Fitness Workshop: Transfem Workout & Mythbusters Q&A

This is workshop #3 in a series of 5 Fitness Workshops designed specifically for the trans community — and you’re warmly invited to join, whether you’re brand new to movement or already lifting weights.

Half workout, half no-holds-barred Q&A. Fem-aligned folks coming together to train using movement patterns and coaching cues built specifically for transfem bodies. And then? We gather over a cup of tea or coffee to bust the myths that keeps swirling around — like whether estrogen kills muscle, what all the booty band hype is about, or why Google keeps getting it wrong.

Come to move, stay for the real talk. This isn’t about fitness advice that either ignores your transition or treats it like a problem to fix. All experience levels are welcome — no gym membership, no prior knowledge, just bring yourself.

The workshop will be delivered by the T Gen Gyms coaching team, including Sam Dengate (he/him) — founder and head coach — at their trans-owned, community-driven space in Coburg North.

T Gen Gyms is the 2026 Victorian Pride Awards winner for Excellence in Small Business — and this workshop series is all about building sustainable fitness habits, body autonomy, navigating gym spaces, mental resilience, and reclaiming movement on your own terms.

Feel free to book one, a few, or all workshops — no pressure to attend the whole series. Choose what resonates with you.
