There is absolutely no need to be worried about your current fitness level or ability, we have suitable sessions for almost everyone. You'll be fine. We all have to start somewhere & we have a broad range of members from complete beginner to advanced. Wherever you're currently at, just book in for a taster & we'll get you going.

At CRC, we motivate and encourage each other to do all the things we wouldn't be able to do alone. Our team vibe & supportive environment is what we pride ourselves on, members are incredible & we foster this environment as much as possible.

As mentioned, Social Heroes Adventure Club Bristol is the social arm to the Social Fitness Bristol community, continually making an effort to provide a way for new joiners & seasoned members alike to make new friends & connections.

Yoga

​

Yoga is available to all CRC members via Clifton Yoga Club, a fun, community centred Yoga club that focuses on inclusivity & social engagement. CYC uses an inclusive, all-abilities style of Vinyasa yoga to help individuals regain the flexibility, mobility, strength & balance that we were born with. CYC offers a platform to meet new people, make friends, have fun & enjoy a healthy, active lifestyle. They have put social togetherness & individual development at the heart of our club... plus so much more!

 

​

Nutrition

 

The above training methods also happen to be some of the very best ways to loose body fat, which leads us to another important part of the CRC community....nutrition. At CRC you'll have a coach at your disposal every single session, able to answer any questions with professional and useful nutritional advice. Having said this, we are all cake, takeaway and beer/wine lovers too, a bit of what you love keeps the soul smiling, we say. So, there are plenty of our favourite guilty pleasures to share too!

​

Personal Training, Nutrition & Massage Therapy

 

CRC has both a network of talented Personal Trainers and an in-house Massage Therapist that are professional, knowledgeable, committed and focused on helping individuals to achieve their aims and goals. Should you require any home based, studio based or outdoor based personal training, relaxation/sports massage therapy or 1 to 1 nutritional consultations, we're here to help. Simply contact us and we'll arrange your first session to fit around your schedule. Good news too, CRC members receive discounts on Personal Training, Massage Therapy & Nutritional Consultations.

 

​

Events

 

Some people join CRC for general fitness, social connection, running improvements and/or weight loss. Others like to run at local events and try to improve upon Personal Best times. Members of CRC often enter 5K/10K/Half Marathon/Marathon events and we're always encouraging members to join & share these adventures throughout the year. We also have a number of selected CRC team events throughout each year that we'll enter en mass, together, as a team. #WinningTogether
