We know that cost, time, and other barriers can get in the way of joyful movement.
That’s why we created The Class Fund: to help you get moving without the stress.
We offer free and subsidized classes, sliding scale rates, and support for folks navigating systemic barriers.
Especially those in marginalized communities.
If you need a boost, we’ve got you.

No hoops to jump through. Just real support, from real people who care.

LET'S MAKE MOVEMENT MORE ACCESSIBLE
The current usage of the term “equity-seeking group” at Body Positive Fitness refers to any group requiring specific measures to improve access to fitness programs and services.
While we are cognizant of a wide array of groups that face systemic barriers, currently, the priority equity-seeking groups for receiving assistance through the Class Fund are the following communities:
- IBPOC (Indigenous, Black, and People of Colour)
- 2SLGBTQIA+ (Individuals who self-identify as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex, Asexual, Two-Spirited, and more)
- Persons with Disabilities, Persons Living with Mental Illness, and Deaf Persons
- Persons Experiencing Weight-Based Discrimination

equity priority
Between January 2020 and December 2024, Body Positive Fitness held multiple campaign drives to increase the Class Fund in support of folks facing financial barriers to fitness. Over 160 contributors have helped to raise enough funds to provide over $19.7K in subsidies—amounting to 64% of the cost of services provided to Class Fund Recipients since 2020.

thank you for your contributions
Thanks to the generosity of the Body Positive Fitness community, there has been at least one person in our classes - week after week - who is there thanks to the assistance made possible by the Class Fund. We're asking you join us in making that possible for even more people by making a contribution to the Class Fund.
The Class Fund is a necessary resource that provides access to fitness programs to those who have historically been excluded due to discrimination or other barriers.
Financial contributions to the Class Fund allow us to provide class passes and training at no or low costs to those who have historically had limited access to fitness programs due to discrimination and exclusion. If you can help, please do.
Together we can assist the struggling members of this community by helping them move, stretch and dance regardless of individual circumstances.
