FREE and subsidised places to kick-start your journey to getting active!
If you’ve been here a while, you will know that we’re all about making exercise activities as accessible as possible by smashing as many barriers as we can…! We’ve offered free places to members of our MissFits community in the past, particularly during the pandemic - and some of you have also contributed by paying it forward (THANK YOU!).
So we’re SUPER excited to announce that we’ve been successful in accessing a small pot of funding (with thanks to Sport England, EMD UK and the Tackling Inequalities Fund) to allow even more people to access our This Girl Can Classes for free or at a reduced rate!

Free and subsidised places will be available at This Girl Can Classes in Colchester, Essex during March, April and May 2022. Places will be offered on a first come, first served basis (prioritising those who meet one or more of the criteria of the fund).
We hope that an opportunity to try the classes without the additional barrier of cost will encourage more women* to feel able to join in with some fun, friendly, non-competitive fitness in a safe and welcoming environment.
You can find out a bit more about the classes here. Each class/week is different over a 6 week period. Each session will include two of the following exercise styles:
DANCE: which includes several different dance styles to help you find your groove!
BOXFIT: where we get to punch and kick it out!
MOVE: which is our own version of a ‘circuit’ where we repeat a move for 40 seconds and then take a rest before moving on to the next move!
TONE: where we focus on gently building muscle strength and mobility.
YOGA INSPIRED STRETCH: where we learn how to bend and stretch our bodies together.
So over the course of 6 weeks you’ll get an opportunity to try everything two or three times and begin to decide what movement works best for you. We hope you have as much fun as we do working it out!
If you are interested, simply complete this short form and then you will be sent a unique code so you can book your preferred sessions via our website. Participants will be able to access up to 6 classes for free and once completed they will be able to access up to 6 more classes at a reduced rate!

If you know anyone who might benefit from this opportunity, please share this post, or tag them on our Facebook or Instagram - we’d love to get the message to as many people as possible!
*Just a little note to say that MissFits Workout classes are open to all genders, particularly those under represented in fitness spaces. However, This Girl Can Classes are specifically for women only.
