Misfit

New class dropping at Misfit. Tuesday 7pm. Bring a bolster, bring a towel, bring your dignity because you will be leaving it here.

Booking link in bio. (It is not. Do not message Becca about this.) 😂😂😂

We have had quite a few really good questions in our inbox lately, so we thought we’d save them up and give them more time than our story replies allow.

First up; our favourite memories of the last 4 years at Misfit!

Misfit turns 4 this weekend with a birthday party from 9am at the gym. Come and play games and eat cake and celebrate with old and new Misfits.

🎂🎉🍾🥳🎈

“I felt like an imposter.”

That’s how Bianca described her last gym — too many men, muscley people everywhere, equipment she didn’t know how to use, and a vibe that made her feel weak and completely out of place. So she left. Same story as thousands of people.

When she started looking for something different, one of the first things she did was read our Google reviews. She noticed most of them were from women — and that mattered to her. It was the first sign this might actually be a place built for someone like her.

So she messaged us. Told us she was hoping to get stronger and prevent the niggles and injuries that had crept in over the years. What she got back wasn’t a sales pitch or a pushy discovery call — just an honest conversation and a story she could relate to.

That was enough. She booked in. And the same person who used to dread walking into a gym walked through our door for her first session.

Fast forward to now — she trains every other day. She’s consistent. She’s stronger than she’s been in years. She’s made friends. She feels at home in a room she used to be scared of.
And here’s the bit that made us smile — she loved it so much she brought her partner in too. He signed up on his first day.

Same person. Different gym.

Proud of you Bianca!

An app can give you a workout. YouTube can give you a plan. AI can generate a personalised programme in about four seconds.

And loads of people are giving it a go. It’s cheap, it’s convenient, and — sometimes — the workouts are genuinely decent.

But here’s what none of it can give you.

The chat in the corner before the session starts. The nod across the room when you walk in. The coach who notices you’re a bit off and asks what’s going on. The teammates who cheer for you halfway through a set when your legs are gone and you didn’t think you had it in you.

The moment someone hits a PB and the whole class lifts. The quiet check-in when you’ve had a rough week. The laugh mid-warm-up. The high-five walking out.

That’s not workout content. That’s not a plan. That’s training with people.

And that’s what we’ve built at Misfit — the bit no app, no algorithm, and no AI will ever replicate.

A room full of real humans, coached properly, cheering for each other.
Welcome home. 🩷

Come and join a bunch of Misfits!

Starting at a new gym can be intimidating: the kit, the people, what to do and where to go… not at Misfit!

At Misfit, everyone gets a 1-1 Getting Started session, a Blueprint and a warm welcome to the gym. We meet you where you are, show you the ropes, and from the minute you walk in the door we treat you like you’re one of the gang.

We are taking on our September starts for our 6 Week Kickstarters now. Drop us a DM to get started with us, and become a Misfit.

We tried to explain…

Being in a Misfit session is:

• A supportive environment with teammates who will celebrate your wins with you.

• Coaches who know their stuff pass on their expertise to you.

• Programming that meets you where you are.

• A room full of laughter and silliness while working hard.

“I always looked at people who go to the gym and thought I wish I could be that person. A few months ago I realised; I am that person now!”

Mini joined us almost 4 years ago, when Misfit first opened its doors in 2022. You might have met her when we first shared her story a year into training with us. Here she is 3 years on from that, still working hard and showing up every week.

“Being here, being strong, being happy, being healthy - it’s been everything!”

Mini has faced every challenge head on and completed some amazing things while at Misfit so far; from raising money for ELOP in our 24 hour workout marathon, to hiking in Chamonix with the Misfit Adventure Club and competing in her first Misfit Games this summer. We can’t wait to see what Mini achieves next!

Be different, be a Misfit.
