The Journey to Opening

This dream has been years in the making and is finally almost here! Hosting park workouts in Pittsburgh all Summer of 2024. We are expanding our amazing community before opening a boutique style studio with goals to eventually expand to our open gym concept.

I first came up with the idea back in 2020 as I saw a need for women to have a safe space to workout, separate from men. Since then I’ve gone on my own hormone healing journey and began learning more about the female body. I then realized we need something totally different than men when it comes to fitness. Our bodies go through 4 phases each month that totally effect the way we should be training. I decided to try it out for myself and can honestly say cycle syncing my workouts has changed my life and the relationship I have with my body. I know so many other women who also struggle with hormone issues and I realized this gym is meant to be so much more than a regular gym. It’s meant to be a place to show women how to work with their body’s natural cycle, instead of against it. How to learn to listen to their body and discover their own inner strength and confidence. A space to flourish in a community of women all on the same journey as you.

I always wanted this to be a big box gym like the female version of LA Fitness. But after having a building opportunity present itself to me in November of 2023 I began to see the beauty of starting in a boutique style space. Where we would host a few different fitness classes and begin helping women better understand their bodies. The classes we would have are boxing/self-defense, yoga, pilates, HIIT, feminine flow (intuitive movement), and twerk classes for every full moon. Classes will be categorized by which is best to do during the different phases of your cycle to help you learn your bodies natural energy levels throughout the month.

I am so excited to bring this dream to life and will be posting all the park workouts to the Instagram page @bodywomensgym. Thank you for supporting my dream!
