For BIPoC individuals (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color), sports and wellness spaces can bring very different experiences. With this guide, we want to highlight partners who are actively committed to creating more diverse and inclusive spaces – whether through dedicated offerings for the BIPoC community, diverse teams, anti-racist initiatives, or a consciously inclusive community culture.
This list is based on information provided by our partners and does not claim to be exhaustive. Do you know a studio or sports venue that should also be included in this guide? Let us know so we can continue expanding this list together.
You can also explore our Safer Spaces Guides for the LGBTQIA+ community in Berlin, Munich, Hamburg, Cologne, and across Germany, as well as our guides for FLINTA* individuals and people with physical or mental disabilities and neurodivergent individuals.
