We want to invite all of the BEND community to our
BACK TO S-COOL SPORTS DAY.
tl;dr:
On this day we’ll be bringing trainers, community leaders and members together for a queer sports day in Victoria Park. This is a less traditional sports day, more an opportunity to get stuck into some taster sessions on offer from our clubs, have some snacks and hear about some exciting announcements from BEND. Most importantly this is an opportunity to reinstate the importance of queer and trans led fitness spaces at a time of political uncertainty for our community.
Meet us on August 31st at Thingy Cafe, 12.00 for bag drop.
What is it?
A day for BEND members, trainers and community leaders to come together, try a variety of movement sessions, make some new mates, and be the first to know about upcoming changes at BEND.
We will meet at Thingy Cafe at 12.00 for bag drop, then, walk to the park together for our workout sessions.
We have 2 x half an hour blocks filled with 2-3 x classes each so that you can choose which class you would like to join, including:
- Boxing with Hot Girl Boxing
- Self-defence with TranxPire
- Strength with Pecs Education
- Running with Queer Running Club
- Ballet with Queer Yoga Club
You can join for one or both blocks, basically a sporty choose your own adventure bbz!
We will finish up with a collective cool down. After which we will head back to Thingy Cafe where we’ll have coffee and treats waiting. This is a chance to be queer and joyful together!
BEND is a London-based booking platform for queer movement classes. Like a big umbrella but for sweat not rain, it’s a place for you to book into some of your favourite queer-led activities and find new friends you didn’t know you were looking for. From yoga and running to strength training and dance.

If £10 is out of your budget, you can get a ticket 30% off, just drop us a message at hello@bend-movement.com and we will sort it for you.
‎ ‎
What do I bring?
Comfy clothes, a water bottle and possibly sun cream! You can leave everything else at Thingy Cafe. There’s a secure place for us to leave our things. But just in case, don’t bring anything valuable as we can’t make ourselves responsible for it.
‎ ‎
Sounds great but I don’t really do sports. Is it for me?
Absolutely!!! All of us queers deserve to have fun moving our bodies in the park together. This is not a competitive event, it’s a community building one. Expect lots of laughter and support.
