From the founder
I launched Sweat + Soul in 2017 as a lifestyle apparel brand. My goal was simple: bring people from all walks of life together through healthier habits and shared movement. I spent the next few years doing pop-ups, personal training, and community events, and somewhere along the way I realized the clothes weren’t the point. The community was.
In 2022, I turned my little Heights office into the first Sweat + Soul Studios, Houston’s first Latina-owned Pilates studio. I worked six days a week and taught over 1,000 classes that year. We grew from that small office to a 5,000 sq ft space, now the first multi-modality studio and wellness club in Houston’s East End.
Today, we have more than 15 incredible trainers and a community that’s bigger than ever.
Whether you’re here for the sweat, the soul, or both, I’m so glad you found us.
