How Bristol Gym Girls works
BGG is a free, welcoming community for women in Bristol who want to move, connect, and find their people.
Our ambassadors run relaxed, free get-togethers throughout the year - think morning swims, hikes, walks, and coffee catch-ups.
Follow us on Instagram and join our WhatsApp community to hear about upcoming events.
Bristol Gym Girls also offers:
Seasonal Strength Club - our online group coaching program for women who want to build real strength, nail their technique, and finally feel confident in the gym.
Personal Training - work with Natalia 1:1 at Sweatbox Gym in Bristol, or online from anywhere.
What we've been up to
From coffee catch-ups to weekend adventures - see what the BGG community has been loving recently
Stomp & Coffee Hosted by Edgie Eats
Our regular monthly meet-up - fresh air, girly conversations, and finishing with cake and coffee with the BGG crew.
Hotpod Yoga
Gym Girl Takeover
20 women sweating it out together in the heat - because everything's easier (and more fun) when you're with your girls.
Mendips Adventure & Pub Lunch
Plans went sideways with a weather warning, but BGG women always have a backup plan - and we still ended up with a delicious pub lunch.

What our community says
"This is one of the best things I ever decided to do! I met some amazing ladies, made progress in the gym, found out things about myself and had the funnest of times. 10/10 would recommend!!!"
Tatiana
"At a time when my anxiety was overwhelming, I didn’t think I could even show up to a meet-up. But I went, and looking back, it was one of the best decisions I ever made. This group has helped me build confidence, and surround myself with supportive women."
Andreea
"I had such a great time walking and chatting! All the different conversations and sharing our experiences really made me feel connected. It was lovely!"

hi I'm Natalia
the founder of Bristol Gym Girls. A few years ago, I was coming out of a dark place, feeling isolated and craving connection with like-minded women. As a ballet teacher and PT, I knew movement was powerful for mental health, but something was missing.
I love the outdoors, but I wanted to enjoy it with others, so I asked if anyone wanted to join me. It started with just 5 of us, and now it's a growing community of women wanting real friendships built around wholesome activities rather than just drinking culture.
That's why I created BGG. A space where women find their people through adventure, movement, and meaningful connection - sometimes that's conquering a mountain, sometimes it's cosy chats and hot chocolate.
