What We Do

Run by the Community for the Community

We are a charitable organisation on a mission to improve the health and wellbeing of the community by providing wellness hubs in the centre of towns that can easily be accessed by the community.

High Street Fitness and Wellbeing took over the running of 2 George Street, Pontypool in November 2020. Trying to set up this project during a global pandemic is the single hardest thing any of the team has ever done. However, with perseverance, hard work and belief in what we want to deliver we are nearly there.

This is not a just a “gym”. We want to work with like minded people and support local business. The facility will host other businesses, provide training and qualifications, opportunities to volunteer, work and access mental health support.

We want this, our first facility, to be yours. So we will take pride in asking the local community what they want to see available as we move forward. Every facility afterwards will be the same. So rather than being told what equipment or classes you want, we will ask you. Therefore each community should have a facility that is uniquely tailored to their needs.
