Love is Love at 305 Fitness
Hey Cuties,
Last week I went out and had the time of my life doing something I haven’t done in years. Exercise! I hung out with the dope folks at 305 Fitness for their Pride event. It was a night for us all to LIVE OUT LOUD & MAKE NO APOLOGIES. ?️?
The History of Pride
The majority of Pride events are held in June to commemorate the anniversary of the Stonewall Rebellion in New York City on June 28, 1969, which most historians consider to be the birth of the modern LGBT movement. At the time, police raids on bars catering to LGBT patrons were common, but that night, the patrons of the Stonewall Inn fought back. While historical accounts of the night very, the violent response ignited a national firestorm of activism that brought new visibility to the struggle for LGBT equality.
June is unofficially recognized as Pride Month by the LGBT community, and many Pride events still occur on the last Sunday in June to commemorate the anniversary of Stonewall. In some places, Pride events stretch out over a weekend or an entire week, while in other areas, Pride events occur at different times of the year altogether (particularly in parts of the country where June is especially hot).

Every single thing about 305 Fitness lets me know they are my kind of people. Peep the window, they let you know before you even step one foot in the place.
They weren’t joking about the 55 cardio dance party either. It was a 55-minute twerk session that had us all sweating like crazy in the best kind of way. Our instructor Marcus Isaiah was the absolute best. He started promptly at 7:30 and he kept the same energy the entire time. I don’t know how because your girl was tired, but it was a great workout. So much so that I hit my Fitbit step goal while in class. I respect a workout for a cause honey. 305 Fitness will be donating proceeds throughout the month of June to the Miley Cyrus’ Happy Hippie Foundation, specifically, their programs benefiting LGBTQ youth.
How cute are the bathroom doors?
They have a ton of affirmations all on the wall. Just in case you need to be reminded of your dopeness. Also, their entire facility is cute, it is one Instagram photo-op after another. The icing on the cake is that it is inclusive.
Before we went inside The Style Medic and I snapped a few pictures in the street. I ordered this shirt from Target and immediately cut it up before walking out of the house for this event.
Do you have any Pride plans this month? Chat with me in the comment below or FB, IG or Twitter.
None for me but I support them and I make sure I share the changes because it’s important to get their voices heard. Loving your shirt!
Yes! I feel like a threat to the rights of one is a threat to others.
Thank you for being an advocate! This is such an awesome event. I love Pride month because it’s a time to show pride in equality and support our brothers and sisters.
You are so welcome. I see human to human, and I am always supportive of that.
I love Pride Month and Nashville has gone all out and it has been amazing! Thanks for supporting!
I love that so many places are celebrating.
This event sounds like it was a blast! And your top is super cute!
Thanks! It was so much fun, the best workout ever.
Okay I can’t be the only one who is super obsessed with those unicorn inflatables?! So cute! And you looking fierce honey!
It was so cute, it took everything in me not to just jump on it for the picture. lol
Yet another fun day out! Loving all the ways the community gets support and positive play this month!
It was a lot of fun. I love to see the community rally around a cause. I hate to see people ostracized.
This sounds fun. I think I can manage a 55-minute twerk session. Or can I?
You can girl, I have faith in you. Also because I didn’t die.
Omg this place is cute. I love the outdoor signage and the affirmations I am in Mexico but they are celebrating Pride here too!
Everything about this place is cute. I love that the world is celebrating Pride this month.
Love your outfit! Very sassy. In Spain, pride month is very big. Ours in Valencia will be next weekend and l have quite a few expat friends going and some even in floats. I used to love going to the biggest one of all in West Hollywood when l lived there. Best part was my store was right on Santa Monica Blvd so we had a really bird’s eye view. I miss it. I am planning on checking out the parade here.
Oh wow, that sounds exciting. I would love to be on a float. lol
Love what you did with the shirt!
I’m glad you got back into the fitness swing of things.
Thanks! I love to give something a new look.
I’m trying to make it a way of life. I’m still working on that part.
This looked like so much fun! Your pictures show it all. How do you get to have such an advertising life!! I need to take notes.
It was a blast, I have no idea how I got so fortunate. I try to make the Universe proud.
Looks like such a fun event. No parades for me, I am in avoiding crowds mode at the moment. Still recovering from the Raptors Championship parade a few weeks ago.
I totally get it, the older I get the less I like big crowds.
Looks like you had a lot of fun and we’re dressed super cute for the occasion.
I love a good theme, it gives me a reason to go all the way in.
I looove these pictures so much. I wish I had a class like that near me I would totally go. My town had pride events that my family and I attended. We had a blast!
Nice, I love that. I will participate more, I had an amazing time.
