This week, I sat down with Kyle Fairall, founder of Queerflex, Canada’s first non-profit gym centred on creating safer space for LGBTQIA2S+ folks in the fitness world through personal training, public education and direct advocacy. We had a great conversation about so many things, from building - and sometimes demanding - space for the queer community to the importance of asking someone's pronouns to how to sustainably run a non-profit and beyond.  Listen to our chat here: You can also tune in and subscribe on iTunes and Google Play!  All photography by Andrea Beça.
