Women's only health clubs and gyms

Health clubs and gyms can be daunting places for those people not used to exercise. The idea of exercising in front of a bunch of sweaty men prancing around the gym in shorts and vests isn't a pretty idea ... even for those of us with active imaginations!

So girls, help is at hand from health clubs and gyms run by women, for women. These women's only health clubs and gyms cater for women who habe no desire to been seen huffing and puffing in front of the opposite sex.

What women want

Walk into any leading health club and their brand emphasis seems to be catered for fir, young, successful people. Expensive, lots or mirrors, junior gym sessions, busy at peak times, waiting around for machines that, quite frankly, look like they are ready to injury someone, and other unattractive aspects.

However, most women are looking for other key factors. They don't want something that takes up to much time, cost a small fortune and eats away at their self-esteem.

Within a health club women are primarily looking for 3 things:

1. A clean environment to exercise
2. Good equipment and classes running at times that suits them
3. Social networking with like-minded people

Sure, friendly staff and quality personal training is important but if the three areas discussed above are covered us girls will be happy to pay money each month.

Ladies only

Gyms and health clubs catering for women only have sprung up over the past view years. Names such as Curves, Gymophobics, Fitness First for Women and Ladyzone now litter many a high street up and down the UK.
