FitPOWER LLC is a lifting and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu gym on Milwaukee's west side dedicated to creating affirming, accessible fitness spaces for LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC communities.
Since opening their doors for open gym membership in August 2022, FitPOWER has expanded beyond their original 11 years as a private and small group coaching facility. They offer flexible membership options including open gym passes at $20 per week or $40 per month, along with martial arts classes and personalized coaching. The gym maintains a deliberately intimate training environment by limiting open gym to just four people per hour, ensuring members have ample access to equipment and a quieter, cleaner space compared to typical commercial gyms.
FitPOWER prioritizes body autonomy, community care, and intentional spaces that reject diet culture and unhealthy fitness trends. Their philosophy centers on the belief that strong bodies create strong communities, with knowledgeable and compassionate coaching available for both strength training and martial arts programs. All potential open gym members must complete a staff tour before joining to ensure the gym's safety standards and community values are understood and respected.
