Who this is for
THIS IS FOR YOU IF...
It's your first time
You've never set foot in a weight room. Or you have, and you walked out 10 minutes later.
You've started and quit
January 1st. Gym membership. Three weeks of progress. Then six months of skipped workouts.
You're stuck
You've been working out for 6 months. The scale hasn't moved. Neither has the mirror.
The 45 minutes
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO START
The Slow Build roadmap
Our 5-stage system across Fitness, Nutrition, and Recovery. You'll know exactly which stage you're at and the one thing to do next.
The protein math that builds muscle
Bodyweight x 0.7 = grams of protein per day. Plus what that looks like on a plate, with cheat sheet PDFs.
The 1-3 RIR rule
How to know if you're working hard enough to actually grow muscle. Most people aren't. This fixes it.
Your program recommendation
Beginner, Home, Gym, Build, or Run. We'll point you to the right one based on the polls during the call.
Pridefit's teaching guides
Sleep, mobility, soreness, cooking, protein, lifting form. The same guides Pridefit members use. Yours after the class.
A resource library, yours to keep
Every guide from the class in one place. Bookmark it, come back whenever.
The framework
MEET THE SLOW BUILD
5 stages. 33 weeks. The system that keeps people from quitting at week 3.
WEEKS 1-4
- F30 min movement, 1 day per week
- NEat 1 fruit or vegetable per day
- R5 min weekly planning session
WEEKS 4-8
- F30 min movement, 2 days per week
- NCook 3 dinners per week
- R7-9 hours of sleep per night
WEEKS 9-16
- F30-45 min movement, 3 days per week
- NReduce processed food in the house
- RTurn off screens 45 min before bed
WEEKS 17-32
- F30-45 min movement, 4 days per week
- NReach your protein goal daily
- RMaintain same bed and wake-up time
WEEK 33+
- F45 min movement, 5 days per week
- NAdjust caloric intake for your goal
- R30 min daily stress management
The rule
Drop one stage from where you think you should be.
Most people start at Stage 5 and quit by Week 3 because the intensity isn't sustainable. Most beginners belong at Stage 1. Most restarters belong at Stage 2 or 3. If you think you can handle Stage 4, start at Stage 3. The framework works because you stay one stage below your ego, long enough for the habit to actually form.

Who's teaching
MEET YOUR HOST, SAM
In 7th grade my track team called me Sunshine from Remember the Titans. That was the first time I remember not feeling safe at the gym.
In college I was eating 5,000 calories a day trying to look like Hugh Jackman so I could get on Broadway. It didn't work and I ended up hating fitness and food.
When I moved to NYC I fell into a workout group of gay men. It was the first time I saw people exercising for their health, not just to look a certain way. That's where Pridefit started.
I built Pridefit to be the smallest part of your life, for the rest of your life. The opposite of the all-or-nothing fitness world we grew up in.

Eligible
I travel a lot for work and don't have access to a gym sometimes, so Pridefit has replaced all the fitness apps on my phone. Pridefit sessions are great, easy to learn and manageable when in a hotel room.

From the high quality workouts, to the delicious macro-friendly recipes, this app is the full package. Plus, getting in shape while supporting a queer owned-business? It's a win-win, honey!

I've been doing Pridefit for years, and I've absolutely loved watching the community grow. The workouts are incredible and it's super motivating to watch my coach add new workouts every day.
