Pride Fit
There is no difference between a gay or straight fitness program except that this is our space. Cultivating environments for gay people to meet, lift each other up, and build confidence together is, and will continue to be, hugely important to offset all too prevalent non-queer-friendly places. We deserve to feel welcome in the gym just as much as anyone else.

Jim Collins Foundation
The Jim Collins Foundation raises money to fund gender-confirming surgeries for those transgender people who need surgery to live a healthy life, but have no ability to pay for it themselves. We recognize that for those people who require surgery for a healthy gender transition, lack of access to surgery may result in hopelessness, depression, and sometimes, suicide. The Jim Collins Foundation is a community-based initiative promoting the self-determination and empowerment of all transgender people.
