About us
Rainbow Fit Club started in August 2024 as a very real attempt by elle to trick their self into getting outside and spending time with other people. What began as a simple weekly walk of one or two people has grown into a genuinely sweet, welcoming community of folks who are looking to meet new friends, move their bodies in low-pressure ways, and have a regular time to show up—together.
We center and prioritize LGBTQ+ folks, especially trans and gender-nonconforming people, while welcoming anyone who identifies as LGBTQ+ or loves someone who does. There are no credentials to check—if you feel aligned with that intention, you belong here.
Most weeks, we meet for an easy Saturday morning walk at Tower Grove Park. Occasionally, we try something a little different, and we hope to continue growing our opportunities to connect and move together in new ways as we head into 2026. Think hikes, yoga, "catch club," etc.
This isn’t about fitness goals, competition, or “keeping up.” It’s about showing up as you are, getting some fresh air, and spending time with people who get it.
elle is late-in-life diagnosed neurodivergent and lives with chronic health conditions (ask me, I'm happy to overshare!), and over time we’ve naturally gathered a fairly neurospicy/neurodiverse crew—so asking for what you need is welcome here.
If something would help you feel more comfortable or supported, let us know and we’ll do our best to accommodate.
Low-pressure, family-friendly, and just for fun.

Movie Night: Hedwig and the Angry Inch
Winifred Moore Auditorium at Webster University, 70 E. Lockwood Ave., Saint Louis, MO, USLet's go see this super queer film together, co-hosted by Webster University and the Contemporary Art Museum. This event is free and open seating.
Directed by John Cameron Mitchell, 2001, USA, 91 minutes
As a complement to the program Behind this Mask: Celebrating Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore, Webster University is co-presenting a free screening of Hedwig and the Angry Inch. For this trailblazing musical, writer-director-star John Cameron Mitchell and composer-lyricist Stephen Trask brought their signature creation from stage to screen for a movie as unclassifiable as its protagonist.
Raised a boy in East Berlin, Hedwig (Mitchell) undergoes a traumatic personal transformation in order to emigrate to the U.S., where she reinvents herself as an “internationally ignored” but divinely talented rock diva, characterized by Mitchell as inhabiting a “beautiful gender of one.”
The film tells Hedwig’s story through her music, an eclectic assortment of original punk anthems and power ballads by Trask, matching them with a freewheeling cinematic mosaic of music-video fantasies, animated interludes, and moments of bracing emotional realism. A hard-charging song cycle and a tender character study, Hedwig and the Angry Inch is a tribute to the transcendent power of rock and roll.
Co-presented with Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis.
