The Baseline Mission.

Baseline was created to provide a safe space for people to explore the non-diet lifestyle and body neutral approach to fitness. In an effort to dismantle diet culture, we strive to provide reliable nutrition and movement education rooted in compassion and science.

The Baseline Vision.

We envision a world where food is loved instead of feared, movement is used for joy instead of punishment, and all bodies are equally valued.

The Baseline Values.

Respect

We value all human beings and their individual lived experiences.

Compassion

We believe that all people are worthy and deserving of kindness, empathy and grace.

Learning

We are endlessly open minded to learning about new ideas and recognize the need to unlearn old ideas that no longer serve us.

Inclusion

We believe in the value of diversity and approaching care from an inclusive lens.
