MEMBERSHIP OPTIONS
-
The Community Membership
For queer runners who want connection and a place to belong without the pressure of a structured programme. There’s no coaching, training plans or classes included but you do get access to all the social events and the club Discord Server.
-
The Essentials Membership
For runners who want community and some support but are happy following their own plan (or one of the pre-writen plans from the library). You’ll get regular touchpoints to ask Sophie questions, learn about training and build strength in a group setting.
-
Standard Coaching Membership
For runners who want bespoke monthly training plans written for their goals, schedule and current fitness but who don’t need regular 1:1 contact with Sophie. You also get access to everything in the Essentials Membership.
-
1:1 Coaching Membership
For runners who’ll benefit from frequent, individually tailored support. As well as bespoke training plans you’ll get weekly 1:1 coaching calls as well as being able to message me between sessions. Sophie will check in with your training daily and help you adapt when life happens.
Each membership has three price points:
Supported, Standard and Supporter.
Please choose the rate that best reflects your current financial situation – you don’t need to explain or justify your choice.
Try to choose the highest rate you can comfortably afford without putting yourself in hardship.
If you’re currently struggling to meet your basic needs (rent, food, essential bills) and even the Supported rate is out of reach, I also try to hold a small number of free or very low-cost spots for people with very low or no income – if that’s you, you’re very welcome to contact me and we can talk about options.
Supporter rate
Choose this if you’re generally financially comfortable: you can cover your basic needs, often afford holidays or treats, and a surprise bill would be annoying but not a crisis. This rate helps subsidise lower-cost and free spots for others and keeps Queer Runnings sustainable.
Standard rate
Choose this if you can usually cover your needs, but money is something you have to think about. A surprise bill would be stressful but just about manageable with some juggling. This is the “true cost” of the membership and is what keeps the club running long-term.
Supported rate
Choose this if money is tight and you couldn’t afford the Standard rate, but you can just about make this work if you prioritise it (for example by cutting back on some non-essentials). This rate is here so people who aren’t fully financially comfortable can still access coaching and community.

How the sliding scale works
Each membership has three price points:
Supported rate
Standard rate
Supporter rate
Please choose the tier that best reflects your current financial situation.
You don’t need to explain or justify your choice – I trust you.
Try to choose the highest rate you can comfortably afford without putting yourself in hardship.
Supporter Rate
“I have enough, and I can help make this more accessible for others.”
You might choose the Supporter rate if several of these feel true:
You can comfortably cover your basic needs (rent, food, bills, groceries) and still have money for wants.
You can afford holidays or weekends away most years.
You can save most months and/or have savings or investments.
You can eat out, order takeaway, buy new clothes or pay for hobbies without much stress.
Your housing feels secure.
A surprise expense of around £200–£300 / €230–€350 would be annoying but manageable.
Choosing the Supporter rate helps subsidise lower-cost and free spots and keeps Queer Runnings sustainable.
Standard Rate
“I’m doing mostly okay, but I do have to think about money.”
You might choose the Standard rate if several of these feel true:
You can usually cover your basic needs (rent, food, bills) each month.
You might manage occasional holidays or trips, but they take planning or saving.
You can sometimes afford things like eating out, hobbies, or new clothes, but not all at once and not all the time.
You may have some debt (overdraft, credit card, student loan) but can generally make the payments.
A surprise expense of around £200–£300 / €230–€350 would be stressful but doable with some juggling.
This is the rate that reflects the true cost of the service and helps keep the club running long-term.
Supported Rate
“Money is tight, and I couldn’t afford this at the Standard rate, but I can make it work at this level.”
You might choose the Supported rate if several of these feel true:
You can cover your basic needs, but only with careful budgeting.
You don’t usually have much (or any) money left over at the end of the month.
Paying for coaching at the Standard rate would feel too heavy or unrealistic, but the Supported rate feels manageable if you prioritise it.
You might need to trade off other non-essential spending (e.g. fewer meals out or subscriptions) to afford this.
A surprise expense of around £100–£200 / €120–€230 would be quite stressful and might mean cutting back elsewhere.
The Supported rate is there so people who are not fully financially comfortable, but who can realistically prioritise coaching, still have access.
And what if I really can’t afford it?
I try to hold a small number of free or very low-cost spots for people with very low/no income or who rely on state/disability benefits – if that’s you, you’re welcome to contact me and we can talk about options.
