Today we're talking to OUT Foundation founder Will Lanier. Formerly known as OUTWOD, the OUT Foundation’s mission is to remove the barriers that block LGBTQ+ individuals' access and participation in fitness, health, and wellness to ensure their success. Will takes us back to the group’s origins as an informal workout community in New York City, and he details how — over nearly ten years — it’s grown into a foundation that serves communities across the United States. We also discuss their goals moving forward, issues they’re mobilizing around, and why they felt the need to create their own leaderboard for the CrossFit Open.

This episode is all about OUTWOD's OPEN+ Leaderboard for the CrossFit games! Every year, athletes from around the world compete in a global competition called the Crossfit Open. However, the leaderboard divides people into 2 categories: Male/Female, and doesn’t allow transgender folks to compete as their identified gender. This forces them to compete as their gender assigned at birth. OUTWOD's OPEN+ is the first leaderboard that won’t put people into gender categories. It breaks down barriers for transgender and non-binary athletes – making the whole experience more inclusive. We also dive into our love of Lady Gaga, other queer icons, and whether or not you’d rather have a bowler hat sewn to your head forever, or a monocle superglued to your face forever.

We had a blast this week interviewing Will Lanier, founder of OUTWOD and The Out Foundation. We hear from Will about how his experience as being one of the first few gay men in the early days of CrossFit motivated him to start OUTWOD and The Out Foundation, and how his mission has evolved to include health and fitness scholarships for LGBTQ youth, education about transgender issues, and a non-stop schedule that has earned him the nickname “The Gay Mayor of CrossFit.” Please leave us a review on iTunes!
