CSN's Gym Buddy scheme is currently being piloted in TONBRIDGE, KENT with "GYM NAME" - We would still love to hear from you
Nobody should have to start alone.
Helping people access gyms, build confidence and find a community through exercise.
STRONGER TOGETHER • FIND YOUR COMMUNITY • BUILD CONFIDENCE
Confidence Through Connection
Sometimes the hardest part of going to the gym is simply walking through the door. Community Strength Network exists to make that first step a little easier.

How Gym Buddy Works
The path from being supported to becoming independent through connection and confidence.

FROM SUPPORTED TO INDEPENDENT
Your gym can help make it happen
Gym Buddy is designed to grow from the community. If you are interested in volunteering, we’ll help you start a conversation with the gym you already use.
​
Gyms don’t recruit Buddies or provide volunteers on CSN’s behalf. Their role is to help create an environment in which their members can support others.
