The In It Together Somerset women’s project offers exercise and sports activities for women. The project aims to increase activity levels in women of any age (16+), background or area in Somerset through community-based exercise and sports activities such as Pilates, fit steps, badminton, tennis, netball, running, cycling and more!
All the sessions are led by coaches and instructors who have the same goal; to help break down those barriers that women face, empower them to move in their own way, remove that self-doubt, and most importantly, to enjoy it! The programmes motto is all about fun, friends and feeling good!
We want to help women to be more active in the everchanging landscape right now, but also break down the physical and mental barriers women in Somerset are currently facing. The ‘In It Together’ project is so important for this reason, with not only new barriers being faced, but pre-existing barriers (pre-pandemic) that are faced daily by women. The reality of these challenges is that this isn’t unique to a few women, these issues are experienced by your mother, your daughter, your neighbours, your colleagues. The sport, activity and exercise course/classes we are offering is hoped to remove the pressure of physical activity perceived by women that have been placed upon them for far too long.
