Valued Midwest Mujeres Business Member < Return to Listing Connect with Business Bluming Sol Fitness Industry Type: Health & Wellness / Fitness Bluming Sol Studio is a Latina-owned Pilates and wellness studio founded by Audrey Blum in New Glarus, Wisconsin. Built around the belief that movement and wellness should feel welcoming, accessible, and rooted in community, Bluming Sol offers mat Pilates, yoga, meditation, and other wellness experiences for a wide range of ages and fitness levels. Audrey created Bluming Sol after relocating to Wisconsin, bringing together her passion for Pilates, her Latina heritage, and her desire to create a space where people can build strength, confidence, and meaningful connections. The name itself reflects that story—“Sol” represents the sun and her maiden name, Solis, while “Blum” represents her married name and the idea of continuing to bloom through every season of life. What began as a small Pilates practice has grown organically into a community-focused wellness studio that also prioritizes collaboration with other instructors, local businesses, and organizations. At the heart of Bluming Sol is a simple philosophy: Community + Wellness + Movement — Stronger Together.

Quality Education is a Right Be the Change Agent for our Annual Event Lisa Rose In 2022, we conducted a membership survey of nearly 100 Latina and Black women, supervised by the Mobilizing Action Toward Community Health (MATCH) Group in partnership with the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute. Data was collected via Google Forms and reflects the lived experiences and financial realities of our participants. Our findings revealed that over 75% of respondents qualified as low- to moderate-income, and 77% required childcare support to attend programs. Additionally, 88% believed the skills gained through our training would increase their income or benefit their business. Telling your story is Powerful Growing Together is Powerful These insights have shaped our programming, including Voices and Dreams Academy, which provides culturally grounded entrepreneurial training, storytelling, and financial literacy support. This work not only uplifts individuals—it addresses structural inequities and economic disparities in our community. What do your dollars help with? Anchor 1 Sponsor Anchor 2 I want to support!
