Gymnos was a naturist group for men. Most but not necessarily all of its members were gay. It offered regular naturist parties in members' homes, and naturist swimming sessions at several public swimming pools around London.[1] The name is taken from the Greek word γυμνός meaning "naked".

Gymnos closed down on 31 March 2010.
