Move For The Culture
Move for the Culture:
A Space for Black Fitness Professionals, By Black Fitness Professionals
In 2020, Ianthe founded Move for the Culture—a global fitness intiative.
It was an international day of movement that focused on:
-
Celebrating Black culture through fitness and community.
-
Advocating for systemic change in diversity and accessibility in the fitness industry.
-
Fundraising for organizations supporting Black communities.
The initiative quickly gained momentum, reaching over 250 individuals and organizations worldwide, hosting impactful events and classes. Read the articles below that sparked the movement.

Why Relaunch Now?
After reflecting on the evolving cultural and industry landscape, I recognize the growing need for Move for the Culture. While the fitness industry is evolving, Black fitness professionals still face barriers to growth and support. This relaunch is about creating a space that truly meets the needs of Black fitness professionals—where you can learn, connect, collaborate, and thrive.
Move for the Culture is a vibrant community where Black fitness professionals come together to share our stories, celebrate what makes us unique, and build lasting connections. It’s a space to meet new people, exchange ideas, and support one another as we level up together. Here, you’ll find the resources, inspiration, and tools to reach your goals. Through workshops, panel discussions, and creative collaboration, we’re building a platform and community where we’re not just talking about change—we’re making it happen.
