WHP and HAES®

HAES® AND WHP Studios

At WHP Studios we are body positive personal trainers in private fitness training studio gyms and believe everyone benefits from consistent exercise and strength training. We are inclusive of HAES® (Health at Every Size) which advocates against using weight, BMI, or body size as health indicators. Instead, it encourages individuals to adopt sustainable behaviors that enhance their health, well-being, and overall quality of life. Our focus at WHP Studios is on your abilities, not on your body type.

We provide a supportive and compassionate environment to help you address the unique challenges related to body acceptance and diversity, and we strive to help you make sustainable lifestyle changes. Our studio offers a safe, private, and non-judgmental space that celebrates body diversity and supports you in integrating achievable changes into your daily routine. If you're seeking nutrition advice, we can connect you with our partners of skilled Registered Dietitians and intuitive eating coaches. Our approach focuses on setting holistic wellness goals.

HOW WE TRAIN

At WHP we offer several training options. We have 1:1 private personal training, tandem training, virtual training, and our app-based guided programs.

All of our fitness equipment is accessible to all bodies. We have one mirror in our private training spaces with the option for them to be covered. You have the freedom to choose your preferred weights, repetitions, and exercise variations, as we prioritize your bodily autonomy and agency. Throughout your session, we will frequently check in with questions like "Is this movement okay?" or "What are you feeling right now?" Our trainers are all trauma-informed, and we encourage you to be in tune with your body. We are committed to meeting you where you are and ensuring that you feel safe during your session.
