My name is Kiki and I am the founder of Mindfit, a small exercise company in Brockley. Currently joined by trainers Flick and Paula, we champion exercise as a transformative tool for mental health and happiness. Our studio will be an inclusive, fun and friendly environment, giving everyone the chance to experience the benefits of exercise. We want to invite you to support our vision by pledging for your sessions now, ready to be used when the gym opens!

Having started out in May 2020 with just myself and a few kettlebells in my rucksack, we have since seen huge growth and are thrilled to announce that we are planning to open a studio in the old Barclays bank in Crofton Park. The studio will offer strength & conditioning, boxing, yoga and pilates classes as well as personal training sessions. All sessions will be designed and delivered with Mindfit's core mission of improving mental health, at the heart. 

We also aim to become a community hub for mental health by running talking groups, working with charities to offer free sessions to older adults, those with ongoing mental health challenges, disability groups and anyone that may have previously faced too many barriers to participate in exercise. We also plan to work with young people to begin teaching them about healthy relationships with food and exercise and specifically empowering young women through boxing. This project is hugely important to me as I know first hand how unbelievably powerful exercise can be to boost one's mental health and it is now my mission to help share this.

The studio is due to open in February 2023 and we need your support in raising funds for the equipment, building and fitting out of the new studio. By pledging you will be purchasing classes and PT sessions in advance, ready to be redeemed once the studio opens as well as limited edition Mindfit merch! 

Thank you so much for reading this far and supporting us! We hope that despite the current economic difficulties, and only if you are able to pledge without adding pressure to yourself, you see this project as a worthy investment that will bring lots of smiling sweaty faces and healthy minds to Brockley.

Ps. Pledges and their rewards could also make great Christmas presents :)
