Sports & Movement at Affirmations
Many queer and trans individuals, particularly young adults ages 18 to 35, avoid gyms and traditional sports settings due to harassment, gendered structures, or unwelcoming environments.
Affirmations offers an alternative: a rotating series of group play and classes spanning pickleball, bike groups, run/walk groups, and dance styles like hustle and ballroom. Participants can move between offerings based on interest and ability, with the program explicitly welcoming trans and nonbinary participants at every level. The format grows and adapts based on what the community asks for next.
