Our workshop and training offers are tailored to individual needs and provide practical alternatives for TIN people with different fitness levels and experiences.

Fitness (Practice)
Empowerment through inclusive fitness and self-confidence are central pillars of our project. In traditional gyms, many people from the TIN community face barriers to fitness training (e.g., binary spaces and mindsets). Our approach goes beyond targeted workshops and enables inclusive use of fitness spaces to create an environment where TIN individuals feel empowered to strengthen their bodies in their own way.
At the same time, TIN people deserve the right to feel comfortable in their bodies and confidently take care of their health. By providing personalised training plans, workshops, and a supportive community, our project aims to enhance the self-confidence and self-efficacy of participants. The focus is not only on achieving quick fitness for emergencies and building muscle without overloading the body but also on stabilization and well-being through suitable exercise and a holistic approach.

Our fitness workshops are designed as a safe, accessible, and affirming space for trans, intersex, and non-binary people who wish to strengthen their relationship with their bodies through movement, knowledge, and professional guidance that is sensitive to TIN realities.
The workshops combine (a bit) theory and practice so that each person can gain confidence in movement, develop body awareness and trust, acquire tools to train independently, and find a routine that respects their timing, limits, and personal goals.
Throughout the year, we offer different types of workshops, ranging from introductory fitness formats for beginners to individual planning sessions and specialized workshops that address specific needs within the TIN community.
More than fitness classes, these workshops are spaces for collective learning, body empowerment, and mutual care, where physical and emotional well-being are approached in an integrated and respectful way.

Health through fitness during transition
Facilitators
Niklas and Noah
Level
Open to all levels
On Wednesdays, we offer a special fitness program aimed at promoting health during transition, providing targeted support to individuals in various stages of their gender identity development. Our focus is particularly on fitness, integrating health aspects during transition surgeries to offer directed support for this significant life phase of TIN individuals.
Our approach, centred on empowerment through agency, is the core of these offerings. We address questions such as: “How can exercise contribute to my well-being, and how do I overcome my personal challenges?” Our goal is to strengthen each individual’s self-efficacy through concrete actions, thereby promoting a holistic approach to well-being during transition.” Are you planning gender-affirming surgery and want to prepare your body well?” In this course, we perform movements, stretches, fitness, and breathing exercises to provide support. This promotes circulation and loosens fascial tissue, which is also beneficial for the healing process after surgery. Other important aspects such as scar care and nutrition will also be covered in the course.
The Training is divided into blocks. Each block has generally between 12 and 15 sessions. No previous experience is necessary and all fitness levels are welcome.

Prep your body for top surgery
TRAINING
Register to an offer
Make sure you select the date corresponding to the offer you are registering to.
Are you preparing for your top surgery and want to get your body ready? Regular exercise is particularly beneficial as it promotes circulation and makes the healing process easier later on. And because it’s often easier to stay motivated in a group than alone, we’re offering this course.
Together, we’ll do specific exercises to support mobility in the chest area, strengthen your muscles, and improve your overall fitness. The exercises are designed so that you can take a movement routine with you into your daily life. There will also be time to get to know each other, ask questions, and share experiences.
You’re welcome to participate even if your top surgery isn’t planned yet but you’re interested in the exercises and the group. What your body learns now, it can recall at a later time!
The course is open to everyone, and no prior physical fitness is required.

Improve the connection to your body with strength, relaxation, and mindfulness. In this course we will use playful elements, mindfulness and strengthening exercises to give you space to explore your own body, strengthen it and experience it (in a new way).
Whether in transition, around an operation, or just like that – this course is for all TIN people who are interested in conscious movement, fitness, and body awareness. Feeling our own body can be a challenge and a desire at the same time. Approaching this together in a group and through exercise can make the whole thing easier. Conscious movement and breathing address our parasympathetic nervous system and support a feeling of more connection and calm in the body.
We will do exercises and movements together that train coordination, support body awareness, loosen the fascia, and strengthen the muscles. We’ will show you how you can support this through breathing and with your awareness. You will do many exercises using your own body weight. For some, we will use small aids such as tennis balls, bars, or resistance bands. In addition to individual exercises, the training will also have activities in pairs and small groups, so a familiar framework is important to us.
New participants can join on the start dates of each course. The upcoming start dates are: 19 March, 30 April, and 04 June. We kindly ask that you attend regularly.

Fitness, nutrition, and well-being
Physical well-being is the foundation and goal for fitness, conditioning, muscle building, and regular training. In addition to enjoying sports, it is also about achieving long-term success and changes without harming the body. Depending on the type of sport, life circumstances, or physical and emotional baseline, the body requires different nutrients, energy, and goals.
During phases of transition, preparation and recovery from surgery, hormone therapy, hormonal fluctuations due to the menstrual cycle, or times of crisis, we need more specific and individually tailored goals for training and nutrition. Not only beginners can find new fitness and sports exercises to be an additional challenge and change, and it is sometimes not easy to determine the best way to start (or restart).
Our workshop series on fitness and physical well-being also includes well-informed nutrition options as well as practical and simple suggestions for implementation in special life situations. We aim to share knowledge with our participants to provide them with the best possible conditions on their journey to individual fitness.

Liver and hormone metabolism
Fitness and nutrition during hormonal transition
WORKSHOP
Facilitator
Noa
Register to an offer
Make sure you select the date corresponding to the offer you are registering to.
This workshop is only for trans and non-binary people who are taking hormones for the purpose of transition (e.g. testosterone, oestrogen, progesterone, hormone blockers).
When registering, please write in your Email, what kind of hormones you take and how (e.g. 3-monthly injection, cyclical, gel, pills…) so that it can be taken into account for the workshop and the composition of the participants. These informations will be treated confidential.
What is the Workshop about?
Our liver has a lot to do every day: detoxification, the formation of proteins or the activation of hormones are just a few examples. It is also part of the digestive system and influences the cardiovascular system. When we add hormones from outside, it means extra work for the liver. Sometimes this is reflected in altered liver, protein or nutrient levels in the blood or urine.
In this workshop you will learn about the interaction between liver and gut, how the liver is connected to hormones and how/why we can support it during the hormonal transition with specific nutritions, reduce of (mental) stress and relaxation exercises.
This is NOT about: medical advice, evaluation of your food preferences, body norms, diets.
