6 MIN FROM HACKNEY WICK

The Body People Fitness, Aerial & Dance Studio was created by founder Chloe Redmond as a space for people to feel good in their bodies, without the pressure of unrealistic beauty standards.

As a Black, Queer woman from East London, it’s important for me to take up space in an industry that often prioritises aesthetics over well-being. The Body People is the first boutique studio bringing together fitness, aerial, and dance under one beautifully Afrocentric roof, with a timetable that reflects the joy and diversity of movement. More than just a studio, it’s a bold, beautiful, and unapologetically Black Queer space open to all allies, a first-of-its-kind home for the community to move, connect, and thrive. 

With 16 years in the fitness and wellbeing industry, Chloe brings a powerhouse of a team to provide popular and accessible classes for everyone, as well as private hire of the space for corporate, party packages and self practice/rehearsals.
