About the instructors:

Alex (they/them): Alex is a lifelong kinkster and joined the Hit Me Up community in 2022. As a nontraditional athlete living in a fat, QTPOC body, they strongly believe in the power of embodied movement and kink! Alex trains and coaches from a HAES (Health At Every Size) framework, and is committed to creating accessible, affirming spaces for their clients to reach their strength, movement and training goals. Alex is a Certified NASM and TI-PT (Trauma Informed) Personal Trainer.

EJ (they/them): EJ has been a member of the Hit Me Up community since 2022. Polyamorous in love as well as fitness, they have coached and competed in a wide variety of sports over the last 15 years including Long Distance Running, CrossFit, Olympic Weightlifting, and Roller Derby. EJ has experience coaching all levels, and through this class they hope to bring their passions for kink and fitness together to help others achieve their goals in the streets as well as the sheets ;)
