The Mezz - A women's workout space

Welcome to The Mezz – All our workout spaces in ActiveHud are designed to be inclusive and female friendly, but if you are looking for a space that is private and for women, then this is your ideal workout space. This area is designed to provide a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment for women.

The Mezz is for women and trans women. At Active Huddersfield, we aim to create activity spaces and services that are respectful, inclusive, and accessible for everyone.

We welcome all members of our community regardless of age, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, race, religion, or any other protected characteristic. Physical activity should be a positive experience for everyone, and we are committed to making that a reality.

Here is what you can expect:

Inclusive spaces designed to meet diverse needs and preferences.
Classes and programmes tailored for diverse groups, so everyone feels comfortable and supported.
Accessibility for all, with facilities that accommodate a wide range of requirements.

Your voice matters. We actively encourage feedback on how we can develop and deliver services that meet your needs. If you have ideas or concerns, please talk to us — together, we can make ActiveHud a welcoming space for all. Please e-mail activehud@hud.ac.uk with any questions or feedback.

This Girl Can - Picture This:

A community of women getting active together in a safe space, giving judgement the finger and enjoying exercise in all its sweaty, jiggly glory.

Group exercise classes that are actually designed with beginners in mind. Classes where getting it wrong is totally alright. A collective where everyone is welcome and where we help women to relieve stress, build confidence, connect with others and feel like they belong.

It’s not about reshaping bodies to fit with some unrealistic ideal. It’s about reshaping how women experience group exercise and empowering them to show up unapologetically as themselves, relatable bodies, sweat patches and all.

Now, picture This Girl Can Classes. Together, we’re bringing this vision to glorious, sweaty, active life.

We’re breaking down barriers and advocating for exercise to be enjoyed not endured. Smashing obstacles that get in the way of women getting into group exercise.

Offering women a (very) warm welcome to the world of group exercise and being pivotal in a long and happy life of moving however they damn well like.

No one gets to choose how you exercise other than you. Your body, your call. And whatever that looks like, we think it's worth celebrating. This Girl Can, funded by The National Lottery, believes that there's no "right" way to get active. Visit thisgirlcan.co.uk to find out more about the campaign.
