Minky

About this Speaker

Minky is a queer, non-binary transmasculine Korean personal trainer in Chicago, IL.

They founded Han Training (formerly LiftyBoi Training) early summer of 2019 after recognizing the lack of inclusive and accessible fitness trainers/spaces that align with the progressive and radical dismantling of white supremacy, queer/transphobia, fatphobia, ableism, and classism.

​

Quickly realizing the necessity of this resource, Minky opened up a private home studio in Fall of 2020, as a way to safely navigate training during the introduction of the COVID pandemic.

In the early summer of 2021, the community had grown to a point where Minky could no longer manage the capacity within their home, so moves were made to rebrand and officially open up - Han Training [by LiftyBoi].

​

They are energetic, passionate, and fully committed to providing as much information as they can to their LiftyFolx so as to help others continue to build a connection with their bodies as we all deserve.
