  These trainers have Instagram accounts, and while you should definitely follow them, streaming or purchasing their workouts and ebooks is an even better way to show your support. Trainers receive either direct payment or revenue from ads on their videos. (Just make sure you have your ad blocker turned off.)

 Alongside supporting trainers through their programs and social media accounts, it's important that you practice small steps toward making the gym a more welcoming space. For example, getting comfortable asking fellow gym-goers their preferred pronouns can go a long way in helping make the fitness community a more inclusive environment.

Advertisement Actively seeking out and supporting a variety of fitness platforms is one way Parker encourages others to help transform the fitness industry. “Mainstream fitness culture as promoted on IG is not diverse or inclusive, and it’s reserved solely for conventionally attractive, thin, young, able-bodied, heterosexual people,” he says. “It promotes images of white normative beauty and insidiously dismisses anyone who dares to carry an identity beyond this standard and participate in fitness.”

All money from shirt and e-book sales supports people who are gender diverse and experiencing houselessness. The Transmasculine Training Series also includes guide for anyone who identifies with masculine aesthetics. Once you download them, you can customize the workouts to your needs and goals.
