I spent a lot of years (and money) taking fitness classes only to find myself in homogenous spaces again and again. Frustrated by the lack of racial, ethnic, and body type diversity in boutique fitness studios, I created Freedom Barre and Wellness - an inclusive space where folx could live free from societal standards of what beauty and wellness should look like. For the past two years, me and my Barre Bae’s (shoutout to my day ones!) have gathered in my carefully curated home studio. I am thrilled to be expanding Freedom Barre and Wellness into Sweat Well Studio - an inclusive space for all that centers the needs of Black womxn and femmes and inspires clients to move with meaning and self-love…..to sweat well.

I truly enjoyed Erica’s class! From the moment I walked in, I felt so welcomed and at ease. The energy is calm and uplifting, and the space is very calming and peaceful. It puts you in the right mindset for movement. Erica is not only knowledgeable but also incredibly attentive. Whether you’re a beginner or more advanced, she’ll make sure you feel seen and supported. This will definitely be added to my workout routine.

That class got me sweating but feeling so great afterward! Really love that each class is different and there’s variety with the moves and how we use the weights and Pilates ball.

Best Barre Class in the Bay! Erica is an experienced instructor, incredibly motivating, and creates such a supportive and welcoming atmosphere. Erica skillfully crafts sequences perfectly timed to the playlist, making the workout not only effective but also incredibly engaging and fun. The blend of exercises challenges my small twitch muscles in my glutes, core, and thighs. The body sculpting results are amazing, and I definitely felt the "good burn"! I highly recommend this must-try barre class to fitness enthusiasts of all fitness levels. If you're looking to transform your body and achieve your fitness goals, sign up today!

Last weekend I took my first barre class, and it was a great experience! Erica was an amazing instructor—her calming voice and clear instructions made it easy to follow along, even as a beginner. And let’s not forget the dope playlist. Definitely looking forward to coming back!

This was my first Barre class with Erica so I didn’t know what to expect. What a fun class! Great balance of different types of moves and I appreciated all the modifications that were offered to me, both as a beginner and someone with bad knees. Plus you really can’t beat the vibes. Great music and I just really like exercising outside so I loved it!

Erica is one of the best movement instructors I've ever had and Barre has been life changing for me (no exaggeration). Through her gentle, thoughtful, amazing instruction, she introduced me to a new way to move, exercise, engage with my body that feels so good and healing and strengthening. And the vibes and playlist are always top tier. While I'm sad that I no longer live in CA and can't attend her in person classes (the space she has is gorgeous), the fact that this is my favorite class and its virtual is just a testament to how dope she is and how great Freedom Barre & Wellness is. I would take her virtual classes over other in person classes any day (and I do). Always counting down to my next class. Couldn't recommend enough, would give 10 stars if I could.
