There is something special about coming together with a common goal in mind and on December 3rd 2022 that is what happened did. Attendees came together to launch Rebuild Health and engage in a fitness session coupled with a psychological workshop. Rebuild Health prides itself on education, community and transparency and all of this was present that the event.

After a warm welcome attendees took their spaces for a high energy workout. Our instructor Shaida (Afrobix) brought a high energy, fun workout that was suitable for every ability. As afrobeats played throughout the venue attendees gave there all to the workout and the feedback reflect the smiles on attendees faces.

“Brilliant workout for any ability, challenging.”

“Was so fun I loved it and really enjoyed myself”

Rebuild Health aims to not only bring the community together to be physical activity but to discuss ways we can overcome our barriers. Following the workout attendees sat to listen to the values, mission and story behind Rebuild Health and engage in a short session.

Each attendee was taken through a snippet of what participants would experience on the 12 week project. They were asked to share their current barriers to being physically active and read these out to the group. The similarities and differences that arose allowed for understanding and discussion to happen.

Rebuild health prides itself on community which is why it was a pleasure to hear what an attendee had to say about coming to the event.

"I felt welcomed and comfortable. My anxiety washed away as soon I was greeted at the door, when I noticed everyone there was friendly and welcoming."

Bring people together is always magical but to do so with tackling an issue that is present in the black community is even better.

Being sponsored and working with companies like Bepps snacks and swing fitness is important to support our mission of improving the physical activity of the UK black community. Our sponsors allowed for our attendees to not only have nutritional snacks that could aid their workout but accessories they could take to their workouts too.

A huge thank you to our sponsors on the day:

and to our vendors Plush pancakes and bakes by beans.
