Beyond Walls: One Year Strong

On 13th September 2024, we opened our doors for the very first time. One year later, it's time to reflect on what we've built, celebrate the progress our members have made, and look ahead to year two.

Building More Than a Gym

From day one, our mission has been clear: to measurably improve the health and wellbeing of our community. We didn't want to be just another gym — we wanted to create a place where fitness is accessible, scalable and fun.

Over the past twelve months, we've seen new faces walk in feeling nervous or out of practice — and leave stronger, fitter and more confident. We've witnessed friendships form, barriers broken down, and incredible milestones achieved both inside and outside the gym.

The Numbers Don't Lie

Thanks to our InBody scanner, we can track more than workouts — we can measure the progress our community is making. Over the past year, 112 members completed at least two scans, and the results are striking:

• 112 kg total weight lost
• 61.7 kg total muscle gained
• 204.8 kg total body fat lost
• +308 total InBody score points gained

That's over 200 kg of body fat gone and more than 60 kg of muscle built — proof that consistency and community deliver results.

Average Results Per Person

• Weight: ↓ 1 kg
• Muscle: ↑ 0.6 kg
• Body Fat: ↓ 1.8 kg
• Body Fat %: ↓ 1.9%
• InBody Score: ↑ +2.8

These numbers tell the story we always hoped to tell: our members are getting stronger, healthier and leaner — for life.

Highlights From Year One

It's been an unforgettable first year. Some of the moments that stand out include:

• **Our First Class (15th September 2024):** the beginning of something bigger than we could have imagined.
• **The Winter Throwdown:** our first in-house competition — loud, sweaty and full of community spirit.
• **Fresh Start 60:** taking fitness outdoors and helping people restart their journey.
• **Teens Take-Over:** empowering the next generation to train, learn and grow.
• **Charity Support:** raising money for Alexander Devine Children's Hospice Service, using fitness as a force for good.
• And the everyday wins: first pull-ups, first rope climbs, 100 check-ins, and countless smiles mid-WOD.

Looking Ahead

We have so much to be excited about in the year ahead. Summer has been a fantastic season for Beyond Walls, but there's plenty more to come this autumn and beyond. From competitions and community events in the run-up to Christmas, to the return of the much-loved 12 Days of Fitmas, there's no shortage of things to look forward to.

Our goal remains the same: to measurably improve the health and wellbeing of our community. We'll achieve this not just by growing in membership, but by expanding the services we offer and the support we provide — ensuring that every member, no matter their starting point, has the tools they need to succeed.

Thank You

Beyond Walls isn't just walls, weights or workouts. It's the people. Every single member who has trained, cheered someone else on, recommended us to a friend, or simply turned up on the days they didn't feel like it — you are Beyond Walls.

Here's to year one. Here's to the progress we've already made. And here's to everything still to come.
