Out Fitness just became Cleveland’s first and only gym to be LGBTQ+ Inclusive certified by [The Out Foundation](https://theoutfoundation.org/?ref=out.fitness)! That is a national nonprofit with a similar name and mission to support LGBTQ+ fitness and athletes. Now people can find us on their map [here](https://theoutfoundation.org/inclusive-fitness-finder?ref=out.fitness).

The certification required an assessment of our welcoming space, gender neutral facilities, anti-discrimination policies, and equitable pricing. Thank you to our members and supporters who make all that possible!

This comes at a good time, because we’re making big moves. I’m introducing a [virtual membership](https://www.out.fitness/#our-memberships) option for people to support us from beyond Cleveland. And we’re tripling our studio’s capacity for workouts, starting with [this Saturday’s moving day](https://hang.out.fitness/t/help-upgrade-rooms-on-aug-8/248) for our new Smith/cable machine donated by Ara. ❤
