Last night was so special for the lads at Beyond the Chair Bristol💙

After taking time to reset, we came back together for our first session and what a powerful session it was. The energy in the room reminded us of exactly why this space matters.

We had an incredible guest speaker, Chris who delivered a truly impactful session, opening the door for honesty, vulnerability and connection. We’re incredibly grateful for the passion and openness he brought into the room, so from all of us at beyond the chair, thank you Chris. 

And to everyone who attended, thank you. Thank you for showing up, for trusting the space, and for speaking with honesty. The conversations were meaningful, brave, and deeply needed. We created a safe environment where real feelings could be shared without judgement and that is something special. 

The lads are only just getting start for 2026 and there’s plenty more to come. If you, or anyone you know would be interested in being one of our monthly guest speakers then please reach out. 

Our next session is 3rd June - watch this space!

We’re back everyone & with a new guest speaker 👋🏼

Meet Chris, a passionate mental health advocate who is running at least 5km every day throughout 2026 to raise awareness of how just 30 minutes of daily movement can improve both physical and mental wellbeing. This is all part of his movement GY30 Give Yourself 30.

Chris’s journey is personal. Growing up he faced challenges with mental health, including bullying, becoming a young parent, and feeling the pressure to step up as the man of the house. These experiences shaped his resilience and his purpose.

Over the past 6 to 7 years, Chris has seen firsthand how physical exercise can transform mindset, improve mood, and encourage healthier lifestyle choices that support mental health.

He is Beyond the Chair’s next guest speaker on 6th May at 7pm. You are not going to want to miss this.

🎉 One Year of Beyond The Chair 🎉

What a year it’s been. From day one, this community has shown up with honesty, courage, and heart. To everyone who has supported, liked, shared, and most importantly attended our sessions, thank you. You’re the reason this space exists, and you’re the reason it keeps going.

Next Wednesday we’ll be celebrating our first anniversary with a special chat from our founders, George and Rhys, as they reflect on the journey so far and everything we’ve built together.

This will also be our last session for the next month as we take some time to regroup, recharge, and level up the future. The boys are coming back with something bigger and better.

Stay tuned. Stay connected. And as always — keep talking, keep showing up, and keep looking out for each-other.

The boys at beyond the chair have a question for you. If you’ve been thinking about coming down but haven’t yet, what’s stopping you?
This is your sign. No pressure. No judgement. Just a relaxed space to have meaningful conversations and not feel judged.

The boys go again tomorrow at 7.30pm.

Happy Tuesday lads!

We start to welcome the lighter days ahead. 🌟 Just a quick check-in: How’s the year shaping up so far for you?

We can’t wait to see you and keep that positive momentum rolling! 🚀

At Beyond The Chair, we’re all about real conversations, the kind that help you breathe a little easier. You don’t need to be going through a tough time to show up.

Maybe you’ve had a long week.
Maybe your head’s a bit full.
Maybe you just fancy a brew, a laugh, and a space where no one expects you to “man up.”

This group isn’t just for the heavy stuff, it’s also a place to unwind, reset, and get things off your chest before they pile up. No pressure, no judgement, just good blokes having honest chats.

If that sounds like something you fancy, why not come on down and get involved.

We believe connection matters, not just when we feel strong, but especially when we feel weak. If you’re in Bristol and want to get involved, meet others, or find a conversation space, then beyond the chair is just for you.

Tomorrow. We go again. Come on down👊

January’s gone but the bank balance still hasn’t recovered 😅 If money stress is weighing heavy, or anything else in your life, you’re not alone. Sometimes talking it through with a bunch of like minded people really helps more than we realise.

Tomorrow, we go again. Come along and join the lads in some open and honest conversation. Get things off your chest. It honestly does help🤝

2026 is unwritten and that’s okay. Here’s to more honest chats, more shared moments, and more support for the days we need it most.
We’re here with you. See you tomorrow 🙏🏻
