What a trip! Attending Gay Games XII in Valencia Spain was such an amazing experience. 9000+ q***r athletes from all over the world in one beautiful fun city. Swept the All Gender Age Group category for all my races (golds for the 5k, 10k, and half marathon) with the support of the Grateful to represent them as well as and the .project
Cal ( )also tucked some very impressive wins under his belt! Proud to have watched him and friends compete in their sports, and be a part of Team Long Beach! And now to commence bulking season! Oh, and besides sportsing, we did a good amount of exploring the city; it is one I’ll never forget.

Hello! My name is Monk. I’m a non-binary movement specialist with over 15 years of experience in navigating and unpacking the ways the fitness industry has impacted my life and the lives of many others.

Early on, I was both influenced and harmed by the fitness industrial complex, even as I was undergoing certification. The industry often promotes toxic ideals that can be deeply harmful, especially for marginalized groups like black, brown, gender expansive, and larger-bodied individuals. Through years of reflection and unlearning, I’ve come to see how deeply the industry perpetuates harmful narratives around weight loss, body ideals, and achievement culture.

I aim to redefine fitness in a way that values each person for who they are regardless of gender, size, age, ability, or background. This journey is personal for me, and I am committed to making inclusive fitness a reality, particularly for those harmed or excluded by traditional fitness models.

New updates: Wednesday sprints start at 4:30pm. And Thursday 5pm Bluff classes are canceled until further notice.
All group classes, whether on Zoom or in person, still operate on a sliding scale donation basis.
