WELCOME TO DECOLONIZING FITNESS
Decolonizing Fitness is not a gym, but an incredible educational resource for coaches, trainers, studio owners, and anyone who is interested in unlearning toxic fitness culture. Decolonizing Fitness as a practice is about providing a supportive environment to individuals who have historically not felt welcomed in fitness spaces i.e. people in larger bodies, people with disabilities, people with chronic pain, people over the age of 65 and people who are part of the LGBTQIA+ community.
If you are in search of an affirming movement practitioner in your area you can download the FREE list of providers below.
What is Patreon and why you should become a member?
Patreon is a platform where educators, artist and creators can share our offerings with folks in very sustainable ways. By becoming a member of my Patreon you immediately gain access to loads of awesome content while also helping to ensure that I am able to keep creating without having to worry about financial hardships.
There is a growing catalog of workout videos (including some awesome seated workouts) available on the Decolonizing Fitness Patreon with membership packages starting at $2 a month.
My Patreon is also for folks who would like to learn more about what Inclusive Fitness looks like in practice as well for movement professionals who would like to learn ways to make their spaces more affirming and accessible to diverse populations.

ALL MERCHANDISE SALES GOES TOWARDS BLACK TRANS HOUSING SUPPORT
Before the global pandemic hit Black trans people experienced disproportionately higher rates of houselessness (among many other inequities) as compared to the general population. Decolonizing Fitness has always been committed to not only shining light on the disparities that Black trans/gender diverse folks face but also finding ways to support our most vulnerable communities. Therefore, 100% of Shirt and E-Book Sales will be donated to help support Black Trans and Gender Diverse folks who are currently experiencing houselessness. This scholarship fund has been drastically depleted since the pandemic began. Please consider purchasing a an item so that I may continue to offer this much needed support to my community.
