Fitness Workshop: Movement for Affirmation - Squat, Bench & Deadlift Clinic

This event is for transgender, gender diverse, and non-binary people age 18+

This is workshop #5 in a series of 5 Fitness Workshops designed for the trans community.

The Fitness Workshops series covers things the trans community actually wants from movement, body autonomy, navigating gym spaces, HRT and training, mental health and resilience, and building sustainable fitness habits for the long term. 

You are welcome to book as many workshops in this series as you like. No need to attend all of them. Choose the ones that you want.

Fitness Workshop 5: Movement for Affirmation - Squat, Bench & Deadlift Clinic

A practical technique clinic on the big three lifts (squat, bench, deadlift) coached with an affirming lens. 

Our coaches will break down form for a range of bodies and help you workshop your lifts under the eyes of a trans coach. Together, we will discuss the reality of training in a body that doesn't always move like the textbook diagram.

Whether attendees are chasing a first proper lift or refining lifts they've done for years, they'll leave with cleaner technique, a stronger lift, and coaching cues actually built with them in mind. All expressions and experience levels welcome.
