A Pride Event benefiting:
The Marie Equi Center & EKC Equity Fund!
June 13th
10-12
Join us for a day of celebration, sweat, and shenanigans as we raise money for the Marie Equi Center & EKC Equity Fund*!
Why did we choose the Marie Equi Center this year? This vital Southeast Portland organization serves trans, queer, intersex, and gender-diverse communities through trauma-informed care, culturally specific services, and social justice advocacy. Their programs are intentionally designed to support unhoused and low-income LGBTQIA2S+ individuals with dignity, safety, and community care.
Let’s show this local nonprofit some love by coming together to sweat, laugh, cheer each other on, and tackle some burpees for a great cause. Whether you're competing, volunteering, or just showing up to support, every bit of energy helps strengthen our community.
Costumes encouraged, especially team-themed ones!
*90% of funds raised will go directly to The Marie Equi Center. 10% will help us continue our EKC Equity Fund which allows us to provide discounted and free memberships for folks. *

About Us
Eastside Kettlebell Collective exists to center, celebrate, and defend the strength, wellness, and autonomy of shes, theys, and gays. This is a space built by and for those whose bodies, identities, and power have too often been policed, ignored, or erased in fitness culture. If these terms do not apply to you, understand whose space you are entering. Show up with humility, respect, and a commitment to collective care — because safety and liberation in movement spaces isn’t negotiable here.

I'M A NEW MEMBER WHICH CLASS SHOULD AFTER Kettlebell 101?
It depends. If you are super new to kettlebells and group fitness you may want to take a few KB 101 classes. Kettlebell 101 takes time to break down and practice the swing, clean, press, deadlift, squat, and getup movement patterns. Otherwise feel free to take any class! EKC Instructors will provide extra demos, individualized attention as needed, and space to practice new skills within the group class setting.
