More Than A Body
Founded in 2018, Babes of Wellness has become a safe haven in Compton; a previous wellness desert. We are LA’s first Queer Latina owned all women’s queer wellness gym! We offer a wide range of highly energized fitness sessions that are paired with mindful minutes that create an elevated and wholesome experience for each member. We offer private one on ones, and group sessions that include Power Yoga, Pilates, Dance, and strength & conditioning for all levels and walks of life.
We believe it is essential to invest in every area of who you are as an individual to maximize your potential, relationships and elevate your well-being . We are “MORE THAN A BODY” came from the idea to shift from the toxic fitness culture into a more accepting and mindful way to movement. We are changing the narrative around body image and self worth.
We focus on helping clients improve their overall wellness, and teach them tools to ensure they can maintain it too.
