Meet our new coach, Kaitlin Bagley from Duluth, originally hailing from Alaska! 👏

Please welcome Kaitlin in the comments and read about them below 👇

🌈 Kaitlin, who goes by she/they pronouns, is a passionate fitness enthusiast with a lifelong athletic journey!

🌈 From trying every sport as a kid to settling on softball 🥎 , Kaitlin found her love for lifting heavy things during her college softball years. Unlike traditional fitness approaches, she was introduced to a perspective not centered on weight loss, making a significant impact on her.

🌈 As a coach, Kaitlin finds joy in guiding people through movements, witnessing those "aha" moments, and helping build skills and confidence.

Outside the gym, she's a trombonist, tap dancer, avid reader, dog walker, and TV enthusiast. 🎼📚

Fun fact: Kaitlin was once a marathon runner, completing two marathons and several half-marathons!!

Proudly identifying as a white, q***r fatty, Kaitlin advocates for enjoyable, affirming movement for everyone. 🏋🏋

we're super excited to have her coaching expertise at Solcana! 👏

AMAZING news below 👇‼️🎉

New BBF class times have been added! 💪🏾💪🏿💪🏼

Never attended a BBF class before? No worries, here’s what you should know:

⭐️ Big Body Fitness (BBF) is an affinity group fitness class designed explicitly for fat-bodied people at all athletic levels.

⭐️ Programming at BBF features exercises designed to meet the needs of fat people, that range from functional fitness to strength training.

⭐️ This affinity class is not only about fitness, it’s about building a community where fat people can meet in a safe space!

⭐️ BBF has limited capacity, so please respect this space and join only if you are currently living in a fat body (size 16 and above).

We welcome small fat, mid-fat, large fat, and infini-fat 🌈

Classes will begin tomorrow!! for M/W evenings at 7:30 pm🔥🔥

The format will be the same, but the programming will be different from Tues/Thurs/Sun so you could potentially go to BBF 5 times per week and get 5 totally different workouts! 🤗🤯

BBF classes have been full with a waitlist so we are hoping this evening slot offers more choices for Fat athletes and we can keep expanding our community!

Learn more about BBF in this blog post: https://www.solcanafitness.com/blog/b/what-is-big-body-fitness or go to the link in our bio ✨
