What Is a Female-Focused Gym?

Our female-focused gym is protective of females first & makes safety priority. We want to create a safe space but we still allow all genders to be members of our gym. Here’s how!

How is a female-focused gym different?

💥 We Prioritize the Comfort of Our Members 💥

  • We take a softer approach to fitness. We believe you can be strong and still want a gym that isn’t super intense because let’s face it we can be baddies and still decked out in flowers and pink! 💁‍♀️ Because of this approach we will be transforming the gym into a cozy 60s/70s style atmosphere so you can truly make the gym your own!
  • The layout is set up so gym/social anxiety is minimized. We even angled the machines so no one feels like they’re being stared at.
  • We want to keep our crowd small because we want a truly comfortable and safe space for our people. 🏋‍♀️ Because let’s face it everyone – even bodybuilders to beginners – have experienced this at some point or another.

💥 We Take Safety Seriously From the Start 💥

  • We have two-way audio cameras covering the gym to keep everyone safe. This helps us prevent bullying and harassment. We also have a camera recording the sidewalk to keep members are safe when they leave the gym.
  • We have 911 buttons that send your GPS location and call 911 with one push that you can even talk through.
  • We vet everyone who walks in the gym even for tours to make sure they are going to be respectful including researching online and meeting in person before they come to the gym.
  • We have a system in place where men can only become members at The Lifting Lab if they have a good referral from a current female member. We know not all men are unsafe and want our ladies to be able to work out with their partners if they want to.

💥 We Back Up Our Words With Actions 💥

  • We value respect, love, and honesty, and we have zero tolerance for harassment, bullying, discrimination, and abuse. If a member is observed exhibiting any of these behaviors, their access to the gym is immediately revoked, and we bill the remaining membership dues on their account.
  • These dues will be donated to a charity that combats hateful behavior as a way to help stop inappropriate behavior in the future. 😌
