Everybody Lifting is a non-profit based in Phoenix, Arizona. Founded in 2024, the organization’s mission is to provide an inclusive, supportive, and equitable space where everyone–including LGBTQIA+ individuals, people of diverse body sizes, and those with disabilities–can train, compete, connect, and thrive.

The core program of Everybody Lifting is Everybody Lifting Club (ELC), an LGBTQIA+ and size-inclusive fitness club operating twice a week at a performance training facility in central Phoenix, Arizona. ELC classes are offered in a group setting, with semi-private coaching sessions that prioritize interval training, lifting heavy, and creating a strong, fabulous, and authentic community.

Everybody Lifting seeks to expand its programming in the future by offering regular scholarship opportunities for ELC athletes, hosting events, and participating in community partnerships that deepen its mission.
