List of Size-Inclusive Gyms

One thing we don’t have at PowerUP is a space for you physically walk in and utilize. Maybe one day!

But! There are some fantastic brick and mortar gyms, studios, and outdoor events that specifically demonstrate size inclusivity through their general environment, staff/coaches, equipment, and policies. I’d like to share them with you. This list will be updated as I come across more. If you know a gym that should be on this list, please email me (contact@sarahempowers.com) and let me know!
