Partnership Application
A break from harmful healthism, diet culture, and anti-fatness is our top priority in all of our spaces and offerings.
Embrace Movement
Beyond the Physical
At Power Plus Wellness, we aspire to create a fitness experience that goes beyond the physical, fostering a judgment-free environment where self-compassion is centered.
Our studios and instructors remind participants that their time in class is a personal journey, where progress is measured not just by strength, endurance, and flexibility, but also in joy, self-compassion, and the simple act of showing up. We emphasize promoting modifications enthusiastically and without shame, ensuring an accessible and inclusive experience for all bodies.
We prioritize creating a safe and inclusive space for all members of our community with no diet culture attached. We respectfully ask instructors and studios to refrain from discussing weight or weight loss in any context. It's important to recognize that weight loss isn't always (or even often) a positive indicator of health and can be influenced by various factors, including mental health and medical conditions.

HAES®
Aligned
Power Plus Wellness provides studios and instructors with one-of-a-kind guidelines that center ASDAH’s Health at Every Size® (HAES®) principles, which "promote health equity, support ending weight discrimination, and improve access to quality healthcare regardless of size." The HAES® approach is associated with statistically and clinically relevant improvements in blood pressure, health behaviors, and psychosocial outcomes, such as mood, self-esteem, and body image.
Our internal guidelines and principles have been reviewed by plus-size HAES®-aligned medical doctors, mental health providers, dietitians, advocacy organizers, and peers. These directives are a thorough list of considerations that keep our plus-size members as safe as possible from anti-fat harm and offer educational materials to our partners.
Our mission is to partner with inclusive, open-minded studios and instructors who understand that much of what is traditionally taught in wellness and fitness spaces centers one body-type and perpetuates systemic harm.
Partner with PPW
Our team is currently looking for accredited and value-aligned
NYC-based studios and instructors, as well as virtual teachers to share their offerings with our community.
We are also looking for value-aligned NYC-based studios to rent from regularly for private classes.
It’s a win/win!
Partnering with Power Plus invites an often ignored community into your space. Many of our studio partners have regular returning clients who were introduced through one of our events.
We provide a trusted door.
Your studio does the rest.
