The Female FitHub

The Female FitHub is a female-only gym located on the Southside of Glasgow. It will be available for females aged 16 years and over.  At the Female FitHub, we want to ensure that our members are not disadvantaged by exercising in a female-only gym environment. Therefore, we will provide our members with various equipment, weights, and group exercise classes. There will be two fully equipped fitness studios for our members to access through our online booking system. One studio will be dedicated to our fitness coaches to instruct group exercise classes suitable for members at all fitness levels. Our second studio is for our qualified Pilates instructor to provide Reformer Pilates sessions. Every month, we will run a workshop alongside a self-defence coach to improve our member's self-awareness, boost their confidence, and teach them how to protect themselves and others.

The Female FitHub will support our members by providing females with a safe place to exercise and reach their goals. The gym can be extremely daunting for females, particularly the free weights area, traditionally known as a 'man's place.' More females are moving from cardio-only exercises to incorporating lifting weights into their exercise routines. However, it can be challenging for females to enter the weight room individually as it can be highly intimidating. At the Female FitHub, we want our members to feel confident and strong while exercising, and we want our members to look forward to every gym session instead of dreading it. We want our members to know they are entering a safe space open to women 16 years old and over of all fitness and ethnic backgrounds.

The Female FitHub is a women-only gym with women-only staff to provide privacy and support to all our members of various ethnic backgrounds providing a space to feel comfortable lifting weights, away from macho bravado and the male gaze that so often pollutes the atmosphere of any commercial gym. Giving more options to females who may have previously only exercised from home. Our gym will enable our members to exercise in an environment knowing they will not face intimidation from males or the fear of being approached or harassed by males, which is, unfortunately, prevalent.
