What we’re about
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.

Wednesday Walk at Tower Grove Park
Tower Grove Park's Piper Palm House (near the pond and bandstand in the center of the park, Magnolia and Center Cross Drive at Tower Grove Ave., St. Louis, MO, USIt's a new year, and I'm feeling spicy... so I decided let's try a Wednesday morning walk! Not too early, not too long, we'll meet in the same spot we meet in on Saturday mornings, same loop around the park, and we'll be done by 9am. I'll also be hosting a Queer Cozy Crafts & Coffee at Comet in Shaw just down the road at 9am afterwards, if you'd like to join there as well.
Here's the usual spiel:
Join Rainbow Fit Club for a super chill walk through Tower Grove Park! This free, family-friendly event is open to all—pets and kiddos are very welcome.
We’ll meet at 8 AM between the Piper Palm House and the Lily Pond, then take a leisurely walk around the western half of the park. The route is about 1.5 miles on a paved, stroller- and wheelchair-friendly trail. Depending on your pace, the walk may take anywhere from 20 to 40 minutes—and we do our best to make sure no one is left behind!
If needed, we can split into two groups based on pace, and everyone is invited to regroup at Piper Palm House afterward. Whoever is leading will be there to welcome everyone back!
