BIGGEST BENEFITS OF A WOMEN ONLY GYM
BIGGEST BENEFITS OF A WOMEN ONLY GYM
65% of women avoid the gym over anxiety about being judged. And that’s just one of the shocking statistics from a survey of 1,000 people across the U.S.
Although pumping iron among the toughest, strongest guys in the gym can give your ego feminist a boost, there is definitely something appealing about working out among your fellow gals. We lay down the five biggest benefits of being a member of a women-only gym. What are you waiting for?
LESS GYMTIMIDATION
Suffering from gymtimidation refers to that plummet in your confidence at the gym, whether that means appearing unfit or not knowing how to use the gym equipment. It takes enough to mentally psych yourself up to go the gym in the first place, nevermind worrying about what other people think. Being intimidated by big burly men at the gym can put a real spanner in the works when it comes to reaching your fitness goals. At a women’s only gym, there is definitely less of a sense of judgment and less intimidation from your fellow female.
MORE WOMEN-GEARED GYM FACILITIES
Being part of a women-only gym means there are more equipment and classes catered toward women and the female body. While men generally prefer showing off at the handle free weights and gym machines, women enjoy group fitness classes that use the whole body and the mind. This means more HIIt training, Exercise Bands, Nautilus equipment, Kettle bells, Zumba, and stretching classes, in addition to weight training and weight loss.
MORE INTIMACY AND PRIVACY
Gyms for women are generally less noisy and cozier than most co-ed gyms. A lot of co-ed gyms are huge with too many obscure machines, making you feel lost and not knowing where to start. A women’s gym is usually smaller, more intimate and offers private woman-on-woman personal training, helping you achieve your personal fitness in a personal, non-judgemental space.
GREAT WAY TO NETWORK
Let’s be honest — in addition to being a great place to let off some steam and get your body in fantastic shape, a gym is the perfect place to mingle, network, and make new friends. A women only gym is a great platform to meet like-minded, confident, successful women like yourself.
HOLISTIC, SUPPORTIVE APPROACH
Another positive of a women-only gym is their overarching holistic approach to fitness. Being a fit, healthy woman of course not just about working out, but also about nutrition and psychological support. Being surrounded by female professional trainers who understand this holistic approach is just one of the many benefits of a women’s only gym.
