Action Potential Fitness

Today, community leader of issued an important statement calling attention to the ways Albertan 2SLGBTQIA+ organizations have failed to fully acknowledge, support, and amplify Black History Month.

We recognize that while we shared content highlighting Black creators and contributed financially to related causes, these efforts - though well-intentioned - were not enough.

They did not go far enough in meaningfully centering Black experiences within our community, nor did they adequately reflect our responsibility to actively confront and dismantle anti-Blackness within our own organization and in the broader spaces we influence.

We hear this call to action.

We acknowledge that insufficient action is not neutral - it reflects internalized anti-Blackness and complacency.

And we take responsibility.

Moving forward, our commitment is not to a moment, but to sustained change.

We commit to:

• Engaging in ongoing anti-racism education and organizational reflection, including examining policies, leadership structures, and decision-making processes.

• Building reciprocal relationships with Black-led organizations and leaders, including Raricanow, not only during Black History Month, but year-round.

• Creating space for Black voices, stories, and leadership within our programming and community initiatives.

• Allocating resources - time, funding, and platform - in ways that reflect our stated values of equity and justice.

• Use privilege to disrupt by calling out racist behavior in our communities, using various media platforms and social circle.

• A commitment to confronting anti-black racism through education, sensitization and being active bystanders to intervene when they witness Anti-Black Racism in the Q***r communities.

• Reporting back transparently on the steps we take and the progress we make.

We understand that accountability is demonstrated through action, not statements.

We will continue to listen, learn, and do better.

Black Lives Matter.
Black voices are essential to 2SLGTBQIA+ liberation.

🚨 WAITLISTED? HERE’S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW 🚨

Our classes are routinely selling out - which is amazing 🧡 and also means we need to tighten up how registrations are handled to keep things safe, fair, and smooth for everyone.

Please read carefully:

✔️ All participants must be registered in the app

👟 Walk-ins can’t be accommodated once a class is full.

⏰ Registration cut-off = 3 hours before class. Registrations after this window must be arranged by email (availability not guaranteed).

⚠️ Late cancellations (within 3 hours of class) may be subject to cancellation penalties. This helps ensure spots aren’t held that others could use.

#️⃣ Class size caps are non-negotiable for safety reasons. We can’t make exceptions without explicit permission from the owners.

📲 Waitlist process: If you’re on the waitlist, you’ll be contacted up to 1 hour before class if a spot opens.

We truly appreciate how much you show up for these classes - and these policies help us keep the space safe, accessible, and well-run for everyone who walks through our doors.

Thank you for helping us do this well 🧡
