It may be a bit of a cliché, but there’s no denying that January is the best month to begin a new fitness kick.
In fact, the latest research shows that 12% of all annual gym sign ups happen in the first month of the year alone. But as is the problem with most New Year’s resolutions, it’s not really about signing up, it’s about making the habit stick.
For most of us, who aren’t used to, or aren’t always comfortable with the atmosphere of a conventional or traditional gym, we need something that’s a little bit different.
Fortunately, difference to the rest is something that York’s Tribe Fitness do best. Launched by Kerry Harris and Jess Black in 2020, Tribe Fitness was founded on a premise of making fitness fun rather than hard work.
The gym is situated on Auster Road so is super easy to access (especially if like us, your office is in Clifton Moor), but also has a quite private location. This balance is great if you’re new to working out or just feel a bit self-conscious about re-starting your fitness journey.
“Gyms are a little bit scary for everybody so we wanted to create a small community where everyone can feel safe,” the pair tells us.
Making gym users feel at home begins with much smaller class sizes. So, they adapt the environment and intensity for any ability to match their participants’ (that’s me and you!) skill level.
They say, “We probably over explain to be honest! We just want to make sure everyone feels comfortable and safe working out.”
In terms of facilities, the gym has everything you need for cardio and weight-based training and caters for all needs, ages and gender.
Users can book in for a mixture of cardio-based and weight-based classes and a few that are mixed between. They’ve got bikes for cycle classes, a tempo class (which is like body pump), and much more.
They add, “There’s also a massive range to the people who use our gym, our oldest member is actually over 70.”
Whatever requirements you have, the team are happy to help. Whether you have any particular injury, they can look at particular exercises to help. What’s more, they also offer sports massage and personal training, and with both founders fully qualified to Sports Massage Level 4 , you can be sure they know what they’re doing!
