About Us
The New Beginning Story

New Beginnings was created in 2018 with one mission: to build something far more meaningful than just a gym. From the very beginning, we wanted to create a safe, supportive and judgement-free space where people could strengthen both their bodies and their minds. A place where those who felt anxious, intimidated or overlooked in mainstream fitness environments could finally feel seen, welcomed and understood.

​

What began as a personal training studio quickly grew into a wellbeing space that blended fitness, counselling, nutrition, mindset coaching and personalised support. New Beginnings became more than a place to work out — it became a place to rebuild, to grow, and to start again. Our holistic approach helped people feel better physically, mentally and emotionally, and word spread fast that this was a gym unlike any other in Scunthorpe.

​

Our Growth: From One Studio to a Community Movement

As demand grew and the needs of our community evolved, so did our mission. We saw firsthand how many people were struggling with mental health challenges, trauma, loneliness and low confidence — and how movement, connection and support could change lives. This inspired the expansion of New Beginnings into a wider community impact network through our CICs.

​

2022 — The MoveMENt CIC

Created in response to the rising mental health challenges faced by men across North Lincolnshire, The MoveMENt CIC provides a safe and supportive environment where men can talk, train and heal. It combines physical activity, mental wellbeing support and community connection to help men facing anxiety, depression, grief, loneliness and suicidal thoughts.

2024 — The Bloom Initiative CIC

In 2024, we launched The Bloom Initiative CIC to support young people and young adults in Scunthorpe and North Lincolnshire. Bloom focuses on helping participants grow in confidence, resilience, and wellbeing through mental health groups, wellbeing sessions, skill development, educational workshops, inclusive social events, and practical work experience.

​

A key part of Bloom’s programmes includes barista training and participation in the Lincolnshire Coffee Festival, giving young people real-world skills and employability experience. Its aim is to help the next generation bloom into strong, healthy, and equipped individuals while fostering a supportive and inclusive community.

2025 — Sisters of Steel CIC

Our newest venture, Sisters of Steel CIC, was created in 2025 to empower women through strength, community and compassion. This CIC provides safe, supportive and inclusive fitness and wellbeing programmes specifically for women — helping them build physical strength, emotional resilience and a supportive sisterhood they can rely on.

​

Where We Are Today

Today, New Beginnings stands as a unique hub of fitness, wellbeing and mental health support in Scunthorpe. Our private studio continues to offer personalised, mental-health-informed training, while our three CICs enable us to reach men, women, young people, families and vulnerable groups across the region.

​

We are one of the only facilities in North Lincolnshire where fitness, mental health and community support come together — creating life-changing opportunities for every person who walks through our doors.
