"When jazz singer Robin Barnes isn’t performing at various festivals and shows around New Orleans, she is working on making her hometown a more fit and connected place.

"...if you’ve never danced a day in your life, it doesn’t matter—no one cares, no one is going to laugh at you, heck, no one will even be looking your way as they’re all paying attention to the teacher anyway and trying not to trip over their own two feet.

Following a life-threatening health crisis a few years ago, local singer and songwriter Robin Barnes was inspired to not only jumpstart her own wellness routine, but to inspire others in her hometown to do the same through a creative line of New Orleans-themed fitness apparel.

In a nod to this musical preference, one of FIT by You’s creations is a line of tops and shorts emblazoned with “Move Ya Brass.”
