Big Boy Foundations

S1E3 - Why I Created Big Boy Club

In this episode, Evan shares the story behind Big Boy Club: how it started, the gap it fills, and what it truly stands for. From the early vision of building a space where movement, community, and education come together, to creating a place for gay men to use fitness as a way to create better connections with each other and themselves. Big Boy Club isn’t just for the “fit.” It’s for anyone who’s ever felt like they didn’t belong in the gym. 🎧 Next week kicks off the Big Boy Foundations series, where we dive into training, nutrition, and mindset.
