Queer Gym

About

Queer Gym is a gym in Overschie built for queer people, and the coaching team is queer throughout. It calls itself the first Dutch gym aimed at queer and non-binary people.

The programme is group classes, strength training, boxing, pilates and personal training. The gym is explicit that you do not need to be thin, able-bodied or already strong to train there, and it works to a published code of conduct.

There is a second site, Queer Gym Zuid in Charlois, in a primary school gymnasium with a small personal training studio attached. One membership covers both.

Alongside the training it runs community events in the gym, from craft afternoons to consent workshops and sexual health sessions with the city health service.
