Creating an inclusive and safe space for everyone to explore movement and work out can be challenging - Trey Joseph took on that challenge and through his own experience of living in a marginalised body as a transgender man and learning how to coach from a trauma informed lens he is DOING JUST THAT!
We had such a great conversation with Trey and chatted with him about
- how he came to his inclusive approach to fitness
- his new coaching programme
- what is needed for people to feel safe in the spaces they exercise in
- why we could all do with a bit of dancing
Trey is a strength and fitness coach, personal trainer, and behaviour change specialist who’s all-in on making exercise enjoyable, accessible, and inclusive.
As a queer, transgender man who transitioned later in life, he knows what it’s like to live in a marginalised body—and how intimidating working out can feel, especially when you're just starting or don’t feel at home in mainstream fitness spaces.
What Trey loves most about working out is how it supports his mental and emotional health, and he wholeheartedly believes that everyone deserves the freedom and resources to move their body in a way that’s right for them. That’s why his coaching style is client-centred, compassion-led, and designed to build confidence, and every workout he coaches is designed to feel safe, fun, and zero-pressure.
He’s one third of the Strength Crew coaching team (along with his wife Emma and dog Dexy), offers online fitness classes as well as 1:1 sessions, and you can chat to him on IG at @trey_strengthcrew
