Yes — you can absolutely train from home. Your coach builds your program around whatever you have, whether that's a full home gym, a few dumbbells, or just bodyweight, so you can make real progress without a gym membership. Coaches can offer suggestions for equipment that are the most effective for your goals.

No, you don’t need to be on testosterone or HRT to see results! Many individuals who are not on testosterone or HRT choose to use fitness as a way to build a more gender affirming body. If you’re waiting to start testosterone or HRT in the future, lifting weights is a great way to start building muscle mass to fight dysphoria. While testosterone and HRT support muscle growth, they aren't quick fixes and require proper training and nutrition. Everyone still needs to train for the body they want.

Yes — you can absolutely train on testosterone or at any stage of HRT. In fact, being on HRT might make you more excited to start training! Our coaches tailor your program to your goals and how your body is responding, adjusting as your strength, recovery, and composition change.

Yes — chest and upper-body development is one of the most-requested trans-masc/FTM goals, and our coaches program for it directly. We build training toward a broader, stronger, more masculine upper body, scaled to your level and equipment, and adapted around top surgery if that's part of your journey.

Yes — trans-masc/FTM training is a core focus. 70% of our clients are trans masc or AFAB individuals of varying identities who want to masculinize their body. Our coaches build programs around your goals (building muscle, chest and upper-body development, masculinizing your physique, and training around or after top surgery) and adapt to where you are in your journey. While training techniques don’t differ whether you’re trans or cis, we understand that trans-masc and FTM individuals relate to their bodies and fitness very differently than cis people do. You will be in community with other clients and coaches who understand and respect your journey. You won’t need to explain yourself or shy away here.

Online coaching offers more in-depth support by focusing on comprehensive, 24/7 guidance, fostering user autonomy, and promoting adaptable, sustainable habits rather than relying on one-hour gym sessions. This approach prioritizes holistic lifestyle changes and identity-affirming community, including queer or trans-specific coaching, to address individual needs outside of traditional in-person limitations.

The onboarding process involves four steps: submitting an online application, a one-hour strategy consultation, a fitness assessment and coach matching, and a final kickoff meeting to initiate the program. This streamlined approach ensures participants are matched with a queer or trans coach to develop personalized, actionable goals.

In most cases, yes — your coach adapts the program around injuries or chronic conditions like hyper mobility, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, and arthritis.
