Ethics Statement: Accessibility, Inclusion, and Acknowledgement

Feminist Fitness provides trauma-informed, LGBTQ+ affirming, anti-racist, and disability inclusive fitness, wellness, and coaching support. Feeling good and empowered in your own body is foundational to social justice. We believe all people have the right to movement and health support.  Feminist Fitness helps you love your body, move your body, take back your body.

 

Guiding Principles:

1. Feeling good and empowered in your body is not dependent on a particular body size,  weight, shape, gender, age, ability, and so on. People who want a change in their body will be supported, but Feminist Fitness staff and contractors will never suggest a change in the size, shape, or look of your body.  

2. We are an explicitly feminist and affirming company, meaning that we LGBTQ+ affirming and anti-racist. When in comes to sex/uality, we adopt a nonjudgmental, “sex-positive” attitude to all forms of consensual sex, relationships, and sexual identities.  

3. We believe this work is foundational to social justice movements, and that feeling empowered in one’s body improves autonomy.  Because so many marginalized people have trauma related to their bodies, Feminist Fitness centers trauma-informed approaches to movement, health, and wellness. 

4. Feminist Fitness is silly and fun (and fiery and fierce when we need to be), non-competitive, and education focused. 

5. As a feminist business, we practice transparency, accountability, fair pricing, and profit-sharing. We also approach related business and people with abundance; there is enough pie for everyone. 

6. Our workouts and classes are safe and accessible for all bodies. We apply cutting-edge research and science on human movement and exercise to design our programs.  We intentionally seek, apply, and share out knowledge.  Education is power.
