There has been a steep rise in the number of women only gyms in the past 15 years, and the numbers continue to climb. There are many reasons for choosing a women only gym such as: some women feel intimidated by working out in front of men, some women because of their religious beliefs do not want to show any skin in front of strange men, and others choose women only gyms because they simply feel more comfortable working out among other women.
There are several franchises that have cropped up to serve the needs of women. These clubs offer a nurturing environment where women who might never join a co-ed gym feel comfortable coming and working out among other women. The equipment offered at these gyms is designed to be used by women.
Many women only gyms offer personal trainers who can help their clients to reach their fitness goals with a customized workout plan. These gyms are especially good for older women because they can help them to gain strength, build both confidence and bone mass while also avoiding injury.
