I shared a plan to upgrade all three of our studio’s rooms to be “strength rooms,” because our members almost always prefer our current Strength Room. The change would effectively triple our capacity for workouts!
Now I need help with an equipment moving day on Saturday, August 8. We will be transporting a new Smith/cable machine as well as rearranging some equipment in the studio, and I will provide a U-Haul truck and tools. If you might be able to assist, please email me, text me at 216-250-2098, or reply to this post!
This new RitFit rig, which is a combination Smith machine and cable crossover with plates, is an incredible donation from our member Ara! Transporting and reassembling this machine will be our main task on the Aug. 8 moving day.
Other ways to help
- Membership is always the best way to keep our studio going strong. Thank you to all our current members.
- Save the date for a “Get Involved” open house on Sept. 5 to learn about other roles for Out Fitness.
- Donate if you’d like, and I’ll use the funds for our room upgrades. Thank you.
“Triple down on strength” plan
I created this plan based on a goal of more time and space for your workouts, and it aligns with a mission statement that I’m testing for Out Fitness: to unlock the inner strength of our queer community.
Every room’s equipment would include: dumbbells with bench, cable machine, bike, and another cardio option. Each room would have its own specialties, too. Below is my tentative plan our three rooms, including new names to differentiate them. How well would these rooms serve you? Feedback is very welcome!
Márquez Room
Named for our building owners who incubated our studio
- dumbbells set and bench
- Inspire FTX cable machine
- spin bike
- rowing machine
Lewis Room
Named for our longest-tenured member

- Peloton spin bike (new as of May)
- elliptical
