Trans Gym
Phoenix Fitness recognizes the need for a gym that is for the Trans community. Physical fitness can be challenging and intimating, especially when it comes to finding a safe place to work out that is both body-positive and trans-positive. A gym specifically for this community would not only be a place where they will not be judged, but will also be supported in their efforts to improve their bodies reflecting their internal identities. In addition, to creating a welcoming space, each member will receive a foundational training session with guidance and programming for their specific goals......
Why Persad Center
As one of Persad Center’s service offerings to the community, Phoenix Fitness is the first Trans gym in Pennsylvania operated by a non-profit organization. The idea for the gym was conceived based, in part, on research emerging nationally that addresses the unique needs of Trans and Gender non-conforming individuals.
Phoenix Fitness will open to Persad clients in mid-March with a roll out to the greater community to follow. Persad Center is offering free membership to the community as an asset to the community and will initially be offered to members of the Trans community with the expressed understanding that ongoing community support, with the assistance of the advisory committee, may lead to adjustments.
