Decolonizing Fitness

WELCOME TO DECOLONIZING FITNESS

Decolonizing Fitness is not a gym, but an online 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 particularly Black, Indigenous, people of color & folks from the global majority, queer and gender expansive people, fat folks, people with disabilities, people with chronic illnesses, people who are facing economic challenges and folks who are 65 and older.

NEW SHIRTS: I SUPPORT TRANS AND non-binary athletes

Trans & Non-binary people are part of some of the most targeted groups in our communities. With over 400 anti-trans bills introduced this year alone attacking trans athletes, gender affirming healthcare and the autonomy of trans youth. These anti-trans bills also have a centuries long history as some of the first legal policing of trans people in the United states, began in the 1840s until the 1930s in the form of what is now known as Crossdressing Legislations. The explicit goal of these laws was to disappear Trans and Non-binary folks from the public so that the government could naturalize the myth that there are only men & only women who exist and they look a certain way. Now more than ever it is time to show solidarity with Trans & Non-binary people as we have always been here and deserve to exist just as we are. Also, by supporting the work of Decolonizing Fitness you are directly helping to sustain supporting a Black trans person.
