About Us
Our mission is one of self-compassion and community coregulation.
Power Plus Wellness builds trusted relationships with value-aligned partners to offer private classes with a plus-size focus.
We are a Latina-owned boutique event company that curates life-enhancing movement and immersive wellness experiences for folx in big bodies to jiggle freely, fly with silks, unlearn diet culture, and joyfully exist together.
Our offerings free minds, bodies, and hearts from perceived limitations.
Our Pillars
We don’t just welcome all bodies — we center the ones left out.
Our mission starts with creating safe, intentional spaces where fat folks can move freely, without apology. That means vetting studios and instructors for bias, making sure equipment actually fits all bodies, and offering financial access through sliding scales, sponsored spots, and pay-what-you-can options.
Weight stigma harms health, not fatness.
We understand working to reduce weight stigma requires a collective effort. PPW is here to defy assumptions of what fat bodies are capable of and promote positive language and representation. We regularly amplify the voices of trusted doctors, activists, and educators who break it all down and help our community stay informed and empowered.
Options equal safety.
Safety means choice. Whether you're moving in aqua aerobics, hanging in aerial yoga, or taking it slow in restorative classes, we’ve got you. Not into movement? Join a panel talk, come to a PPW meetup, or tap into our community via Slack.
Community cultivates confidence.
Research backs that connection boosts health. We build spaces that feel like home in your body and your spirit. Judgment-free, trauma-informed, body affirming. We also make it fun too!
Meet the Team
Our core team each has over a decade of leadership experience in the fitness, fashion, and film sectors. We share a commitment to reshaping the discourse on plus bodies within wellness and disrupting the limiting beliefs that keep big people playing small.
