Free Kick Off Class on November 2
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Want a group exercise class without all the hype and expensive outfits? Mission: Workoutis flipping the script on traditional fitness spaces, bringing an inclusive, community-rooted movement class to the heart of the Mission District at ABADA-Capoeira San Francisco (ACSF).
Led by personal trainer and capoeira teacher Renata Barrella (a.k.a Professora Iguana), Mission: Workout welcomes neighbors of all ages, shapes, and fitness levels to come together, move, sweat, and support each other. The focus isn't on perfection — it's on showing up, feeling good, and getting stronger — together.
"We're proving that strength training can be joyful, welcoming, and affordable — without selling you a lifestyle," says Barella. "This is exercise for everyone."
While high-end fitness studios pop up across the Mission, often pricing out local citizens, Mission: Workout offers a powerful and affordable alternative.
Mission: Workout was founded as grassroots fitness collective committed to health justice and community strength, extending the mission of ACSF. The program delivers quality training at a fraction of the standard cost of personal training in San Francisco, which can typically cost $85–$130 per session.
Barella continues, "Mission: Workout is more than a fitness class — it's a form of resistance. In the face of widening health disparities and inaccessible wellness options, this is an invitation to reclaim physical and political power."
