How The Trap Lab Is Changing the Fitness Game in Federal Way

The Trap Lab in Federal Way isn’t your average fitness studio—it’s a whole vibe and a safe space. Founded by sisters Icea Pettigrew and Sharde Bullard, this Black woman-owned studio blends culture, community, and movement in a way that hits different.

Originally starting as pop-ups, The Trap Lab is now four years strong with a brick-and-mortar home—and it’s more than just workouts. Their slogan, “Switch Up the Formula,” is a full-on mission to prioritize emotional, physical, and mental wellness in a space that feels like family.

One of their most popular offerings? Line dancing with Jacqueline Herrera aka “Royal Woman.” Her classes stay sold out and bring in a crowd that’s ready for fun, joy, and community.

But it doesn’t stop there. They’ve partnered with local businesses and wellness pros like Charcuterie Chicc, PYC Sweets Wine Bar, and therapist Tawanna Wilson to offer everything from sound baths to fitness challenges. They even make space for youth with the Phenomenal She dance team and stream classes through their app.

What makes The Trap Lab so special? It’s run with love and built with the help of the community—literally. It’s a space where folks from Seattle to Everett come to heal, grow, and feel seen.
