About Us
Our Mission
We believe that strength is about more than just what you can lift. We’re committed to safety, to the resilience of the 2SLGBTQ+ community, and to anyone who’s ever felt excluded from fitness culture to have a place to shine brightly and express themselves authentically.
Our Story
Witness the Fitness (WTF) was founded by Jenn Farrell in 2011 as an independent personal training business. Her conversations with clients revealed a fitness industry that often left people feeling judged, unseen, or unwelcome. In 2020, Witness the Fitness opened its first location, and what began as a small, one-woman gym has grown into a thriving, inclusive space with several dedicated team members and a vibrant community of clients, friends, and chosen family.
We’re proudly queer-owned and fat-friendly. At WTF, we reject appearance-based fitness culture and instead focus on building strength, confidence, and community—at every size, age, and ability level. We know that traditional gyms can feel intimidating or unsafe, especially for women, LGBTQIA+ folks, and anyone who doesn’t fit the narrow mold of “fitness.” That’s why we’ve created something different.
Here, you don’t need to change who you are to feel strong. Whether you've never picked up a weight, you're rediscovering your strength, or you're ready to push your training further, you’ll find a fun, encouraging, and radically welcoming environment where you truly belong.
Welcome to Witness the Fitness—where strength looks like you.
