About Us
Have you ever seen a cat or dog get the zoomies? My cat loves to tear through the house at full speed, ears pulled back, gripping the carpet with her claws. She’s not training for a race or trying to intentionally burn calories. She’s moving because it’s fun and it feels good. This is the foundation of Gremlin Mode Movement. My partner and I call our cat’s bursts of energy her “gremlin mode.” And this is what we want most for our clients. To be able to experience movement without “shoulds” or expectations. To tap into the feeling of being a kid on a playground. To find freedom in movement to express, experiment, and exist in their bodies as they are.
Gremlin Mode Movement is a space for people to explore intentional movement and exercise in an environment that is fun-focused and supportive. Gremlin Mode Movement was created for anyone who feels out of place in traditional fitness spaces, especially individuals with larger bodies. Gremlin Mode Movement is a fat-positive space that actively rejects weight stigma, anti-fat bias, and diet culture. All personal trainers and group fitness instructors have specialized training in size-inclusive and accessible movement instruction. Gremlin Mode Movement also takes special care to create a welcoming space for the queer, neurodiverse, and other minority communities.
