Trans-Fit.
Health, Wellbeing & Fitness.
For body AND mind.
Hello and welcome to Trans-Fit - part of Trans-Fitness C.I.C.
We aim to cover as many Trans/Non-Binary
Sports/Social/Support networks as we can. Some will be Trans/NB exclusive, and some will be part of the LGBT+ network. We also aim to list other areas that Trans people may need or wish to utilise, such as Personal Trainers, Massage Therapists, Hairdressers, Beauty Therapists, Barbers, and so on.
NOT LISTED? A simple listing is FREE of charge. If you would like a more detailed piece or a feature article, then please get in touch for prices.
The C.I.C. itself is looking to help Trans/NB people to achieve their goals, whether through fitness/health or other areas. Please get in touch to find out how we can help:
