About Us

Shapes has been involved in women’s fitness for over 28 years. Our first location opened in 1990 and we have been helping women achieve their fitness goals ever since. One constant has remained through nearly 43 years—Americans typically exercise against their own will. Many women are just not comfortable working out with men. Therefore, this becomes the primary reason why women don’t join a health club/fitness center. Shapes has built a system that is laser focused on the needs of women. Shapes provides a place where they can feel comfortable and safe. The goal of every fitness center is to help members get results. We know very well that if they are not comfortable in the center, they will not come. If they don’t come, they lose interest and do not get the results that they had originally wanted. Our focus is our clients’ personal goals. Our mission is to provide our clients with both personalized and customized training programs that change their daily routines. Put simply, our staff helps them make improved lifestyle choices.

Our Industry

Fitness is a $30 billion industry. Women account for 52% of club users and close to 90% of classes taken are by women. There are 55 million memberships between 36,000 gyms and growing consistently at 3% a year. The impetus for Shapes to open a fitness operation that was 100% focused at women was driven by the mainstream desire to live a healthy lifestyle and female fitness had been influenced by the likes of Abbye “Pudgy” Stockton, Bobby Riggs, Jane Fonda and so many others who with the development of new technology, brought health and fitness into your home. Then in the 1980’s, gym owners-built facilities that attracted new customers and members and encouraged them to be part of a greater group exercise craze. Shapes Fitness for Women recognized that many women wanted to exercise in facilities that were tailored to their needs.
