Queer Work Out Club

Queer-Led Group Training in Toronto

What is Queer Work Out Club?

What To Expect

Your instructor will lead the group in a workout of the day, starting with a warm-up, detailed instruction of each exercise, and modifications provided for each individual’s comfort and level of ability.

The workouts will evolve based on feedback from the group, but typically includes at least 1 barbell exercise.

An Inclusive Program

This program is for everybody in the queer community. All genders, orientations, ages, adaption needs, personal histories & family structures.

Anyone who self-identifies as queer is invited to join the club.

Prerequisites

Some weightlifting experience is required.

Be sure to read the FAQ for all program policies. 

We’re currently piloting a flexible drop-in program.

  • Credit Packs Instead of A Committed Block: You’ll buy a package of 3 credits ($96 +HST) and can use them to book any of the upcoming Queer Work Out Club sessions —no need to stick to the same day of the week. 

  • Booking & Waitlist: Use your credits to reserve a spot from the schedule, or add yourself to the waitlist if there are no spots left. If someone cancels and you’re next on the list, the system will automatically book you in (if you have a credit available).

  • Cancellations: Cancel your reservation at least 6 hours before the session begins to get your credit back. This way, you only use credits for sessions you actually attend. 

    • Note: There won’t be makeup sessions this time around, so remember to cancel if your plans change! This includes remembering to cancel your waitlist request too, if you can no longer attend.
