Choreographed cardio! Drag queens! What a werk-out!

Returning for one of the most interactive Pride fundraisers that Vancouver offers, Fitness is Such a Drag again takes over the North Plaza at Vancouver Art Gallery this month. What initially started as a small drop-in class at Pop Queen Cardio’s rented studio space has transformed into an event where everyone, regardless of their dance skills or gender identity, can join for a unique experience that is equal parts a dance class and drag show. 

Attendees can expect an hour of beginner-friendly workouts split into three 20-minute sessions: dance, step, and cardio-strength combinations. Between each session, guests can catch their breath while local drag queens perform. Set to perform is Canada’s Drag Race alumni Kendall Gender, alongside Tiffany Ann Co., Bibi SouPhresh, and Hazel.

All proceeds raised go towards QMUNITY, BC’s queer, trans, and Two-Spirit resource centre.
