Donation-based Training

Personal trainer in Austin performing a kettlebell Turkish get-up at Functional Strength ATX, showcasing mobility-focused strength training and real-world functional fitness.

Functional Strength ATX was created with a simple mission: to make strength training accessible, inclusive, and empowering for everyone. We’re rooted in Austin’s LGBTQ+ community and built on the belief that fitness should never be out of reach because of cost, background, or identity. Through a donation-based, sliding-scale model, we offer personalized training that blends mobility, strength, and resilience—meeting you exactly where you are. This isn’t just about workouts; it’s about building a community where every body is welcomed and supported.
