June 8 Updates: Holyoke Pride 5k, Pride Workout, Summer Social
Happy Pride Month, y’all! It is a hell of a time to be alive and queer, but here we are - in it all together.
Upcoming Events
Strength Training Foundations and Powerlifting 101 summer sessions start the week of June 22. Registration is LIVE at TransFitWMA.com/upcoming-events
Holyoke Pride Rainbow Run 5k is THIS SATURDAY, June 12. We have a group of four folks who have trained up for this over the past couple months and are ready to roll! I’m inviting everyone who’s a part of the TransFitWMA community - whether you trained in the Couch to 5K group or on your own - to take a group picture with the Transformation Fitness WMA banner before the race; we’ll meet outside the Elks Lodge (where parking and bib pick-up is) at 9:30am and then do a group warm-up walk and stretch together. If you have any trouble finding us, text or call me at 413-268-4954.
TransFitWMA Community Social. Sunday, July 12. 2-5pm. Muse Cider Bar, 16 Walpole Road, Haydenville. Bring a chair, bring a friend. If you’re on my mailing list, in my orbit, or a past/present/future client - you’re invited! Let’s come together to have some sweet social time outside of class. FREE. Beverages available for purchase.
Pride Workout. Date/Time/Location TBD, but sometime toward the end of June or early July. Keep an eye out for details in the next week or so, but start practicing lunges, jump rope and burpees! Or just come out to learn about those movements and watch other people do them, then socialize and eat some good food. FREE. All are welcome.
Promotions

Folks Worth Checking Out
Podge Thomas is a queer, neurodivergent, multiracial creative entrepreneur who teaches people how to reclaim their curiosity and leverage Notion to build intuitive and supportive systems - and she’s my neighbor and close friend! I recently took her “The Intention Tracker” Workshop and it honestly may fix me (or at least help me keep track of all the things I’m excited about doing with y’all in the coming year). I’m taking her “Automate Your Launch” program next, and she is also enrolling for “Notion Summer Camp”. Check it out here.
The International Association of Trans Bodybuilders and Powerlifters (IATBP) was created in 2019 as a way for trans, non-binary and gender diverse folks to be able to compete without the usual gendered and drug testing constraints of other powerlifting and powerlifting associations. They feature trans, non-binary and gender diverse athletes on their Instagram (@iatbp.official) and have meets scheduled in Minneapolis, San Francisco, and Atlanta this year.
