The unique Barcelona gym with free membership - BBC REEL

After the Sant Pau gym in Barcelona went bankrupt, its employees transformed it into a self-managed community project where membership is free for those who can’t afford to pay.
The gym sits at the border between Raval, a low-income neighborhood, and the more affluent Sant Antoni, which makes it an unexpected meeting point.

It was a very touching story, an example of kindness of the humanity💚

As Argentinian person who has lived in the street and has plans to move to Barcelona that was very heartwarming. I cried when he talked about the showers, it may seem unimportant, but it was something traumatizing in that moment. I literally cried. I'm hoping to be part of projects like this in a near future.

A fine example of escsping capitalist vicious logic of prioritising profit, exploitation and control of the many by the few.
