Equality, Diversity, Inclusion, Wellbeing & Sustainability

Inclusion and Belonging

Being a diverse and inclusive business matters. It’s not just because it’s the right thing to do or even because it makes commercial sense. It means so much more than that. We believe diversity and inclusion needs to be at the  heart of everything we represent - our purpose, our values and our behaviours.

At The Gym Group we celebrate our people! Their individuality, their perspectives, their strengths, their passions... all of this is what makes them unique and what makes The Gym Group such a great place to be.

We are raising awareness, creating safe spaces, opening up discussions and influencing positive change with the support of our amazing employee led inclusion groups. They work tirelessly with enthusiasm, perspective, drive and passion to identify and tackle barriers to ensure The Gym Group is accessible for all.

Our employee inclusion groups cover:

• Disability

• Gender

• Age

• Cultural and Diversity

• LGBTQI+

Inclusive Traineeship

In partnership with the Down’s Syndrome Association and WorkFIT we launched our first ever Inclusive Traineeship which saw us bring 5 brilliant individuals into our teams.

We all learnt so much and they got a really great understanding of what it is like to work in the fitness industry through on-the-job experience and training.

We’re with you

We want to ensure that The Gym Group is a friendly and supportive place, where you can be you. Our policies demonstrate our commitment to just that!

• Dignity at The Gym

• Transgender Inclusion & Equality Policy

• Menopause Policy

Sustainability

At The Gym Group, our purpose is to break down barriers to fitness for all and our ambition is to deliver this in an entirely sustainable way. We know that with 230 gyms across the UK, and at such a huge moment for tackling climate change, we owe it to the communities we serve to put  at the top of our list.

Wellbeing

At The Gym Group we know the importance of health and wellbeing. After all it’s what we do! We also know that wellbeing goes beyond physical health. That’s why we are committed to providing a holistic approach to wellbeing that accounts for the diverse factors that impact our teams happiness and health.

Our wellbeing principles underpin our approach to promoting and encouraging positive wellbeing at The Gym Group:

• Leadership - committed leaders who support our teams and champion wellbeing

• Prevention - ensuring wellbeing support is an intrinsic part of “how we do things here”

• Intervention - providing our people with a range of wellbeing resources, support and assistance

• Development and Support - providing our managers, teams and mental health ambassadors with the training they need to support wellbeing at work
