12 WEEKS
Donation protected
12 weeks is a fundraiser that offers personal training to 5* black, trans, non-binary queer cuties, coached by me.
My name is Sheldon Amosu (they/them) and I am a Jamaican-Nigerian non-binary personal trainer based in London who’s goal is to coach quality movement and quality time with the body we have.
I have been personal training and group training for 2 years and have been training myself since 2015. I started training alone at home as a safe and accessible way to help with my mental health, before making steps to work at conventional gyms and become a fully qualified coach.
When I made a start in my career it struck me that there was a clear underrepresentation and dismissal of black queer people in the wellness industry- in every gym, class, and online space. Going to conventional gyms often complicated the process of embracing myself as a black queer person in some negative and unnecessary ways.
Colorism, transphobia fatphobia, and homophobia are the oppressive systems in the industry that actively prevent black queer intersections to be visible, considered, encouraged, or cared for. After co-founding Queer Circuits - a fitness class that centres LGBTQI+ folx in September 2019, I decided that I want to do more to create an intentionally black and queer space.
This fundraiser is reaching out to the community, friends, and chosen family to help raise £6600 to fund up to 5 people to receive 3 months' worth of free one-to-one personal training.
£1320 will cover 12 weeks of one to one training, programming, and weekly coach support for 1 person.
£2640 will cover 12 weeks of one to one training, programming, and weekly coach support for 2 people.
£3960 will cover 12 weeks of one to one training, programming, and weekly coach support for 3 people.
£5280 will cover 12 weeks of one to one training, programming, and weekly coach support for 4 people.
£6600 will cover 12 weeks of one to one training, programming, and weekly coach support for 5 people.
I aim for 12 weeks to give 5 individuals the chance to work 1-1 with me, with the potential to expand and roll out to as many people as possible in the future.
By you contributing, you will be able to properly pay the time and labor needed to deliver individualized programming to support a black trans non-binary cutie all while supporting a black queer non-binary trainer, me! I aspire to be more of the affirming and motivating coach I wanted to see.
