Our Pride in Sport program aims to provide a safe place for LGBTQIA+ identifying people to participate in sport.
We believe all people have the right to freely participate in recreation, fitness, and sport, and benefit from the wellness it brings. As the first University to be a signatory to the ACON’s Pride in Sport Program, we are currently working to implement inclusive practices to ensure the safe and equal inclusion of LGBTQIA+ identifying people.
Queer Friendly Gym Nights at LSF
The gym sessions are for people of all abilities, free from transphobia and homophobia, in the company of your fellow queers.\
Whether you’re brand new, just trying to get your 30 minutes a week in, or have a regular gym attendance we have you covered.
Our Queer Friendly Gym Nights are run at Lincoln Square Fitness Centre (183 Bouverie Street, Carlton) and provide an inclusive and fun environment for UoM Students/staff, community and Allies to engage with fitness and exercise.
Registration: Not required, walk-ins welcome, please see reception on arrival.
Day and time: Fridays 5.15pm - 8:00pm
Location: Lincoln Square Fitness 183 Bouverie Street, Carlton\
