Workout like FLINTA*

Workout like FLINTA* is a sport-based intervention taking place in workout parks across Berlin. We exercise together, support each other and share sport practices.

WHY DO WE ORGANIZE WORKOUTS FOR FLINTA*?
Workout spaces are often dominated by cis men and teenage boys who can act as gatekeepers. Being the only FLINTA* person in a space like this can cause discomfort if men take up space, stare or make unwanted comments.
We want to change this experience and encourage FLINTA* to train with the support of the community. By training as a group, we feel less intimidated by calisthenic parks.

PRINCIPLES
We believe that every body is worthy of love and care - there is nothing wrong with our bodies and there is no such thing as
"not fit enough" to do sport or exercise. We do not pursue beauty standards or perfection; our aim is just to exercise our right to do sport in public spaces and enjoy movement together.
We do not tolerate any kind of discrimination - sexism, racism, fatphobia, transphobia, homophobia, ableism, ageism.

WHO CAN JOIN?
We welcome people who self identify as FLINTA* - women, lesbians, intersex, non-binary, trans, agender people and other gender-nonconforming identities - to join our space. We do not police anyone's gender and encourage allies to be mindful and give space to FLINTA* folks.
You can be experienced in training or trying it for the first time. We welcome every FLINTA* person regardless of your sport experiences.

We meet every weekend in one of the open public workout parks in Berlin. We do not conduct guided training sessions.
We do it to facilitate a safer space for each other.
