What is FiA?
FiA stands for Females in Action, which is a community of women dedicated to making each other stronger in all areas of our lives through activities that include bodies, minds, and hearts. A FiA workout is a promise, always free, open to ALL women, held outdoors, and ends with a circle of trust.
FiA Principles
01
"F" is for Female
FiA is for women only, including persons identifying as a woman. FiA workouts are open to women of all ages and fitness levels.
05
Always On Time
A scheduled FiA workout is a promise. A scheduled workout starts and ends on time and will have someone there every time. If a workout is cancelled because of unsafe weather, a convergence, or a major holiday, it will be announced on the regional social media platform(s).
03
Always Free
FiA workouts are free. Always. No catches. Seriously.
06
Circle of Trust
A FiA workout ends with a Circle of Trust and Name-O-Rama. We acknowledge each individual after every workout. If you're new, you'll receive a nickname right then and there. We take a moment to pause in reflection or contemplation often with a motivating quote or story before going into the world.
02
All Beliefs Welcome
FiA workouts are open to women of all religions and beliefs. We accept all faiths. This might be faith in a god, a concept, the universe, or the good of humanity. Generally a belief in something larger and outside of ourselves.
04
Always Outside
FiA workouts are outside, rain or shine. We do not cancel workouts unless conditions are absolutely unsafe, because being together outdoors connects us with nature and each other. "Unsafe" means lightning, tornados, icy roads, flash floods in the park, etc. When attired appropriately, hard rain, painfully cold weather, and snow are all perfectly safe and are just another way to make us stronger. Workouts might be modified to adjust to the conditions, such as seeking covered areas or parking garages, or sticking to in-place moves like burpees. View FiA's Inclement Weather Policy here. >>
07
No Woman Left Behind
No one is left behind at a FiA workout. There is always someone watching the back so no one is lost or feels alone, discouraged, or unsure.
