A Denver gym that caters to the LGBTQ community is in danger of closing because of an increase in their rent.
“This is the culmination of six and a half years of work," said Styler Ells, the owner and manager of Metamorphosis Fitness. “Metamorphosis was really born out of my own journey.”
Ells quit their job around seven years ago, and friends encouraged them to open a gym. Metamorphosis Fitness was born in 2017. “It took us six and a half years to get there. So, you know, the queer community is a little slow to trust," Ells said. The gym has a reconciliation bill for approximately $13,600, which covers their outstanding balance from 2022 as well as the charges from this year that the gym could not cover yet. As of Monday, the gym had paid half of the bill. They were able to do so thanks to the increase in membership, Ells dipping into their personal savings, and money raised through a GoFundMe.
