WHAT WE DO & WHO WE ARE
gain. is the brain child of Katie Wetzel and Erin McDevitt - two trainers in Atlanta who realized that if this town is going to have a space for women to move their bodies, get really freaking strong, learn some life skills, find a little joy in the process, and make some life-long friends, well…we were going to have to just build it ourselves.
We offer a range of classes from teaching you the fundamentals of strength training, pushing you to your limits with strength and conditioning, bringing fluid movement and vibes through yoga and dance, and getting really specific with classes and workshops just for special populations: women over 50, prenatal, postpartum, and more.
MEET THE TEAM
Katie and Erin have combined decades of experience as movers, teachers, and motivators. With backgrounds in strength training, yoga, dance, stunts, mobility, and meditation, we’re more than trainers: we’re your biggest cheerleaders.

Erin is passionate about encouraging women to become the most boundless versions of themselves and not be afraid to take up space. A goal of hers in opening a fitness studio is to provide a safe space to try new things, do it scared, and rediscover yourself. Through strength training and new forms of movement, female-identifying humans gain confidence, resilience and vigor for life.
OUR VISION
OUR VISION
Atlanta-based movement professionals, Katie Wetzel and Erin McDevitt, are opening a gym studio space. After years of guiding 1:1 personal training clients, group fitness classes, dance, and yoga, we realized that there’s not a single space (that we’ve found) that offers a full spectrum of movement designed specifically for women: so we’re going to build it.
Over the last three years, we’ve been building and testing our group fitness structure with small group classes, and we KNOW there is a need for women to train together. We recognize the power of the pack, and when we come together to lift and learn, there’s so much more that we can gain.
This is a huge undertaking, and we're excited about the journey ahead.
Our mission is to create a space for female-identifying humans to take time for themselves; to experience the power of movement and embodiment, and to come together as a community that can lean on, support, and motivate each other.
It's going to be a magical place.
