BIF After Hours

Social events, seasonal celebrations and plenty of opportunities to connect with the BIF community—join in or simply come along to cheer.

BIF’s Halloween First Birthday Ball

Friday 30th October · From 7pm

We’re celebrating one whole year in the BIF studio! Expect music, party food, games and plenty of Halloween chaos. Fancy dress is optional, refreshments are included and you’re welcome to bring your own booze.

£12 per person

Christmas Wreath-Making Workshop

Friday 27th November · 6pm

Join us for a relaxed two-hour workshop and create your very own Christmas wreath to take home. You’ll receive guidance throughout, and all materials and equipment are provided. Complete beginners are very welcome.

£45 per person

BIF Liftmas

Sunday 6th December · From 2pm

Our Personal Best Day and Christmas Social! Celebrate your own achievements, support our lifters and enjoy Christmas music, mince pies and mulled wine—with hopefully a visit from Santa. This is a celebration, not a competition: no rankings or weight categories.

Free for everyone · Booking essential

Take part as a lifter

Work towards a squat, bench or deadlift goal with support from our coaches. Beginners are welcome, but you’ll need at least six weeks of regular training with us beforehand and your coach’s confirmation of an appropriate lift and goal. You don’t have to attempt a maximum.

Book as a lifter

Join our cheerleaders

Come along to watch, cheer everyone on and enjoy the festive atmosphere. Members and non-members are welcome—no lifting required. Please book a place for each spectator, as studio space is limited.

Book as a cheerleader

Please choose one booking option per person. Lifters don’t need an additional cheerleader ticket. Lifting times and warm-up arrangements will be confirmed nearer the event. Liftmas booking buttons open Mindbody in a new tab.

FAQs

Not at all! BIF After Hours events are open to members, non-members, friends, partners and anyone who would like to join us.
