Looking for Gym Recommendations
Hey everyone, long time lurker first time poster.
I’m 34 in Edmonton and I’ve been on feminizing HRT for 7 months now and the fabled brain fog is starting to lift. I’m finally getting to a place where I actually want to take care of my body after not taking care of it for years since the lockdowns. I’ve gained somewhere around 120lbs, I’m pushing 300 now, and I’m not feeling good about having a hard time bending over to pick stuff up off the floor or feeling like a beached whale whenever my partner and I try to be intimate.
Can anyone suggest a gym, preferably with personal trainers available, that is welcoming of trans folks? Preferably on the West End or Downtown since I don’t have a car right now, but I would prioritize somewhere that’s welcoming of fat butch trans women even if it’s a bit of a trek. I’ve been to a gym exactly once in my life when I was 18 so I have zero clue about what to do or how not to hurt myself.
I live nearest to the Callingwood YMCA, does anyone have any experience there?
Thanks in advance!
