Here at Therabody, we believe that wellness should be accessible to everyone. In celebration of Pride, we recently sat down with our LGBTQ+ community to find out what wellness means to them. Now, weâre proud to continue the conversation through our partnership with The OUT Foundation. In providing its community of fitness enthusiasts with $100,000 worth of Therabody products and services, we stand with their mission to remove barriers that block the LGBTQ+ communityâs access to fitness, health, and wellness to ensure their success.
Who is The OUT Foundation?
It can be hard for many LGBTQ+ young adults to feel comfortable participating in fitness, and The OUT Foundation is partnering with local gyms across the country to change that. They are dedicated to nurturing, empowering, and celebrating bodies and minds to guarantee that the community thrives.
The OUT Foundation offers an inclusive gym finder for anyone looking to join a supportive fitness community, anyone moving to a new city and looking for a gym where theyâll be accepted for who they are, or for anyone traveling and looking to get a workout in somewhere theyâll be welcomed.
Check out their inclusive gym finder.
OUTAthletics
