What clients say
“
Nici is a thoughtful and affirming trainer that motivates with joy and humour. He is an antidote to the toxic cultures that pervade fitness spaces. I am never bored in Nici's sessions and I am consistently learning and challenging myself. Most importantly, they always take both my mental and physical health seriously when planning our sessions.
“
Nici's session on safe spaces in fitness was highly valuable. An open and thoughtful environment made it easy to engage with the topic — what stood out most was how the concept of safe spaces was connected to the real experiences of members. The session offered valuable insight into why these formats exist and the meaningful role they play in building a more inclusive training environment.

As someone who has never felt comfortable weight training in spaces where cis men were the majority, I've come to rely on FLINTA and queer classes as a safe place where I can ask questions, try new things, and generally challenge myself. Having a coach from my own community who I feel comfortable getting sweaty around completely changes the experience — it's literally made me better, faster, stronger.

What we stand for
Our values
Queer joy & pleasure
Training should feel good. We build strength and unlock more confidence, sexuality, and joy in your body. Movement is playful, serious, and unapologetically pleasurable.
No binaries
We reject gender binaries, rigid programming, and fitness dogma. Hard workouts with compassionate coaching. Evidence-based training that adapts to real, messy queer lives. We meet you where you are.
Community is everything
Hard workouts, cute crowds. We sweat together, hype each other up, and hold space for struggles and wins. Online, in-person, hybrid — you're part of the Studio Gay fam.
