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.

I was very nervous to take my first Reformer Pilates class in a long time and was grateful when PPW offered a class in partnership with Pilates Coven. I instantly felt at home. The class showed me that this studio was an inclusive, non-intimidating, and welcoming space to begin a Pilates practice. Soon after, I bought a membership with the Coven and never looked back. I always walk away from class feeling stronger and accomplished, knowing that I took the time for myself. I'm so grateful for Power Plus Wellness showing me a safe place to land and making Pilates more accessible.

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.

It’s a win/win!
