Non Gendered Fitness

We are SO excited to be teaming up with the Pride Shed to deliver an online LGBTIQ+ peer fitness pilot program starting next Wednesday (17th May) on IDAHOBIT!

If you are living in the Geelong region, over 18 and looking to work on your fitness or simply move more, this 6 week program could be for you.

During the program, you'll meet other people with similar interests who you may buddy up with or connect with. And if gyms aren't your jam, you might want to try this 🙂

This is NOT a 6 week workout bootcamp, it's a workshop-based introduction to online fitness. And you'll walk away knowing everything you need to know about getting started working out from home!

Check out the link to register and for more information.

Work on fitness (from beginner to experienced) and find local LGBTIQ+ work out buddies. This online peer fitness program has you covered.

This week we get get to be bottom of the question 'How Do Muscles Grow?"🙌

Check out the next part to the latest mini-series on most important things to know about your body! 😎🤙

Because one of the most common things I hear folks say when they start training is that they don’t want to “get bulky”. So I’m gonna be breaking down how muscle growth works and why weight training doesn’t actually mean you're gonna build muscle mass.

If you feel great chest binding, that's awesome!

If it doesn't feel good for you to chest bind, that's also just as awesome!

Do what feels good for you.

I personally chest bind and feel great about it. Bowie doesn't chest bind and feels great about that.

Figure out what makes you feel good. Either way, you are valid in your gender identity regardless of how you express yourself and present.

Live on Aboriginal Land? Then lets pay the rent!

We know that Australia always was and always will be Aboriginal Land. We are also painfully aware that the land was taken forcibly, without a Treaty or reparations made.

Non Gendered Fitness has just taken a practical step towards honouring sovereignty – We've started paying the rent – and we invite you to do so too.

Check it out -

Stoked to be part of this article sharing the importance of creating LGBTQIA+ affirming training spaces.

And we're especially proud of being able to support one of the raddest humans we know Jodie SN not only with her trianing but also as she spoke up about her experiences navigating toxic gyms and training spaces.

There is still so much stigma around q***r bodies in training spaces and conversations about this are so important.

Way to go The Sydney Morning Herald for helping start the conversation.

And shout out to our pals at Pony Club Gym who we were excited to see contribute to the article. If you're after an affirming training space to head to in Melbourne's North, check these folks out 🤙🏻

Non Gendered Fitness is one of several new gyms popping up that offer a safe space for trans, gender diverse and q***r folk to train.

Today, we'll be exploring how getting started with training can feel weird. Specifically how awkward, uncomfortable, and even embarrassing moving our bodies can be! 😬

I’ve worked with so many folks that have found that weirdness and discomfort has been a big barrier for them in staying active.

Relatable?

We talk all about it in this podcast, so feel free to check it out! 🤙

We are SO excited to be finalists for the Globe Community Awards, in the 'Improving Health and Wellbeing for LGBTIQ Peoples' category!

We've worked our butts off this year bringing inclusive fitness training for q***r and TGD folks, not just in Victoria, but Australia-wide and around the world.

And we feel so honored to be among the other finalists, Thorne Harbour Health and Rainbow Connect who are doing MASSIVE things for our community.

And we LOVE that the Globe Awards night will be in-person next year...

I remember all the wonderful performances.

The emotionally-driven speeches.

Seeing friends be acknowledged for all the hard work supporting our community.

When the wait staff randomly started dancing.

Celebrating q***r awesomeness and people doing amazing things for our community!

Dancing all night, partying with people we are usually professional with and making new friends.

Oh how I long for experiences like this again.

Here are the other finalists in the different categories if you're interested!

“How do you train to look more masculine?” 🤷

This is a question we get asked quite a lot!

We've personally used fitness training to affirm our own gender identity and as a way to transition non-medically.

Listen to the podcast episode to hear our answer and thoughts about this common question...

Exciting news for the company, what this means for you and touching on the topic of training to present more masculine.
