About the gym

The Resistance Gym is An inclusive, accessible space to lift weight!

The Resistance is a trans owned gym, established in 2020. This is a barbell club style facility, in the SF East Bay Area. We are anti-fitness culture, by design and the space was curated for marginalized bodies. We acknowledge that we are on the traditional land of the Miwok, Muwekma, and Confederated Villages of Lisjan People.

We have the option to split divisions into evenly distributed subdivisions using age, weight or heights as the criteria. We will likely subdivide divisions by weight class and age if any division reaches a sufficient number of competitors.
