What we're about

We started the Sapphletic Club in the fall of 2024 because there weren't a lot of ways to make new friends outside of team sports or bar nights.

So many sapphics love lifting. We're sapphic owned, and our gym was already filled with amazing, badass queer women. It was a no brainer.

What to expect

Every Sapphletic Club event includes these elements.

  1. 1

    Icebreakers

    Meet everyone before the first rep, so nobody stands around wondering who to talk to.

  2. 2

    The workout

    All levels, every time. There are newbies at every event who have never strength trained in their lives, right alongside advanced lifters. Our coaches scale it for you.

  3. 3

    Prizes

    At the end of each workout we do a raffle and give out fun prizes.

  4. 4

    The after party

    Post-workout coffee hour to deepen the friendships and keep the fun going.
