“I was invited to display my work through my dear friend and fellow artist, Cameron Moberg. We met years ago from being in the SF street art scene and struck up an immediate friendship that has carried through to the present day. He has asked a number of his artist friends to show work at DIAKADI, and I was honored to be invited recently. I was unfamiliar with DIAKADI before this opportunity, but from the moment I stepped into the facility to see the space I was impressed. There is a professionalism and welcoming atmosphere that I have not seen at other gyms. I am particularly impressed with the holistic health side of DIAKADI, in recognizing the systems of body, mind, emotions and spirit. I take my nutrition seriously as a vegan, I meditate regularly, I go trail running and do my own home calisthenics, but should I want to go somewhere to pursue these practices more, I’ll go to DIAKADI. ”

“I was invited to show my photography at DIAKADI a few months ago. I had actually trained there several years prior, so I knew (and really liked) the space, but I wasn’t sure how it would work with my photography. Ultimately, the industrial yet warm feel, and the open layout, really made my work stand out. I was very pleasantly surprised. Even better, Jason, Aurora and the staff were super helpful, incredibly flexible and overall a true pleasure to work with… The positive feedback from the clientele was amazing, and I am thrilled to have several pieces hanging in clients’ and trainer’s homes. I am very thankful to have had the opportunity to show my work at DIAKADI – and hope someday to be invited to again.”

“When DIAKADI first contacted me about showing my work I was quite skeptical. My first thought was that a gym was not an ideal place to show my work but I could not have been more wrong. When I walked into the beautiful loft like space, met the people who work there and learned about their clientele I changed my mind and I’m so grateful I did! Once the show was up I received a lot of positive feedback, including requests for commissioned works, one of which I’m presently working on. The people who work at DIAKADI were incredibly helpful and supportive throughout the entire experience and I really appreciate all their work and professionalism. It was an amazing experience and I hope to show my work there again in the future.”
