Let’s be honest, walking into a busy gym can be intimidating. Whether you’re just starting out or you’re a seasoned gym-goer, sometimes you just want a space that feels a little more you. That’s where ladies only gyms come in.
At Absolutely Fitness, we believe everyone deserves to feel confident and comfortable when working out. That’s why we’ve created specialist ladies only gyms at our Slough and Bracknell venues. These spaces are separate from the main gym floors, providing relaxed and empowering environments designed just for women.
Not sure if a female only gym is right for you? Here are the top 10 benefits that might just convince you to give it a go.
1. A supportive community vibe
There’s something special about working out in a space filled with like-minded women. You’re all there to better yourselves – no judgement, just encouragement. The sense of community in our women’s only gyms is one of the top reasons our members love it. You’re never alone on your fitness journey.
2. Feel comfortable and confident
For some women, the main gym floor can feel a little daunting. A gym for ladies only provides a more relaxed and private setting, allowing you to focus on your workout without feeling self-conscious. This can be a game-changer for building confidence, not just in the gym, but in all aspects of your life. Our ladies only spaces are perfect for building your fitness routine without distractions or discomfort.
3. Privacy when you want it
Sometimes you just want to focus on your workout without worrying about who’s watching. Our female only gyms offer that extra layer of privacy, allowing you to feel completely at ease while you exercise. Whether you’re new to fitness or just enjoy a more private setting, you’ll find everything you need without the hustle and bustle of the main floor.
4. Tailored equipment selection
Our ladies only gyms are equipped with a range of cardio machines like treadmills, cross trainers and steppers, alongside soft grip free weights and a selection of fixed resistance machines specifically chosen with women’s fitness goals in mind. Plus, we’ve got glutes and legs machines for those lower body gains.
5. Boost your physical strength
Strength training isn’t just for bodybuilders – it’s essential for everyone. Building muscle improves posture, boosts metabolism and supports healthy bones. From free weights to targeted strength machines, you can build strength at your own pace and in a way that feels comfortable for you.
6. Improve mental wellbeing
Exercise isn’t just about physical fitness; it’s a massive mood booster too. Working out in a positive, welcoming environment can help reduce stress and anxiety, and leave you feeling uplifted and energised – all making you more likely to stick with your fitness routine.
7. A more relaxed atmosphere
Without the sometimes intense energy of a mixed gym, gyms with ladies only areas can offer a more relaxed and less competitive environment. This can be particularly appealing if you’re new to fitness or prefer a more low-key vibe.
8. Perfect for all fitness levels
Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned pro, a ladies only gym is a great place to train. You can go at your own pace, try new things and ask for help without feeling self-conscious. Everyone’s on their own journey, and we’re all in it together.
9. Great for group training or solo sessions
Want to bring a friend or prefer to fly solo? Either way, our ladies only areas are perfect. There’s plenty of space, loads of equipment and a friendly atmosphere that makes working out feel less like a chore and more like ‘me time’. At our Slough gym, we also offer ladies only fitness classes, including Pilates, step aerobics and Tae Bo, for those who love a bit of energy and variety in their routine.
10. Try new things without pressure
Feeling a bit unsure about trying out a new machine or exercise? The supportive atmosphere of gyms for ladies only can make it easier to step outside your comfort zone and experiment without feeling like all eyes are on you.
Our ladies only gyms are built with your comfort in mind, and are perfect to help you reach your goals, your way. Ready to get going? Pop into our Slough or Bracknell venues and check out our ladies only gyms or set up your membership now.
