Girl Gains

UMW Girl Gains Lifting Club is part of a nationwide chapter of other Girl Gains clubs. Our mission is to create an inclusive and supportive community in the gym for all gender identities. We teach women and people who are gender non-conforming about fitness, physical and mental health, nutrition, and other topics they’re interested in by having guest speakers and research-based presentations during our club meetings. Through events during the semester and friendly faces in and out of the gym, we help members make and set goals in working out and their daily lives. We host a Ladies’ Lift Night each spring where members can learn and practice lifts in the gym with a supportive community featuring members with varying levels of experience. Last year, we were able to use donations for gift basket raffles for members, stickers, “Friends-giving” food, and our “Pie an Executive” fundraiser.

This year, your support will go back to our members through giveaways, cost of events, and transportation, as well as merchandise for members.
