More info & tickets

We're throwing a birthday bash and you're invited!

QUEER GYM turns 5! Together, sweaty, soft and strong.

Five years of out-of-breath smiles, safer space, finding our own way of working out and a community that lifts each other up (literally).

Come celebrate five years of building strength, community, and queer joy together!

Whether you've been practicing pilates with Lorenzo, boxed with Rosa, and lifted heavy with Alex, or have never been to our West or South locations at all, you are welcome!

PROGRAM

Not all activities have been finalized yet, but here’s a preview of what’s definitely on the agenda:

QUEER BIRTHDAY BAKE-OFF

It’s your birthday, treat everyone to cake! We’d love to do this with all the queer bakers in our community. Showcase your creation as dessert after a communal meal! A secret ingredient will be revealed after you sign up. The maker of the tastiest and most fun cake will be crowned “Cakelete of the Year.”

QUEERLEADING

Following the resounding success of Edwin’s workshop at the Dokhuis, you’ll have another chance to bring out your inner cheerleader and cheer and dance while waving your pom-poms.

QUEER BODYBUILD PHOTOSHOOT AT THE GALLERY

Work with our star, Cain, to find your best pose and have it captured on camera by top photographer Joel. The framed photos will be displayed in a prominent spot in the gym and for you to keep!

Beyond the Binary Talent Show (open to all)

Playback, perform, or use your voice to write a poem, joke, impression, or spoken-word piece about your experience and shine on stage! You can create something on the spot with some coaching, or bring something you’ve prepared.

MERCH MAKING

Have you always wanted to spice up your workout or party outfit with the Queer Gym logo, the symbol of your favorite team, or customize your clothes in some other way? Bring an item and collaborate with artist and Queer Gymmer Tiemen!

No Straight Answers - PUB QUIZ

How much do you know about queer artists and their work? Superhost Rory is excited to take you on a journey through the wonderful world of pop at the Queer Gym pub. Teams with a funny team name will get an extra cheer from the queerleading squad!
