Community guidelines

Queers and Allies Fitness is a space for queer, trans and nonbinary folx and our allies. These guidelines keep it that way. Everyone who trains here agrees to them: members, guests, coaches and visitors.

Respect people as they are

• Use the name and pronouns people share with you. If you're not sure, just ask.
• If you get it wrong, correct yourself and move on.
• No comments about anyone's body, size, gender, or how they should look or train.

Be kind and friendly

We're a community-focused gym, so feel free to say hi, say bye, and make a friend. Be kind and respectful, and give people their space.

No harassment

We don't tolerate harassment, slurs, hate speech, intimidation, or unwanted touching, flirting or advances. That includes anything said online about people you met here.

Photos and video

• Feel free to film yourself, tag us, and have fun with it. Just respect other people's privacy: ask before you photograph, film, or post anyone else.
• Never share someone's identity, transition, or personal details without their permission.

Coach only when asked

Unless someone asks for tips, let them train their way. If you see something unsafe, tell a coach.

Take care of the space

• Re-rack your weights and wipe down what you use.
• Don't slam or drop weights. If you have to drop it, it's too heavy.
• Keep bags and personal items in the lockers.
• If you're the last one out, close the doors and turn off the lights.

24/7 access is just for you

Your access is for you only, so don't let anyone in behind you. Guests need a guest pass, which is good for 24 hours. Guests of Premium members can come in any time, as long as they're with the member.

If something happens, tell us

Talk to Hayden or a coach in person, or email contact@queersandalliesfitness.com. We take every report seriously and keep it as private as we can.

What happens if guidelines are broken

Depending on what happened, we may give a warning, pause your access, or end your membership.

Some things mean you'll be asked to leave right away and may lose your membership:

• Harassment, including sexual harassment
• Slurs, hate speech, or deliberately misgendering someone
• Threats, intimidation, or violence
• Touching someone without their consent
• Photographing, filming, or outing someone without their consent
• Theft or damaging the gym or other people's things
