Keep Radically Fit's Sliding Scale Programs Alive!

As a fat person, I have often struggled to find fitness spaces that felt safe and welcoming.  I started going to Radically Fit a little over a year ago, and it is such an amazing and supportive space.  I am able to feel strong in ways I never expected.  I'm excited to be able to help support  their mission to offer equitable access to fitness (and I hope you will too)!

More About Radically Fit:

Radically Fit was built to serve the LGBTQ/POC community by offering a safe, inclusive, and body positive space for anyone to workout and build strong relationships. At Radically Fit we believe that all people, regardless of socio-economic status, should have equitable access to health and fitness services. That is why no one will ever be turned away for lack of funds.

In order to ensure our services are accessible to all we offer:

1. A sliding scale membership option where anyone can pay what they can
2. A reduced rate POC personal training program for our members of color

Since opening our doors last year we've provided over $21,000 of free and discounted services to 60 of our community members. We've had 47 folx participate in our sliding-scale Community Cares program and subsidized over $16,500 in membership fees. We've had 13 people of color participate in our reduced rate POC personal training program and subsidized over $4800 in personal training services.

We are making fitness services accessible to the folx who are consistently underserved and under-represented in the mainstream fitness industry. The need is clear; currently almost 40% of our members are on the community cares program. But offering reduced rate services comes at a cost and we need support to sustainably offer low cost services to our low/no income community members.

In order to continue offering low and no cost services to the most marginalized members of our community, we need support. We are aiming to earn back this $20,000 in lost revenue during this January's fundraising event - Queers Who Lift: A Fundraiser to Keep Radically Fit's Sliding Scale Program Alive!
