WHY YOUR MEMBERSHIP MATTERS.
One of the ways we have always departed from mainstream gym culture is by supporting our community members who need it most. We know a lot of folks simply can't afford gym membership who would most benefit from our services, and that's why we have created sponsored memberships and opportunities for those in need.
We continue our commitment to building an inclusive community by offering 10 sponsored (free) local all-inclusive and 10 online (HOMEBODY VOD*) memberships. These memberships are for both locals and folks who reside outside the LA metro area.
If you are in need of our services, including access to a fully equipped gym, classes led by and for our diverse community, and online programming available anywhere in the world, we invite you to fill out our online form by 12/31 to be considered. Recipients will be notified early January.
Transgender, BIPOC, and disabled folks highly encouraged to apply! (Even if you reside out of state!)
We understand that services and healthcare access are particularly at risk for our queer and transgender community members at this moment, and we would love to reach those in regions outside California where safe and guaranteed access to LGBTQIA+ affirming healthcare and services is being restricted and banned by the incoming Administration.
If you know of any LGBTQIA+ orgs in ‘red states,’ or more deeply affected areas, please help us reach out by forwarding this link and invitation to apply for membership.
Thank you for your support and membership, which helps us subsidize and support these sponsorship opportunities. Consider joining or renewing during our membership sale going on now thru 12/31/24!
During this time of year, we also want to make it abundantly clear that your body is the BOSS, and we’re here to listen to what you need to help you connect with your own body, just as you are. Our shared goal is for folks to feel better in their bodies, to love their bodies, and for movement to be a form of pleasure, not punishment. Unlike most gyms, we don’t tell you what you need to do or look like to be “fit” or “healthy.” Our mission is clear and guided by a fundamental goal of making health and wellness accessible, inclusive, and affordable for all people.
*WHAT IS HOMEBODY VOD?
Our online programming has evolved from ZOOM classes created overnight in the wake of the pandemic as a means for our own survival as a small business when our brick and mortar location was forced to close for 6 months in 2020. During this time, we had to go exclusively online, growing our audience overnight to people across the US and the world.
From $5 livestreams on ZOOM to a wide range of home workout videos you can do in your room (or anywhere in the world!), HOMEBODY has now expanded to a growing fitness video library that is accessible to all!
Most importantly, we developed HOMEBODY to show that people who have historically been excluded from fitness spaces and leadership are the most important people to feature at this critical time when representation matters most. We also recognize that there are many people who either require or prefer the ability to work out from home for their own comfort and safety.
Along with our core MOVE/BUILD classes, we deliberately celebrate movement in non-traditional forms that include restorative and non-aerobic modalities. Centering rest and restoration with our RISE/HEAL classes is just as important to health and wellness!
HOMEBODY offers a wide range of movement practices that give you a variety of options for home workout: Yoga, Pilates, Boxing, Barre, Dance, Aerobics, Tai Chi, Meditation, Self-Defense, Weightlifting tips for top surgery, Mobility, Core & more! And it’s all produced in house by local members, staff, and our friends at SLOW BLINK, with a super fun 80’s neon vibe. No more ZOOM logins or rewinding tapes, just watch on your phone, tablet or desktop 24/7!
VOD is also included in your membership or available as a separate subscription for non-local folks. (Or anyone who requires/ prefers an online only workout option.)
