#147 LGBTQ+ Culture, Community & Social Wellness with Connor Minney

Connor Minney (@connorminney) is the founder of gayns (@getgayns) a social wellness brand creating community-driven events that inspire a cultural shift in how gay and queer people experience fitness, connection and wellbeing.


In just two years gayns has brought together 30,000 attendees across more than 300 events, created what is now the world’s largest weekly gay run club, developed their own tech, and is in a long term partnership with lululemon.


Connor’s work sits right at the intersection of community, culture and wellness, and the impact of that work is being recognised more widely. This year Connor was included in the Attitude 101 List, recognising 101 LGBTQ+ trailblazers, for his work building gayns and supporting the community through fitness and wellbeing.


In this episode Sammi sits down with Connor to discuss gayns, from its formation to its future, why Connor found himself yearning to reconnect with his own community post-pandemic, and why mainstream wellness culture is not working for every consumer.
