Hardcore Homo Academy
HEY HOMIESEXUALS! This is Coach Nat and I'm the founder and owner of The Queer Gym. Going to regular gyms made me feel unwelcome, uncomfortable and in some cases, unsafe, just because I was queer. After searching for a gym that would actually make me feel safe and comfortable and coming up empty handed, I said FUCK IT! And in 2010, I decided to open up the first queer gym in the Nation, The Queer Gym in Oakland, Ca. We celebrated our 10 year anniversary this year, And due to COVID, we've transitioned 100% online. We know the idea of an "online gym" is new. That’s why we're offering you the HARD CORE HOMO ACADEMY so you can try it out. 100% QUEER AF! 100% ONLINE AF
