Han Training is Northalsted’s queer- and trans-affirming strength sanctuary. We specialize in trauma-informed, body-neutral coaching delivered in ultra-small groups focused on mobility, functional strength, and liberation-focused powerlifting.
Founded by Minky (they/them) out of their lived experience as a QTPOC immigrant with disabilities, our gym was built to dismantling systemic oppression through fitness. We exist to provide a safe haven where LGBTQ+, BIPOC, and disabled people can reclaim joyous strength on their own terms.
Beyond the barbell, we’ve hosted trans clothing swaps, self-defense workshops for sex workers, and community events that build safety and solidarity. We proudly center our most marginalized community members and warmly welcome allies who are committed to training in solidarity.
