Personal Training (PT) is great, but also cost prohibitive for most people.  Our rates ($30-$45 per session) are on the "low end" of the PT spectrum.  Considering we also recommend 2-3 times per week for at least 8 weeks for most goals, PT is quite the investment! 

Because of the cost involved with PT, we focus on an education, empowerment, and community.  During your sessions, we'll weave in lessons, research, and explanations that you can carry forward.  We do more than coaching, we teach. Your learn the science behind the exercises selected, how to see and correct muscle and posture imbalances, and so on.

​

You will also be connected to the Feminist Fitness Club while you do Personal Training with us.  The Feminist Fitness Club is a private, moderated, online space for feminists across the globe to network and nerd out about fitness, exercise, fat-acceptance, gender-affirming exercise, feminism, dismantling the patriarchy one strong body at a time!   This community membership is included in PT packages but is also available stand-alone at $5/month, making it affordable and more accessible to stay connected and supported!

Feminist Fitness is affirming and inclusive--all bodies can benefit from exercise; and exercise is more than just weight-loss.  

​

Our approach to Personal Training purposively avoids any focus on body size or weight. If a client wants to use the scale as a measure of success, we can do that, but that isn't the focus on PT through Feminist Fitness.

​

Our focus is helping you learn to feel good and powerful in the body you have now, and to empower you with the tools and support to get any specific physical results you may be looking for. For example, we love working with trans clients using exercise to affirm their gender identity. Or, middle aged women looking to prevent muscle and bone loss. Or, a postpartum person looking to workout safety. We believe in supporting and empowering your goals.

Personal training can bring up lots of issues about our bodies. How we feel about our bodies and how our bodies have been treated in the past will likely show up during personal training at some point.  If I need to stop, slow down, take a break, at any point, we will do so, and you will be thanked for communicating, saying no, and slowing down. If you want to push further, the trainer will be there for that too. This is your personal training, and for many of us there is more to learning how to engage our bodies than simply learning how to do a squat.  You are also encouraged to take breaks, talk through feelings, and react however you need during training. 

Central to getting back a sense of connection with our bodies is being able to control when and how your body is touched and/or objectified. During in person training, both client and trainer will ask permission to touch or move body parts, each and every time.
