About Us

Some of our past beneficiaries include RVA Community Fridges, Equality Virginia, Pride Liberation Project, He She Ze & We, and RRFP.
"It’s really meaningful to create positive movement-based experiences that provide an inclusive approach to physical competitions and events."

A Note From The CEO & Founder
This organization started as a monthly meet-up group for humans to learn how to lift in a safe, inclusive environment. I’m just amazed by how this group has evolved into what it is today. Our mission and purpose is to bring the strength community of Richmond together, create a supportive and fun environment, and to give back to our community. This could not be possible without all of the hard-working directors, members, and volunteers.
My vision for this group is continue expanding organically. We are committed to creating a welcoming and safe space for all bodies to be in full expression of themselves. We will provide a space that promotes mental and physical growth. We will continue to listen to the needs of our community and hold space for feedback.
