This initiative is a collaboration between Vondelgym and trans rights activist Thorn Vineyard. Thorn believes the gym should be a safe space for everyone. In the past, Thorn has had lots of negative experiences with gym life. From being kicked out of dressing rooms, to feeling uncomfortable and unsafe: ‘When I joined Vondelgym, I realized that my gender identity and a healthy life style were actually a lot easier to combine than I always thought due to previous transphobic incidents in other gyms.’
They felt the need for an event where trans people could hit the gym without having to worry about toxic (cis/het) energy. An event for trans people to heal, bond and of course have fun through physical activity.
