a tiny story about tinygyms

This is me​

I'm Mike. Proud owner of the world's tiniest backgammon set, and perennial contender for Dundee's Palest Arms.

​

I love being active. Running, lifting weights, playing hockey; pretty much anything I can feasibly excuse wearing a vest for.

​

I've always enjoyed gyms, but a lot of my friends hate them and I wondered why.

Gymtimidation

​

It turns out a lot of people are scared of big busy gyms, despite wanting to get fitter.

​

53% of women are put off due to worries about their appearance, and a third of all UK adults fear feeling out of place at a gym.

​

Whatever the reason, there are millions of people who feel gyms aren't meant for them.

A gym just for you

​

That's why we need a new kind of gym just for you. Small pods with a treadmill, bike and weights; accessible 24/7 for private workouts.

​

A space where you can feel safe to come as you are, with no worries about anyone else.

​

I want tinygyms to remove an unnecessary barrier to living a healthier lifestyle.
