QueerFit
An inclusive workout class for the LGBTIQA+ community.
QueerFit is a welcoming, inclusive fitness program for LGBTQIA+ communities and their allies. Designed to be a safe, supportive, and judgement-free space, QueerFit encourages participants to move, connect, and build confidence in an environment where everyone is respected and celebrated.
More than just a fitness class, QueerFit is a community. We know that for many participants, social connection, inclusion, and feeling comfortable can be just as important as exercise. Whether you're looking to improve your fitness, meet new people, build confidence, or simply be yourself in a supportive environment, QueerFit is here for you.
We proudly welcome people of all sexualities, genders, identities, and backgrounds, including transgender, gender-diverse, non-binary, and questioning community members. Allies who support and respect LGBTQIA+ inclusion are also welcome.
QueerFit is part of Yarra Leisure's commitment to creating accessible and inclusive spaces for everyone, supporting Rainbow Yarra's vision of connection, belonging, health, and wellbeing.
