From Humble Beginnings
Survival Fitness began during the pandemic, when our founder, Dina, started offering calisthenics classes using park equipment. It was a challenging time, with social distancing in place and limited resources, but Dina wanted to give kids a way to stay active and have fun. It was in these early days here that the concept of calisthenics for children was born.
From Outdoors To In
As our vision grew, we took the next step by moving from outdoor parks to an indoor location. Survival Fitness opened in the heart of Leicester’s city centre, allowing us to offer more classes and equipment. This move marked a significant milestone in our journey, providing a safe and welcoming environment for children to learn.
More Space More Fun
In 2023, we moved to a larger space just around the corner from our old location, which we affectionately call our “baby den.”
While we’ll always have a soft spot for our first location, we’re thrilled with our new space. It gives us the room to grow, allowing us to welcome even more kids and adults to our classes. Our new space offers an additional conditioning room and a dedicated handstand area to compliment our open plan gym.
Survival Gym changed the game for me. The focus on calisthenics creates an environment where I genuinely look forward to my workouts. It's not just a gym; it's my escape to a stress-free, fit lifestyle!
By far the best strength training I've ever experienced!
Survival Gym is my fitness sanctuary, and what sets it apart are the incredible coaches. Their passion for calisthenics is contagious.
