Giving Back
At KG Strong, strength has always been about more than what happens inside the gym. As a small, woman-founded and led strength training studio in South Philadelphia, we care deeply about our members, our team, our neighbors, and the larger community we’re part of. Over the past 10 years, we’ve worked to build a business that not only helps people get stronger, but also gives back in meaningful ways.
Over the past decade, KG Strong has donated more than $50,000 to local nonprofits through our Rooftop Yoga series, donation-based classes, fundraising events, and community partnerships.
We’ve proudly supported organizations including SEAMAAC, Youth Sentencing and Reentry Project, Garces Foundation, Camp Sojourner, Emily’s Entourage, Vetri Community Partnership, Girls Inc., and more.
Many of these organizations support marginalized communities in Philadelphia, and we’re proud that our small gym has been able to contribute to their work through the strength and generosity of our community.
Giving back also means caring for the people who walk through our doors every day.
At KG Strong, we’re always looking for ways to make our members feel supported, connected, and cared for beyond their workouts. We offer free and low-cost community events, including our Sunday Run Club, Wednesday Book Club, monthly Craft Club, and member-requested workshops and gatherings.
We also offer discounted and free workshops for members throughout the year, often based on what our community asks for or expresses interest in.
As a woman-founded and led business, we’re especially proud of our parent-friendly policies.
We know that getting to the gym can be hard when you’re also caring for kids, so we do our best to make strength training more accessible for parents. We allow children at certain classes when possible, including our postpartum strength series, Strong Mom, at no additional cost.
We also offer a free Parents’ Night Out once every other month for members, giving families four hours of free childcare while parents get some much-needed time for themselves.
We believe that caring for our community also means caring for the people who work here.
KG Strong is proud to offer competitive pay and supportive policies for our full-time staff, including healthcare and paid maternity leave. We want our team members to feel respected, valued, and supported in the work they do.
KG Strong has always been more than a place to work out.
We want our members to feel strong, cared for, and connected to something bigger. We care about our members, our staff, our neighbors, and the larger Philadelphia community – and we believe that being strong also means being good to each other.
