The Mind Gym

The Mind Gym’s first workout was run on 1st September 2000 at Deutsche Bank in London.

The journey started a year earlier, over dinner when the conversation had turned to spotting trends in society. On the assumption that the 1980s had been the decade of the body, with the birth of jogging, nouvelle cuisine and Jane Fonda’s workouts, and the 1990s was the decade of the soul, with yoga, alternative medicine and feng shui, it was suggested that the 2000’s would be the decade of the mind (think ‘mind, body, soul’). And so the idea of a ‘mind gym’ was born.

By the tenth anniversary, over 500,000 people had taken part in one of The Mind Gym’s trademark 90-minute workouts, sprints, boosters or go-larges. These have been run in 30 different countries with 400 of the world’s most successful organisations from Google to Accenture, M&S to Pfizer, Shell to RBS. There are currently 100 qualified Coaches living in 14 countries who deliver these workouts.
