Hi everyone! Since this is the very beginning of our community, I'd like to have a post for all members to write up an introduction so we can all get to know each other better. This is optional and please only share what you are comfortable with! If you want to do this, please comment below and include: - Name & Pronouns - Where you’re joining from (city/state or time zone) - What brought you here - Primary goal (nutrition, fitness, consistency, energy, WL, etc.) - Current movement style (gym, home, none, returning after a break) - One thing you’re excited about Alright, I am Coach Em (she/her) and I run this from Kansas City. I wanted there to be an inclusive community for queers to learn the CORRECT information about nutrition & fitness. Many of you have joined from TikTok, which is sick!. TikTok is great, but time after time I see viral posts with mediocre and/or just blatantly incorrect information that people try to implement. If you follow me, you know my content is more educational based & long. This place will be for even more dense material so you actually learn the "whys" behind things instead of someone saying "do this bicep exercise for blah blah." Lmao, we will learn the why and the how. My primary goal for fitness is steady strength increase & endurance increase. I am healing my calf from a running injury as well. I'd like to cycle a century when the weather is a bit nicer. With that, my current movements are: weight lifting, cycling, & running! One thing I am excited about is just building this community and getting to know each of you!!! Happy Monday!!!

Alright fam, we've got 2 weeks until 2026. I want to know, from EACH of you- what is ONE thing you are leaving behind in 2025 and ONE thing you are taking with you into the new year? The thing I am leaving behind in 2025 is letting my impatience run the show 😂. I think a lot of that is influenced by the culture we live in, but realistically, anything good or worth doing/changing is going to take some time. So, I would like to take with me 'enjoyment of the process/journey' with every part of my life! What about you? -Coach Em
