Holistic Strength Rooted in Healing, Community & Empowerment

Hi, we’re Bianca T. and Ariel K., two women with distinct passions and complementary approaches to wellness — coming together to create a gym like no other in Rockridge, CA.

This won’t be just a place to work out.

We’re building a sanctuary — a space where anyone can heal through movement, rediscover their strength, and connect deeply to their bodies, minds, and each other. A space for empowerment, transformation, and true community care.

Who We Are

Bianca is the founder of Holistic Strength, a strength training and wellness practice built around healing, empowerment, and connection. Her work has primarily focused on supporting women — especially mothers — in reconnecting with their bodies and reclaiming their strength. Her passion for pelvic floor health, motherhood support, and women’s circles brings a unique and necessary offering to the fitness world.

As a daughter of immigrants, Bianca never envisioned herself as an entrepreneur — but her mother’s sacrifices gave her the courage to dream. Now, she’s honoring that legacy by building something rooted in purpose, healing, and service.

Ariel is a personal trainer and educator with a Master’s in Education and a background in dance. Her training philosophy centers on functional strength and body awareness through purposeful, integrated movement. She brings grace, precision, and mindfulness to every session, helping clients build strength that supports them in everyday life.

Why This Gym Matters

We’re creating a women-owned gym that is open to all, but with a strong, intentional emphasis on women’s wellness and community.

This space is designed for the general population — all genders, all backgrounds, all bodies — and will offer personalized, inclusive training for every individual.

At the same time, Bianca brings a specialized focus on women’s health and fitness, creating dedicated programming and support for mothers, women healing from pelvic floor dysfunction, and those seeking community-based care.

In a world that often disconnects us from our bodies and pits strength against softness, we’re creating something different:

A space where you don’t have to shrink to fit in.

A space where healing meets hustle.

A space where we redefine strength — not as punishment, but as power, presence, and restoration.

What We’ll Offer

This will be a holistic wellness space where people of all backgrounds can access:

Individualized Personal Training (for all people, all bodies)

Group Strength Training

Stretch & Recovery Classes

Community Events

Pelvic Floor Education & Mom Meetups

Women’s Circles & Support Spaces

Sliding-Scale Programming & Workshops

Mind-Body-Spirit Wellness Resources

Ariel will lead with an emphasis on functional, movement-based training tailored to each individual. Bianca will offer targeted support and education around women’s health, pre/postnatal care, and community healing spaces. Together, we’ll create a space that blends grit and grace — and honors each person’s unique path to strength.
