Steel Warriors

Did you see Steel Warriors on BBC One Show tonight? Thank you Harry Aikines-Aryeetey for visiting our new gym on the Carpenters Estate in Stratford... and trying calisthenics too!

What an incredible week of learning and development that most definitely went both ways 🙌

Congratulations to out first ever 'Get Started with Health and Fitness' graduates. Such a fantastic group of young people and a brilliant Final Celebration in the sunshine at Langdon Park on Friday. The group showcased what they'd learnt on the bars during the week as well as sharing their future plans. Steel Warriors will continue to support them to achieve their next steps around study and employment - and carry on their calisthenics journey of course 💪🏽 Thank you to Gymshark for the gifts and The King's Trust for your support - we even got Israel Olayiwola on the bars!

Thank you to the group of students at St Charles Catholic Sixth Form College who have chosen Steel Warriors as their First Give charity. They will compete against three other groups to win a ✨ £1000 donation ✨ Our COO Zoe Byrne visited this morning to talk more about our work and how the students can support our mission. They are planning on asking our amazing coaches to run a challenge session for their staff... start training team 💪🏽 Demetri Alvanis will love this! There was also a lot of excitement about the potential for a SW gym in Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, definitely one to think about as we expand across London.
