Our ‘Man’s Club’  will take place on the first Friday of every month – starting Friday 6 December, where men (both members and non members), can come in and take part in a workout, be part of a community and hopefully talk to others about their feelings, so they don’t suffer in silence.

Being a man of more words isn’t about dialling up the banter. It’s about carving out space for meaningful chats about the bigger stuff in life. From talking about the kids, the bills, a new job or a setback – the right conversation can make all the difference to a mate who might be struggling.

This club is open to both members and non members (and is free to join).  For more information and to book send us an email
