PRIDE in MOTION
Celebrating 15 years of impact. Powering what comes next.
For 15 years, The OUT Foundation has been building a world where LGBTQ+ people can move, heal, connect, and belong. What started as a vision has grown into a global community—activating gyms, empowering athletes, and transforming fitness spaces through initiatives like Infiltrate With Love.
Today, OUT's work is at risk. After losing critical funding support, OUT urgently needs community support to sustain our programs and protect the spaces LGBTQ+ people rely on.Not only that but, across the U.S. and beyond, LGBTQ+ people—especially transgender and nonbinary individuals—continue to face increasing barriers to participation in fitness and sport. Many still don’t feel safe walking into a gym. Visibility alone is no longer enough. Our community needs intentional spaces, real support, and leaders willing to step up.
Pride in Motion is our response—and our call to action.From May through September, we’re bringing together athletes, coaches, gyms, and communities to turn Pride into movement. Through workouts, fundraising events, and community activations, we’re not just showing up—we’re building safer, stronger, more inclusive fitness spaces from the inside out.Through this campaign, we are not just showing up—we are transforming fitness culture from the inside out.Participating gyms have the opportunity to be featured on our Inclusive Fitness Finder, a global directory of affirming fitness spaces, by reaching a fundraising goal and completing the OUTAIM (OUTAthletics Inclusion Movement) Assessment—a tool designed to help spaces become more inclusive, welcoming, and community-driven.This is your opportunity to lead, to stand visibly with your community, and to be part of a movement that is building safer, stronger spaces for LGBTQ+ people—year-round.It is a powerful moment to stand with OUT, to help close an urgent funding gap, sustain OUT’s work, and ensure LGBTQ+ people continue to have the spaces, support, and connection they deserve.This Pride, we’re asking you to move with purpose. To show up for each other.
Because when we move together, we build something stronger. We are unstoppable.Move with Purpose. Give with Impact.
Join us. Host an event. Sweat for a cause.

OUR 2026 CAMPAIGN
2026 is proving to be a defining and demanding year, not only for our LGBTQ+ community, but also for the OUT Family.According to the ACLU, over 500 anti-LGBTQ+ bills have been introduced across the U.S. in recent legislative cycles, with 100+ bills specifically targeting participation in sports—disproportionately impacting transgender and nonbinary athletes. These policies are not just headlines—they are actively limiting access, safety, and belonging in spaces meant to support our health and wellbeing.Globally, the landscape is shifting as well. The International Olympic Committee recently announced policies introducing genetic sex testing and effectively banning transgender women from competing in women’s categories—raising serious concerns from human rights organizations about privacy, dignity, and inclusion.At the same time, OUT is facing a critical funding gap.
This is why Pride 2026 matters so deeply.This is not just a moment to celebrate Pride. It is a moment to act.
This Pride season, we’re asking our community to show up, take up space, remind everyone that Fitness is for everybody, and #SweatforaCause with OUT.Because when policies try to push us out, we come together and build spaces where we belong.You can be part of this movement: by donating, getting a shirt, starting a fundraiser, sharing this with a friend, or hosting an event in your community.Our core programs—OUTAthlete, OUTAIM, and OUTHealth—exist because of partners and supporters like you. And right now, your support is not just meaningful—it’s essential.Let’s show up. Let’s move together. Let’s make it clear: we belong here.
