The gym should be a welcoming and safe place for everyone. Unfortunately, the fitness industry is male-dominated, thus making many women feel uncomfortable working out or attending the gym by themselves (Smith, 2018). In addition, women may feel insecure about how they look, in addition get unwanted attention from other members. It is important to note that not all men do this; but, is it a problem women have to deal with daily.
PSB Fitness wanted to create a space, so women feel more comfortable and safer working out. Firstly Every day from 9:00 am to 10:00 am will be ladies hour, thus creating a safe space. Further more throughout the day PSB Fitness will offer female-only classes such as yoga and pilates. Our goal is to provide women peace of mind and create a space where they feel supported to develop a healthy lifestyle in addition to feeling confident. The two locations in Brampton and Mississauga encourages a healthy lifestyle through empowering exercise for everyone.
Focused Workouts
Women will feel more comfortable working out and supported. In addition, they would not have to worry about what their gym attire looks like while working out and can use the machines and equipment that men typically use. An example would be men typically are in the weight section of the gym, women would have the opportunity to use the weights.
Safety
Women may feel uneasy working out and getting unwanted advancements from other like getting hit on or being watched. In addition, women have expressed that they have rudely interrupted men while working out, which made them not want to return to the gym (Russel, 2017).Feeling safe at the gym will result in more clients to come workout without fear of judgement.
Empowerment Exercise
Starting off your fitness journey can be scary and intimidating; however, being around like-minded individuals can make the journey less intimidating. Women can make friends with each other and support
and motivate each other which result in women feeling confident no matter where there are in their fitness journey. Women would be more understanding how women bodies naturally are like with pregnancy and menstruation , which will make everyone feel confident.
Upcoming Events
PSB Fitness has some exciting events and contests. Like, every Friday night, from 5:00 pm to 9:00 pm, we host Teen Night.
