This session was led by Becca Kirkpatrick, a personal trainer and lifelong union geek. She is a little bit obsessed with drawing the connections between body power and organized collective power in our workplaces and communities. As a labor union activist, she initiated an ambitious union sports event that ran for 3 years. Then, as a PT working in a chain gym, she tried to help kickstart a union organizing drive for gym workers.
Now, through Big Bag Training and as a co-founder of We Got to Move training co-operative, Becca is itching to continue the conversation about the need for a union for the fitness industry. If you’re interested in resisting exploitation and reshaping our sector for the better – for workers and gym members – this session is one for you.
