Darkside Rising CIC

Description

Darkside Rising (DR) are opening up health and fitness to women who have traditionally been left out.

Many women are excluded from fitness because most entry level fitness training doesn’t equip instructors to work safely with women going through major life transitions or living with long-term health conditions. DR offer specialist physical activity programmes for women experiencing menopause, neurological issues, postnatal recovery and other health needs. They also deliver industry- recognised training for fitness professionals, but high demand and limited capacity keep them from offering more.

Our backing will help DR launch courses that help fitness instructors support women with a wider range of health needs. This will build a sustainable operating model, and enable more women around the UK to access physical activity in ways that genuinely meet their needs.
