Hey everyone! I wanted to say thank you to everyone for being a part of the early stages of building this awesome community. I am super excited to see where we are headed next and share more info on what is up and coming. The main update I have for you all: beginning January 19th, 2026 this community will be transitioning from a free group to a paid membership at $30/mo. Why the change? Value value value. My intention with this group is not to just be a place where you hangout - I am doing a full re-vamp of what community means for fitness & nutrition. Adding more value for you, including: - Live meetings with Coach Em on a wide-array of topics within the nutrition & fitness realm (Goal setting, Q&A’s, community progress checks, and more) - Weekly educational posts, with educational video modules coming in February - Resources for nutrition, training, mindset (ie recipes, workouts, form checks, handouts etc.) - Monthly giveaways (beginning in February) - And minimum- a more organized and intentional queer-community experience. This isn’t going to be a space where you will feel like you have no sense of direction- I want to be sure you’re actually progressing with a clear plan and quality support. If you’re interested in joining the paid membership when it launches: 30-days from when you FIRST joined the group, I will switch you over and a banner will prompt you to pay the membership when you login. If you stay in the group with free access, you will still be able to see old posts & resources, but you will not be able to access any of the future above-mentioned benefits. Current Proud Nutrition Coaching Clients will still have the free tier, full-access. There is no pressure to join. I appreciate everyone who has been a part of the trial run this past month and I am excited about the opportunity to dive deeper. Let’s keep growing and getting better together! Coach Em
