Guaranteed to make you feel good!
Jungle Runners
Come and join our fun, friendly and immersive silent disco workout to drum & bass in the woods. Dance routines are woven between short, mixed ability runs. Classes are carefully designed to tread as lightly as possible, limiting our footfall impact whilst learning about and connecting to nature.
MoveGB Climbing Wall

BoPo Bootcamp
Brought to you by Bristol’s very own Unitard Fitness Twins – AKA Carly and Cat – our Body Positive (BOPO) Bootcamp is designed for ANYBODY who wants to move, get fit and feel great in the skin they’re in. Exercises will be adapted to suit all abilities and needs, so whether you’re a fitness aficionado or feel terrified at the thought of getting your legs out in front of strangers, come and join our gang and celebrate simply being YOU!
Harbourside 5k
From its people to its buildings and open spaces, Bristol is a beautifully diverse city. Lacing up our trainers and seeing our city as our playground is one of the best ways for us to connect with where we live. Who needs a gym? The city will become our playground on this chatty-paced 5k run through Bristol’s iconic Harbourside. Starting from the M-Shed, we’ll weave our way around the river, pausing to use the different spaces and street architecture we pass to stretch and strengthen abs, arms and legs. Connect with our city and with each other. Kick start those endorphins and feel energised for the day ahead.
Saturday, October 20th and Sunday, October 21st, Harbourside

Aerial Yoga
We do like to do things differently at Wild & Well so we’re thrilled to be teaming up with Nay’s Yoga to offer aerial yoga…from the M-Shed cranes! Suitable for everyone, including complete beginners, yogis use a special kind of hammock which acts like a soft trapeze, supporting the hips for forward and back bends. This gentle, elegant yoga practice is perfect for those who have problems with some postures on the ground.

The Wild & Well Pair Run
This is a super fun way of training with significant benefits – working the lactate shuffle systems in the body. Once runners are paired up, they run as a relay team over a set course with diagonal run back recoveries to the start position. For the Wild & Well Pair Run – participants will be paired up randomly to increase the chance element.
