Fitness Workshop: Building an Affirming Gym Program

This is workshop #2 in a series of 5 Fitness Workshops designed specifically for the trans, gender diverse, and non-binary community aged 18 and over. Each session is independent — pick the ones that resonate most with you, no pressure to commit to the whole series.

This session dives into crafting a fitness program that works with your body, your goals, and your current stage of life — whether you’re navigating gender dysphoria in mirrored spaces, adapting to HRT changes, training for affirmation surgery, or simply seeking a sustainable, body-positive approach to movement.

Guided by the supportive and knowledgeable team at T Gen Gyms — including founder and head coach Sam Dengate (he/him) — you’ll walk away with practical tools to build, adapt, or refine your own workout plan. All experience levels are welcome; this isn’t about hitting generic benchmarks, it’s about creating space for your truth to move.

T Gen Gyms, Victoria’s 2026 Pride Award winner for Excellence in Small Business, is a trans-owned, community-driven space designed to be safe, affirming, and empowering for every body. Come as you are, leave with a plan that fits you.
