Cmmn Grnd, a pillar of inclusive fitness, is closing – The Georgia Straight

Fitness Comments Off on Cmmn Grnd, a pillar of inclusive fitness, is closing – The Georgia Straight

There is no shortage of places to exercise in Vancouver, but there is definitely a shortage of truly safe, inclusive places to do so. And soon well have one less.

Olympic Village fitness studio Cmmn Grnd announced today that it is closing down on March 28.

Despite pouring our souls into this endeavour, we must acknowledge the reality that we haven't reached a sustainable state where our business could thrive while also repaying the debts incurred during our tumultuous initiation amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Cmmn Grnd posted in an Instagram statement. To our incredible community, words cannot express the depth of our appreciation for your unwavering support and belief in our mission.

Cmmn Grnd practises radical inclusivity in every aspect of its workout offerings. Sure, they have spin classes and yoga classes, like every other gym in the city. But from their diverse instructors and staff, to their programming, to the very way they speak about fitness and movement in their classes and marketing materials, the studio has been doing things refreshingly different.

With the pillars of social wellness, body neutrality, and gender neutrality guiding the vision, Cmmn Grnd promotes the idea that movement is for everyonenot just fitspo models with six-packs. It makes exercise about feeling good and giving back to your body, not about punishing yourself.It takes the fear out of exercise studios, which are so often intimidating spaces in this city, and brings back the joy.

Which is all to say: this one hurts.

Those who want to show support for Cmmn Grnd can still attend classes until the 28; drop-in and five-class passes are available for 20 per cent off.

Cmmn Grnd is located at 121 West 2nd Avenue.
