In July 2021 we began to look for an alternative place for the gym and met with Bricks in St. Anne's House. Bricks is a social enterprise with the mission to support local and creative communities.
Our gym is situated on the second floor at St Anne’s House - Bricks in Brislington, where we rent rooms which have been fully fitted out as a gym by us.
The postal address is:
St Anne’s House,
St Anne’s Road,
St Anne’s,
Brislington,

On What3Words, foam.fall.sheets will take you to the front door.
We have the main gym space located on the top floor on the right, and the Red room located on the ground floor to the right as you enter the building.
There are plenty of cycle racks available for use, and some limited car parking spaces with additional disabled parking bays, all of which are lit at night. We keep a bike pump in case of flat tyres.
The entrance is accessible via a ramp and accessible electric door. Once in the building, on the ground floor there is a lift that reaches all floors. If you are using the accessible door, please make sure there isn't anyone following you into the building.
We advise trying to get to class 5-10 minutes early but probably not much earlier than that – our gym is only open for classes so there won’t always be someone there to let you in.
Once you’re in, the way to the gym is signposted.
There is an accessible toilet and gender neutral toilets on the ground floor as well as seating both outside and throughout the building.
Enter using the accessible door on the left of the main doors (there is a ramp leading up to it).
Use the intercom system on the left of the door
You may need another 4-digit code to get through the second doors inside. Ask on the intercom if you need this
Once inside, the gym is signposted to the second floor
You can either use the stairs or the lift to get to the second floor
