Shape Up Sisters®, is a new style health club that is designed specifically for women who wouldn't feel comfortable in a traditional "hard-body" gym environment. With the Center for Disease Control reporting that 61% of Americans are either overweight or clinically obese, Shape Up Sisters® is offering a much needed service. Shape Up Sisters is the perfect environment for women looking to lose weight and gain more self confident. What stops most people from joining a facility? "Intimidation," says Linda Fondren, owner. Specifically, the fear of not fitting into the health club environment coupled with the fear of not being able to physically do what an instructor asks of them. As a result, most women never even walk into a health club.

With Shape Up Sisters® those fears are addressed. By using state of the art equipment, women work out in a combination of resistance machines and cardiovascular stations set up in intervals. Resistance machines (no weight stacks) means that getting sore is unusual and getting hurt is almost impossible. This is because each participant can increase and decrease her resistance at her own pace and still get a great workout. Because of this type of environment, Shape Up Sisters caters to and attracts more mainstream women that have never worked out in a gym before. The result is comfort and a feeling of belonging says Kesha Campbell, Executive Director.

In addition to a comfortable setting, users of the circuit equipment get a great 32-45 minute workout, burning calories, fat and adding muscle tone—all at a rate that is suited to their fitness level. Because our system allows women to push to her personal maximum capacity, anyone involved in our program is guaranteed to lose inches. In addition, Shape Up Sisters® staff offers great motivation, addresses concerns and ensures lots of fun says Christina Goodlow, CEO.

Shape Up Sisters® understands that healthy living is difficult, that is why we workout with you. Here at Shape Up Sisters®, we are committed to a women’s health and well being of mind, body and spirit. Through our fitness programs, services and our friendly, professional staff our goal is to inspire and support women in their commitment to enhancing the quality of their life.
