Friends of the Gym

Friends of the Gym is a Seattle-based movement community reimagining fitness through radical inclusivity. Ollivander Lockwald founded Friends of the Gym with a committed to deconstructing traditional gym culture and create a place that centers queer bodies and marginalized identities. More than a workout facility, it’s an environment where people can authentically connect with their bodies and each other. At Friends of the Gym, fitness isn’t about conforming to external standards, but about discovering what feels good, building community, and celebrating every body’s unique journey. Come as you are—you belong here.
