Studios and parks in Bristol where you can attend a fitness class in person

Since the beginning of lockdown, many of us have embraced the possibilities of keeping fit online.

Many providers have moved their classes to Zoom and participants have turned their spare rooms into small studios.

However, after more than three months of working out at home, many of us are missing the social interaction of attending a class as well as being in the lovely spaces around Bristol.

As lockdown restrictions ease, and gyms and swimming pools are allowed to reopen, we have put together a list of some studios across the city that have reopened.

We have also included fitness classes that are running in parks.

You can read more about the reopening of gyms across the city here.

Have we missed any? If you would like to be included in the list, please contact Estel on estel.farellroig@reachplc.com

Park-Fit for Mums

Running from Oldbury Court Estate, in Fishponds, the bootcamp-style fitness class runs on Tuesday mornings from 9.15am to 10am.
