WODProud

<p>WODProud is a non-profit CrossFit community established in London in November 2014 by Amir Ghomshei, now led by Levi and Solomon. The organization is dedicated to creating a welcoming and inclusive environment where LGBTQ+ individuals of all fitness levels can build strength, foster connections, and cultivate pride. Their mission is anchored in three core pillars: CrossFit, Community, and Pride.</p><p><br></p><p>Through regular events and charitable partnerships, WODProud aims to nurture belonging, support mental health initiatives, and empower queer individuals. They host monthly CrossFit meetups across London, offering partner and group workouts for all skill levels, followed by social gatherings. Funds raised from these events are reinvested into the community, primarily supporting "THRIVE," a program launching in early 2026 that provides free, bi-monthly CrossFit classes to remove financial and social barriers to fitness for LGBTQ+ people in London. Additionally, WODProud contributes to LGBTQ+ mental health charities and organises seasonal events to strengthen community bonds.</p>
