Sydney Cassidy is the founder of Gym Girls Locker Room – a community of like-minded women looking to build strength and confidence at the gym where they can support, encourage and communicate with one another – which we are sure you’d agree aligns so perfectly with what we do at Kic.

Sydney began her fitness journey at a low point in her life, mainly pursuing exercise for her mental health, saying “fitness is more about how it makes me feel than what I get from it, physically”, which many of us can relate to.

Sydney explains how Gym Girls Locker Room came about, what is ‘gymtimidation’ and how to overcome it, being kind to your inner child, overcoming a lack of confidence and self worth, and accepting yourself for all of your imperfections.
