We believe movement can be a vehicle for change.
We embrace diversity and look to see beyond the preconceived notions about what fitness should look like.
We’re empowered by individuals and communities who use the influence of movement to alter the traditional conversation.
We’re the creative brain-child of Summer Sides, an industry veteran, former professor of Exercise Science, mental health advocate, and rebellious adventurer with an eye for change. She’s got an unshakable belief that group fitness can be a vehicle for change, and brings that to GXunited.
We promise to deliver the highest quality instruction, tips, and programming in a way that you can put into practice immediately.
And most importantly, we promise to bring our authentic, real selves to the table, never hiding behind fear, convention, or traditional ways of thinking.
