The subject of the gym spaces was only a female of the hot discussions, but the owners of two training studio revealed the reason for the importance of this.
Diana Johnson and Felicia Orip, who now owns a business studio only for women, opened the first gym in 2014 alongside Velicia Sebastian Orip's husband.
But women, who have 12 years of experience in the fitness industry, noticed something.
“While we fully loved the gym and we also did our members, we noticed early that many women were asking for training during the times when male members in the gym were not.”
“This insight pushed us to open the sister gym that meets the needs of women exclusively. The response was largely positive, and many of our members preferred training in the female facility only on the mixed gym.”
Diana and Felicia said of their own experience 25 years ago from weightlifting, in addition to being in the physical fitness industry, the presence of men can lead to self-awareness or intimidation-especially in the heavyweight areas of weightlifting.
“Unwanted attention, such as stars, comments, or harassment, can create an uncomfortable or unsafe environment, which inhibits women from full participation or returning to the gym.”
The duo said when they opened the gym for the first time, the weightlifting of women was still in its early stages. But, now, there was a significant increase in women not only lifting heavy weights with confidence.
However, regardless of what, they think there will always be a place for female fitness spaces only.
“Many women feel more comfortable in the field of exercise in an environment where they are free of unwanted attention, which can help them feel more confident and focus on fitness goals,” said Diana and Felicia.
“Some women may also hesitate to go to multiple gyms due to intimidation, annoyance and fear of the ruling, which is something we saw directly with the mixed gym between the sexes.
They said that Base Babes Babes provides a “safe and supportive environment” that allows a woman to work “safely and efficiently.”
TEGAN runs a Sydney Business Fit, and she enters fitness after having her second child in her mid -twenties. She joined the gym for the first time, and while she was “arduous and frightening”, she had a personal coach who encouraged her.
Then she completed a personal trainer course and opened her own work.
“At first when I opened my own work and started training women, it was more than a marketing perspective,” she said to News.com.au.

However, with her work growth, she quickly realized that traditional gym format was frightening for women – especially when it was about weightlifting.
So she opened a group training studio to support and guide women on a weightlifting journey, saying that she likes to be able to help women confident to raise heavy weights. She also helps women break the stereotype that can only do heart disease, allowing them to enter a new pattern of fitness.
“What we offer is that our groups are small, so when you come and do the weight category, there are only 12 people there until you always get a personal training experience.”
“It is not about keeping up with music or raising certain quantities. You can raise what you can and do as many actors as possible. It is about technology.”
Tijan said of her own experience, she entered into gyms and was not aware of some equipment – and it did not take time to explain her to her. She said if I felt this way with more than 20 years of experience, how will others feel that environment?
The importance of female gyms was only a hot topic. However, recent incidents such as women in California Bella Pellanab have a man who is lying outside Pilates and a man taking pictures outside the Vernewood in Brisbane, raised this issue.
Tijan said that women simply do not want to work with men.
“If you do not have individual spaces, you will have a full range of women who may not take this next step,” she said.
“There will always be something that hinders them, and if this is the thing if you can make it easier, why is this bad thing?”
Diana and Felicia shared a similar position.
Women said: “The full discussion of female gyms only revolves around whether they enable or create a division. On the one hand, they can provide a safer and more comfortable space for women to exercise, especially for those who may feel self -awareness or molhologists in mixed gymnasiums.”
“On the other hand, some argue that these gyms can enhance the gender boundaries and create a division. We can appreciate both sides, as women and personal coaches with contracts for experience in the gym, we believe that there is a clear demand for this type of facility.
“Our goal has always been – and it will continue to encourage women to move their bodies safely and efficiently in an environment they love, as they feel support and motivation.
“Ultimately, it comes to vitality, purpose and goal of the gym. If the gym owners want to create a space where women feel comfortable and safe, as we did with us, it could be completely positive – and we are all for it.”
