What Makes us Different...
Options for All Bodies
We offer affinity based classes that serve our must marginalized communities who are under-represented in fitness: such as fat fitness, Trans Strength and Black Strength.
Affordable for Everyone
We offer $120,000 in sliding scale support every single year, with a mission to serve a diverse community that represents our city. We will never turn you away for lack of funds.
Truly Inclusive
Our program is designed to serve you no matter what you struggle with. We want to transform the way you feel in a gym and help you discover that movement really can be fun and fulfilling.
Meet our Community
Britt Johnson
THEY/THEM
Britt is as kind as they are strong. Which is to say, incredibly kind. They are so much fun to have in class. They are always super supportive of other athletes and incredibly welcoming to new folks. They are an elementary school teacher and are probably the coolest teacher those kids will ever have.
They have really challenged a lot of the communities they are in to be better and do better, ours included. They push themselves really hard but are also keenly aware of when they want to slow down or need to drop the weight, whatever the day calls for. They recently deadlifted 360 lbs and that was AFTER having failed a rep and not being sure they could do more!
Sam Taitel
THEY/THEM
Sam in a nutshell: Fierce. Determined. Kind. Strong. Powerful. Encouraging. Humble.
Sam joined Solcana because they needed a place to work out and find community, especially among queer folks, in a new city after moving here from NYC. They have loved the supportive group dynamics while being able to push themself. Sam is such an inspiring athlete. They are truly an embodiment of Solcana’s values and purpose. They bring absolute fierceness and badassery – while cultivating a warm, welcoming, supportive vibe to all those around them.
