Inclusivity is one of our core values at The Well HQ and underscores everything we do. That is why we took the #SayThePay pledge to include a salary or salary band for at least 50% of all job posts for 2024 and 2025. By removing the “competitive salary” ambiguity, we can create a sports industry that values inclusivity, fairness, and empowerment for all its professionals, promoting salary transparency policies and encouraging organisations to diversify their teams and reach a high-performance culture. You can join us in taking the #SayThePay pledge and promoting salary transparency within our industry. Valeur #SayThePay #SalaryTransparency #Empowerment #InclusiveSalary #ValeurImpact

The type of feedback that shows we are on the right path! 💪 Thank you Andrew Gray MCIMSPA for sharing, and CIMSPA for being our partner on this journey.
It’s always great when you open up your emails on Monday morning and receive messages like this… “Thank you for introducing me to CIMSPA. With this membership I was offered the opportunity to do a course on women’s health and the menopause with The Well HQ. As a Personal Trainer of now 17years and in my 40’s, the topic that comes up a lot, is the menopause. This course gave me a great insight into women’s health, which then led me to do my own presentation at a company I personal train at. This is massively out of my comfort zone, but I did it 🙂 & dare I say, I would do it again, as the women and men in my audience learned a lot from it, which is exactly what I wanted. So thank you again for introducing me to CIMSPA.” #menopause #sport #physicalactivity #education #awareness #membership #personaltraining #personaldevelopment

Our CEO Baz Moffat and Lucy Horsell from PEBE joined forces to deliver our second workshop at Tottenham Hotspur Foundation, covering topics like pelvic floor health and how having the right kit impacts girls' experience in sports. We were thrilled to see the coaches truly engaged in learning more about how to make the most of their athletes' training, even during puberty! Thank you Tottenham Hotspur Foundation for having us 💪
The smile on your face when you know your week is off to a great start…. Today I had the opportunity to speak at Tottenham Hotspur Foundation working with an incredible group of girls’ coaches who want to take female health into their community programmes. And this wasn’t just any talk—I got to dive into my favourite (and often taboo) topics: pelvic floor health, which impacts so many girls and women in sports, even as early as puberty. We discussed practical ways to support bladder and bowel health with a “see one, do one, teach one” approach. By co-ordinating breathing exercises with movements like “cat/cow” and deep squats, they keep it practical and don’t even need to name body parts, which makes it so much easier for all involved. Lucy Horsell talked about creating the right kit for girls, including the importance of sports bras that fit them correctly, the materials that work best for active bodies, and how to correctly and appropriately measure sports bras. Finally, we had some fun with a quiz to test everyone’s knowledge, and they smashed it! In the end, we also got a quick tour of the stadium - the cherry on top of an amazing morning. It’s a privilege to connect with coaches who are ready to make a real difference and hear about all the brilliant ideas they are taking into action immediately after our session. I can't wait for phase 2 of the project, thank you Marc Leckie👋 and Dayne Matthieu for the opportunity! The Well HQ #womenssport #girlsinsport #femaleempowerment #workshop

Today, Baz Moffat, Dr Bella Smith, and Emma Ross were invited by ClearBank to put women’s health in the spotlight. Women experience many stages throughout their lives that impact both their personal and professional lives, making it essential for employers to understand these needs and offer meaningful support. With dozens tuning in online and a room full of in-person attendees, our co-founders covered key topics—from menstrual health and breast cancer awareness to the transitions of perimenopause and menopause. They explored how tracking cycles and understanding hormonal shifts can help women manage energy, mood, and focus, even preparing for hormonal fluctuations around big meetings and events. On breast cancer awareness, they highlighted the importance of regular self-checks and knowing your body—proactive steps that play a critical role in staying healthy. Finally, the conversation underscored the importance of staying active as we age, not just for long-term health but for everyday well-being. Companies can play a vital role in fostering this by creating supportive environments with flexible schedules and space for self-care. We’re honored to contribute to positive change in workplaces across the UK, making women’s work experiences more inclusive, supportive, and fair. 🤝 #womeninbusiness

We wrapped up a very busy week at The Well with our CEO, Baz Moffat, speaking at HCM Magazine's HCM Summit about the immediate need for female health to be a central part of the conversations in the wellness and fitness industry. Baz’s talk covered practical actions companies can take—from making sanitary products accessible to hosting workshops and training their staff—and was very well received by an audience that included some of the industry’s biggest players. To top it off, she signed dozens of copies of our book, The Female Body Bible, which sold out in minutes! 👏 We’re grateful for the chance to spark change at such an important event and look forward to seeing these conversations grow and drive real impact. #HCMSummit #femalehealth #womeninsports #womeninbusiness
We need to normalise conversations around female health within the fitness industry... Yesterday, I did my part by speaking about it on a large stage to an audience of some of the biggest names in the health and wellness industry at the HCM Summit. I had the opportunity to talk about The Well HQ, present some of the small actions that go a very long way in creating an inclusive environment for women, and the work we've been doing with amazing partners—including a live shout-out to The Gym Group, with Will Orr's brilliant remark that this is a "patient investment." And he’s absolutely right. It takes time, investment, and engagement from all levels, from senior leadership to staff, for change to happen. I talked to so many brilliant people, sold out of our book, The Female Body Bible, – which if I (if I may say so) should be in every fitness and health business’s new employee onboarding kit 😉 Talks from, Oliver Patrick (Pillar), Pieterjan Nuitten (Jims Fitness), Phillip Mills (Les Mills), Jonny Wilkinson (One Living), and Fahad Alhagbani (Armah Sports), left me inspired by how quickly our industry is evolving. But it’s not just about the pace of change; it’s about the direction. And we are here to ensure women are part of it - not only accommodated but understood, supported, and truly at the centre of it. Liz Terry - great job and thank you, what an amazing achievement #hcmsummit

Yesterday, Emma Ross led our first workshop with Tottenham Hotspur Foundation coaches to support girls in football through puberty. They had important discussions about the menstrual cycle, period pains, nutrition and body image, and injury prevention, amongst other topics that impact girls during this stage. We loved hearing it was a great success, with all participants fully engaged and committed to helping their young athletes reach their full potential. We look forward to the next session with Baz Moffat and Lucy Horsell from PEBE in a few weeks! #womeninsports #femaleempowerment #workshop
What a great start to the week! Yesterday the amazing coaches and community leads at Tottenham Hotspur Foundation bought high Monday energy to our half day workshop on supporting girls in football, with a focus on understanding girls experiences during puberty and how that might impact their enjoyment, participation and performance in football. It’s so inspiring to work with people who truly care about their players and are deeply committed to helping them get the most out of sport during the challenging years of puberty. And these coaches really know their girls—their challenges, their potential, everything. What's so cool about working with people who are so invested in the girls they work with is that this is what girls want. They want a coach who cares, who takes time to get to know them and build a quality relationship. Research shows that the quality of this relationship is more important to girls motivation and confidence in sport, compared to boys, who might focus more on their coach’s credentials. We covered key topics for anyone training girls, from the menstrual cycle and period pains to nutrition, body confidence and injury prevention. Really important conversations surfaced on how coaches can help make girls more comfortable in sports with actions that may seem small but can sit with their teenage athletes for the rest of their lives. For example normalising conversations around periods, creating a positive narrative about food, and understanding the impact of poorly fitting / men's fit kit. Since lots of the coaches in the room were men, we also talked about what a powerful role model they can be to boys, showing them how to acknowledge and understand girls experiences, openly and empathetically, rather than with judgement or criticism. In fact, the openness to learning and supporting their players from all the attendee's, but especially the guys who openly shared that some of these topics were new and unusual for them to talk about, is a reminder of the importance of having everyone on board to promote change in sports for girls and women. I left the workshop feeling deeply inspired by everyone’s commitment, and I’m already looking forward to the next session with this group led by Baz Moffat and PEBE's Lucy Horsell, covering kit, sports bra's and pelvic health in girls. Thanks to Orna Murray / Ní Mhuirithe and Giovana Penatti for workshop support, and to Marc Leckie👋and Dayne Matthieu and all the group for such a warm and engaging welcome to The Foundation.

We're proud of how far the Female Health First programme we developed with The Gym Group has come, and excited to see the positive impact it will continue to have on the lives of women all over the UK 🚀💪
Today for World Menopause Day, we are sharing the fantastic progress of our Female Health First programme with The Well HQ. Launched in 2023, we now have over 60 gym teams nationwide, equipped with the knowledge and understanding of the unique needs of the female body and life cycle, and skilled to deliver our female health-focused classes. Together, we’re not just talking about these important issues—we’re actively working to support our community and teams. We’re also proud to uphold our Menopause Friendly commitments. Recently, we hosted Over The Bloody Moon for an impactful allies workshop. Our male colleagues had the opportunity to experience some menopause symptoms firsthand through innovative tools like the MenoVest™ and VR headset. This experience supports further empathy and understanding, equipping our colleagues to be even better allies. We will always strive to creating a supportive and empowering environment for our teams and members, providing a great workplace and work out space, where everyone feels valued and understood. 💙
