BTND (Better The Next Day) is an inclusive fitness community and non-profit organization founded by Hyrox champion Jake Williamson that focuses on functional fitness, Hyrox training, and creating safe spaces—particularly for the LGBTQ+ community.
Better The Next Day (BTND) is a UK-wide community organisation using fitness and connection to improve physical and mental health for LGBTQ+ communities and people experiencing poor mental health, loneliness or low confidence. Many participants have had negative past experiences in mainstream gyms or team sports, leading to long periods of disengagement from physical activity.
"LGBTQ+ people continue to feel excluded, unsafe or unwelcome in mainstream sport and fitness environments," BTND explained.
"Fear of judgement, past experiences of discrimination and anxiety about being visibly different are major barriers. This grant will help us expand Run Crews and Gym Crew sessions, removing financial and confidence-based barriers by offering free or low-cost sessions in safe, welcoming spaces.".
The funding will support venue access, session delivery, equipment, and volunteer support.
