The trainers and other members will help you feel comfortable quickly. We start each class with an introduction round, introducing you to the names and pronouns you’d like to use that day—a great opportunity to try out different pronouns. If you’d like to know what a specific class entails, read on to the training section.

I have no gym experience! What am I supposed to do?
Trainers will explain and demonstrate all exercises. They offer different variations for varying levels of strength and experience. While you perform the exercise, the trainers will ensure you do so safely. They may also correct you, either verbally or with touch. Before touching you, a trainer will ask for your consent. If you don’t give your consent, they will only correct you verbally.
