WE ARE EXILE
A passionate community of science-based fitness experts
Being in a state of exile means to be forcibly restricted from coming to a certain place, usually as a form of punishment. This can be observed when a person is exiled from their home country. The state of exile can also be commonly observed socially, in someone’s behaviour towards another, leading to an imposed feeling of rejection, disapproval, or exile.
This feeling of exile or exclusion can be observed for many reasons across many aspects of life; be it from bullying in school or in the workplace, ridicule of your lifestyle by peers or colleagues, or simply as a result of someone’s struggle to naturally fit in or belong. Whatever your reason for feeling exiled, you are valid and you do belong.
Having experienced exile both in and out of the fitness industry, Fatima, Sam & Craig created Exile Fitness Academy as a way to share their supportive bond with the rest of the fitness community. We wanted to create a safe space where all could be welcome to share their successes and their struggles as part of a collective identity, free of judgment and exclusion
WHAT WE DO
OUR MESSAGE
Fitness can be daunting, and gym-based environments can be intimidating. For an exile, a gym can be a place that elicits negative feelings and apprehensions. If you are a first-timer who feels stared at, judged, or that they don’t belong in a fitness environment, in EXILE you belong. If you are a seasoned gym participant made to feel excluded by non-like-minded individuals who for example make fun of your pre-prepared lunch at work, in EXILE you belong. Our highly trained team of coaches possess a vast knowledge base underpinned by real-world, results-driven protocols, grounded in the most up to date, cutting edge scientific research. Whatever your goals or experience level, we are here to help you on every step of your fitness journey. Our message here at EXILE is a simple one:
No matter your background, your goals, or your experience, in EXILE you will be accepted into a community of like-minded individuals with relatable experiences who will support you as you support them to create a more complete, more fulfilled, healthier version of yourself.
Together we will THRIVE in EXILE.
