Unwanted attention, mansplaining, intimidation or lewd comments are just some of the reasons that women are looking for alternative places to train
By Kia- Elise Green, 11th February 2025 'I want to work out without judgement': Why more are turning to women-only gyms
Nancy Best, personal trainer and founder of Ladies Who Crunch, thinks it an issue across women’s fitness as a whole: “Wrongly, female fitness is allowed to be more expensive. Women are constantly being told to change the way they look and they command a higher price because the marketing is almost like it’s an insider’s secret or magic solution to looking amazing.”
“Women, especially menopausal women, need strength training more than ever. I don’t think creating these exclusive gyms where the price is much higher is right,” That said, she thinks they’re fair: “I think women who can come to a space where they are building relationships with women who share their values is really powerful. Creating these safe spaces where women can make connections is a really positive thing.”
