Sweat & Sculpt by Jacklyn Fit to Host its Largest-Ever Women's Fitness Event Featuring Waka Flocka Flame

Hundreds of Women Are Expected for a Morning of Movement, Empowerment, and Celebration

July 21, 2026

PHILADELPHIA, PA — Sweat & Sculpt by Jacklyn Fit is bringing its biggest event yet to the Philadelphia region on Saturday, August 29, 2026, at the Friends Select School, combining an energizing Pilates workout with an exclusive live performance by Waka Flocka Flame in a one-of-a-kind celebration of female empowerment, fitness, and community. 

 

Jacklyn Romano, 28, founded her women-only training studio seven years ago before launching the Sweat & Sculpt pop-up event series nearly three years ago. Since then, she has hosted eight events, with the most recent drawing nearly 500 registered participants, making it the largest event in the brand's history. Also, this summer, Romano has pop-ups planned for Nashville, TN, and Sea Isle City, NJ. 

 

One of the signature elements that has made Sweat & Sculpt stand out is its matching workout sets. Drawing on her experience as a former activewear brand owner, Romano introduced the matching sets as a way to elevate the experience while remaining inclusive for women of every body type. Workout sets are available in sizes XS through 4X, reinforcing the event's commitment to inclusivity and ensuring women of every shape, size, and fitness level feel welcomed.

 

"At Sweat & Sculpt, our mission is to empower women of every shape, size, and fitness level by creating inclusive pop-up Pilates experiences that inspire confidence, connection, and community. Every event pairs movement with thoughtfully designed workout sets in sizes XS-4X, ensuring every woman feels seen, supported, and celebrated. We believe fitness is about more than exercise, it's about building meaningful relationships, embracing your authentic self, and leaving every class stronger, more confident, and connected than when you arrived," says Jacklyn Romano. 

 

As a special thank you to her community on August 29, following the 50-minute workout, international superstar Waka Flocka Flame will perform during a private concert exclusively for Sweat & Sculpt attendees. The event will also feature sponsor activations, food and beverages, and opportunities for attendees to connect and celebrate together throughout the morning.

 

"We wanted someone iconic to our audience and Philadelphia natives—someone who could hype up the crowd and wasn't afraid to roll out a mat and join us," Romano said. "That's exactly what Waka is doing. He'll be sweating alongside everyone before performing to celebrate this incredible community of women."

 

The August 29 event schedule includes:

• 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM – Participant check-in

• 9:00 AM to 9:50 AM – Sweat & Sculpt Pilates class
• 10:00 AM to 10:30 AM – Exclusive performance by Waka Flocka Flame
• 10:30 AM to 12 PM – Sponsor activations, food, beverages, and community experience

 

With hundreds of women expected to attend, the event is anticipated to be one of the largest female fitness experiences in the region, distinguished by its inclusive atmosphere, matching workout sets, and unique combination of wellness and live entertainment. Sponsors include Juice Pod, Heyday Skincare, Sweathouz, 1st Phorm, TruFru, and Shore Bagels.
