Breaking the Mold in Alberta: A Gym Leading the Way in Inclusivity

This is Action Potential Fitness, a gym located in Edmonton that is dedicated to inclusivity and diversity. Co-owner Toni Harris is a non-binary trans masculine human who saw a lack of safe spaces for the queer and trans community, as well as issues with disability and racial diversity in traditional fitness spaces. This inspired Toni Harris and Zita Dube-Lockhart to create Action Potential Fitness , a gym where everyone is welcome and fitness is for everybody.
