JUNE AOTM-YOU

This month, we’re doing something a little different.

Instead of highlighting one athlete, we’re celebrating all of you — our incredible Solcana community — as our June Athlete of the Month.

Why? Because June marks 11 years since Solcana first opened its doors, and we wouldn’t be here without every single person who has walked through them. That’s 11 years of early mornings, hard-earned PRs, shared chalk buckets, and showing up for yourself. And it all adds up to something way bigger than fitness.

This gym was built to be a place where everyone — regardless of identity, background, or experience — could discover their strength and belong. And there’s no better time to honor that mission than during Pride Month.

Solcana was built to be a space where queer, trans, BIPOC, fat and other often-excluded folks could feel strong, seen, and supported. So it feels especially right to celebrate you during Pride — a time that reminds us of the power of community, resistance, and joyful self-expression.

Whether you’ve been here for years or joined recently, whether you're lifting for a new PR or just showing up to move and breathe — you are the reason Solcana exists. You make this gym more than a gym. You make it a place where people get to be fully themselves.

From queer joy to collective resilience, our community is the heartbeat of this space. You’ve shown up for yourselves, for each other, and for a better vision of what fitness can be. We see you, we thank you, and we celebrate you.

Thank you for 11 years of strength, solidarity, and sweat — and for making this one of the most badass, heartfelt communities around.

Here’s to more years of lifting each other up — in the gym and beyond.

Happy Pride, and thank you for being part of the Solcana story. 💪🏽🌈

With so much gratitude,

Solcana Fitness
