🐴🧘‍♀️ GO DO SOMETHING FUN & SUPPORT LOCAL RESCUES! 💙

Our Beast family is always about community, so we wanted to share a fun opportunity happening right here in Gainesville!

Daydream Rescue Sanctuary is hosting a Yoga with Animals event on August 15th! 🐴🧘‍♀️

If you’re looking for something different to do, grab a friend, go have some fun, and support a local nonprofit while you’re at it!

Being strong isn’t just about what we do in the gym. It’s about supporting our community, trying new things, and showing up for others. ❤️

We want to take a moment to remind everyone that being allowed to record your workouts at The Beast is a privilege and a courtesy we extend to our members. We want you to be able to document your progress, celebrate your accomplishments, and share your fitness journey.

But that privilege also comes with a responsibility to be respectful of the people around you.

We also want to be clear that no member should touch or interfere with another member’s recording equipment. If you have an issue with someone recording, please bring it to management rather than touching their phone, tripod, or other equipment.

At the same time, if you are recording in a shared gym space, you are responsible for being mindful of the people who may appear in your video. Not everyone who walks into the gym has agreed to be part of someone else’s social media content. If someone appears in the background and you don’t know whether they are comfortable being posted, the respectful thing to do is crop them out, blur them, or choose another clip.

When Iron Beast opened in 2010, we had only a handful of female members. Sadly, some of those women were ostracized by the NON LIFTING community because there were people who didn’t believe women should be working out or lifting weights.

Today, 40% of our members are female. That isn’t something we take for granted. It’s something we are incredibly proud of, and it’s a testament to how far our community has come.

So let’s appreciate that progress. Let’s respect ourselves and all the women who walk through our doors.

We want The Beast to be a place where women encourage and respect one another, and feel comfortable being themselves.

We’re happy to allow recording. We just ask everyone to remember: the privilege of recording your workout comes with the responsibility to respect the people around you. AND No member should touch, move, or interfere with another member’s personal belongings or possessions without their permission.

We’ve come a long way since 2010. Let’s not lose sight of that. Let's give each other grace, and continue making The Beast a place where everyone feels welcome. That’s what community is about. ❤️💪❤️💪🏽✝️
