Action Plans
Our Action Plans are working documents that guide our business to better embody our mission of radical inclusivity.
These action plans are created and regularly updated in response to community input, internal education and accountability processes. Our goal is for each of them to reflect clear objectives and stated deadlines. We make them publicly available here in our commitment to hold ourselves accountable to our community members.
As we grow, we continue to identify improvements that we can make to better serve our disabled members. We will continue to implement changes on a regular basis, many of which are outlined in this document. This action plan also lays out changes that need to happen which require a significant budget.
Accessibility
The Anti-racist Business Pledge and Action Plan is a working document developed in response to our awareness of the need for ongoing accountability throughout our organization and naming our commitment to dismantling white supremacy. These are notes from the Small Business Reimagined Townhall, hosted by Erika Hines, Rachel Rogers, Susan Hyatt, Robert Hartwell, Sonya Renee Taylor and Nathan Barry. This document engages with the Anti-racist Small Business Pledge that EVERYBODY has signed onto, and includes a Land Acknowledgement.

You might notice our staff stating their preferred pronouns (she/her/hers, he/him/his, they/them/theirs) while in conversation. We also encourage our staff to use gender neutral terminology in class. We do not make assumptions around gender identity and instead try to model inclusive language for the benefit of everyone.

EVERYBODY strives to be accessible at every level. We are currently developing adaptive programming to meet the varied needs of our membership. This includes asking if our clients have access needs, providing choices and modifications in the classroom and using thoughtful, service driven language. Please visit our accessibility page to learn more about the physical space.

As part of our mission of creating a radically inclusive environment, EVERYBODY identifies as a “Body Positive” health and wellness space. What do we mean by “body positive?” When people walk through our front doors, we make only one assumption about them and it has NOTHING to do with weight-loss.
We assume our members are here TO FEEL BETTER IN THEIR BODY, no matter what size they are, how old they are, their ability, or how physically “fit” they may appear or feel.

The health and safety of our staff and members remains our top priority.
Since 2020, we continue to closely follow city, state and national covid 19 safety guidelines. We ask each of our community members to adhere to these best practices. Do not enter the space if you are sick. We encourage you to wear a mask to protect yourself and others. We provide anti-viral cleaning products to use while you are working out to ensure your safety and the safety of others. We encourage everyone to stay up to date on vaccinations and boosters. Anyone who is visibly sick will be asked to leave.
