Women-Friendly Fitness In and Around Hillsborough

During the summer, many families find exercise outside. Nice weather allows for biking, jogging and walking.

As the cooler weather approaches, a gym membership is a worthwhile consideration in order to avoid the pounds from Thanksgiving and Christmas indulgences.

As women, there are more and more options for fitness regimens that meet our schedules. Beyond early mornings or late evenings, some programs, such as the last two below, offer defined exercises that take the guesswork out of which machine, what class, etc. There are so many options in life that sometimes having a menu of activities can induce a case of analysis paralysis and the last thing any of us needs is one more excuse not to hit the gym.

This week, I selected three gyms in and around Hillsborough that have very woman-friendly classes and activities. In an upcoming article, I will branch out to address additional fitness facilities.
