Novem Community Fitness

A huge THANK YOU to all of the generous businesses and individuals who donated to this year’s Pride WOD raffle! 🌈

Because of your support, we’ve put together some incredible prize packages to help raise money for The Attic Youth Center and the LGBTQ+ youth they serve right here in Philadelphia.

🎟️ Raffle tickets are $5 each (or 10 tickets for $45)
🎟️ Place your ticket(s) into whichever prize package(s) you’d like to win
🎟️ You do not need to be present for the entire event to win—we’ll contact winners after the drawings

Be sure to check out the last few slides for details on each raffle package and start planning where you’re putting your tickets 👀

Donations can also be made via Venmo. Every dollar donated will be added to Joe’s Echo Bike challenge, where he’ll complete 1 calorie for every dollar raised 😈🚴

This year’s Pride WOD is dedicated to Leslie Feinberg, an influential LGBTQ+ activist, author, and organizer whose work helped advance understanding, visibility, and solidarity across communities. We’ll share more about the significance of this year’s workout and its rep scheme on Saturday.

We’re honored to be featured in The Philadelphia Inquirer for our annual Pride Month fundraising efforts 💛🌈

For years, the Novem community has come together to support The Attic Youth Center and the incredible work they do for LGBTQ+ youth in Philadelphia. What started as a small fundraiser has grown into one of our favorite traditions, and it’s only possible because of the generosity of this community.

Over the years, we’ve raised more than $25,000 for The Attic, and we’re excited to keep that momentum going this month. Link to the article is in our bio.

Don’t forget to sign up for Pride Wod happening this Saturday. Bring your friends! Drop in link in bio.

🌈 Happy Pride Month! 🌈

While we strive to be an inclusive community all 365 days of the year, June is always an extra special month-long celebration of our LGBTQ+ community.

At Novem, we believe fitness is for everyone. We are proud to be a space where people can show up as their authentic selves, find support, build confidence, and be part of a community that celebrates them for who they are.

Thank you for helping make Novem the welcoming, supportive, and vibrant community that it is. We can’t wait to celebrate with all of you this month! 🏳️‍🌈💛
