Having knee pain while you squat doesn’t necessarily mean you have to avoid squats altogether. Quite the contrary, finding accessible ways to load the squat may be your path to gradually integrating how to squat with less pain. Of course, some cases require treatment from a physical therapist or a medical pro. So please consult your care team to explore your best options 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 #kneepain #squat #jointpain #jointhealth

☀️🌊 Last Sunday we met up on a sunny day along the water for a Rad Fit BBQ and hangout! 💕 Thank you to everyone who came out! We saw familiar & new faces, we had family members and many helping hands…it was beautiful to be in community and enjoy the afternoon together. We are so grateful to Blare for planning & organizing the day and to her parents for helping out & joining us 🥲🩷. A big thank you to everyone who supported with the cooking & those brought something to share. 😋 It was a nourishing way in so many ways! It is such a gift for us to be able to come together for connection, joy, to share food, and to nourish our hearts in these times. Thanks for being part of our community these last 8+ years, we love y’all! 🙌🏽🫶🏾🙌🏿

This post is overdue, but in April (though we mark it in July because that was when we opened our doors in our first physical space) we celebrated 8 years of existence and resistance!! ❤️‍🔥🫶🏽🙌🏿👏🏾 Some of y’all have been rockin’ with us since 2018 and we are so grateful for your continued support. Radically Fit has become a third space where Black and brown, queer and Trans, fat & disabled people can build sustainable, meaningful and deep community while healing their relationships with movement and their bodies. That’s a lot to be proud of. Every year I think about how we have made it through so many obstacles and how we have come out stronger each and every time. Thank you for every single one of you who donated to our ER fundraiser. ❤️‍🩹 It helped us sustain through the summer and we have continued to grow and find ways to walk away from surviving into thriving. 🤲🏽🥲 This year was a beautiful year for me in many ways, mainly getting married to my amazing partner who has been my rock for many of the years I have navigated being a small business owner. She knows more than anyone else the gravity of running a space like Radically Fit, and I am so grateful for her support. 💐 This year I also celebrated 5 years of sobriety & recovery. Radically Fit would not exist without my recovery-it is a gift I will be forever grateful for. As we step into year 🌈 9th year, I am feeling genuinely hopeful for our mission to continue and to grow. Thank you to my team. You are all really incredibly people, and the work you do within our community and other intersecting communities is inspiring. We’ll see you in the gym, at our events, on the streets and all over the Bay! Keep coming back! Xoxoxo-Luca ✨*photoshop by nicky

❤️‍🔥Angie is leading our August Free Community Workout…get a taste of MEGAAA MUSCLES! 🌈💪🏽💪🏿💪🏾 Want to learn the essentials to building muscle and how to target muscle growth & control movements? 📣 This is the class for you! Come build muscle mass while learning the correct form to help guide you in any class you may take! Free Community Workout 🔥Mega Muscles with Angie Friday August 14th 5PM - 6PM @RadicallyFitOakland ✨link in bio to sign up now! This class is open to all levels! Bring a water bottle, a friend, and wear comfortable clothes to move in! Masks are required for our classes⚡️KN95 & surgical masks are always available for free at our front doors. Angie (she/her) believes in lifting as a practice of loving herself. ❤️Lifting is important to Angie as a practice of conscious bodily autonomy. Building power has taught her to take care of her body and belong in it. Angie first realized she wanted to begin taking HRT after a heavy deadlift set, and since then, has known that queer and trans people should lift. Angie believes everyone should have access to sport, and wants to build connections with people who are also excited about bringing athletic training to everyone. Her inspirations include Megan thee Stallion, Tupac, Yukio Mishima, Gerald Horne interviews, strippers, the physical culture organizations of early 20th century socialists, and the trans girls who are always the ones on the frontlines of the riot and organizing your local rave. Angie demands transgender liberation in athletics, and further research and study of the experiences of transgender athletes. ⚽️🏀🏐🏋🏾‍♂️🏋🏾‍♀️
