Yes, there is food to buy, and yes, you can buy it even after the shelter-in-place orders take effect across much of the Bay Area. https://t.co/LRPnMgEIkz
We're a Latina-owned #BayArea gym. Due to the "shelter in place" order, we're moving all our in-person classes to online.
We're resilient! We're going to get creative & use technology to keep serving our queer community. @LibbySchaaf@Oakland@sfchronicle@kron4news#coronavirus
We're saddened to share that our gym was vandalized last night. We hope these images raise awareness about the important need to create and PROTECT safe spaces for the queer community. Spread love today.

Had the lovely opportunity to meet and chat with Nathalia Huerta the other day who owns and operates the @thequeergym located in Oakland, CA.
I LOVE listening to other coaches who have gone out of their way to build strong, inclusive fitness communities.
FUN FACT: Being true to who you are and not giving a shit about what others think about you is an awesome and liberating thing whether you are gay or not - Sometimes we the gays need to be reminded more often but, LIKE, EVERYONE SHOULD TRY IT, FOR REAL. JUST DO IT.
