IRON MEN
Building stronger men through
fitness, brotherhood and mentorship.
WHAT It’S
ALL ABOUT
IRON MEN is a free Sunday fitness bootcamp on Wanstead Flats created for young Black men.
More than a workout, IRON MEN is a space for discipline, wellbeing and brotherhood. Each week, an average of 15 young men gather to train, connect and build strong peer networks in a consistent, positive environment.
The programme is delivered through an informal mentoring framework, with Black male mentors present at every session. Alongside the physical activity, these mentors offered trusted support, encouragement and role modelling — helping to create a space where young men felt seen, challenged and supported.

Brotherhood
