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.
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.
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 essentialPlease 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.
