile and we won't judge the strength or fitness of a women or young girl by their body shape.

It's time for CHANGE!

And I'm hopeful FRIDA, me & i can be part of the CHANGE!
