Community is what makes Four Elements Fitness special.
Everyone who has spent time at Four Elements Fitness knows it's not your typical gym. With its majority female and LGBTQ+ students and instructors, Four Elements makes a point to serve those who may not have felt included at other martial arts schools.
This summer, Four Elements will be reopening under the management of Tuff Love Fitness, a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit created by Four Elements instructors and students (including Mollii Khangsengsing and Karin Spirn) that provides free and discounted self-defense, martial arts and fitness training to underserved groups. As a nonprofit, we can build on the traditions that make Four Elements such a unique and special place to train, such as:
- Free and low-cost training opportunities for women, LGBTQ+ students, people of color, kids, and other groups who may lack access to martial arts, self-defense, and fitness instruction.
- Small class sizes offering high-quality, personalized feedback
- Instruction that is body-positive, gender inclusive, and attuned to social justice
You can make our reopening a success! Your tax-deductible donation will fund our lease renewal, Covid-19 safety measures, and other reopening expenses. All funds raised will go directly to Four Elements Fitness. With your help, Four Elements can continue to grow as not just a place to train, but a community resource for all who need it.
