At PerforMotion, we pride ourselves on creating an inclusive and welcoming space. When designing this space, our founder Kelly had specific population groups in mind, including the LGBTQIA+ community and neurodivergent people.
Kelly is AuDHD, and understands first hand how hard going to a gym can be. Never quite fitting in and not really understanding the unspoken rules of the gym social culture. This caused Kelly to find it hard to fit in and subsequently didn’t enjoy going to a commercial gym. Other issues included the lights being too bright, the music too loud, and no one seemed to talk to each other? Kelly spent years searching for a gym (and a social circle) that felt like a comfortable place and never quite found it.
As an organisation,we are committed to creating safer places for neurodivergent, LGBTQIA+ & gender diverse folks through continual learning and ongoing engagement with the community.
