This is probably one of my favourite things about running Her Fitness Hideaway. π₯Ήπ
I've watched women come through the door nervous, unsure how to use the equipment and sometimes wondering whether the gym is even for them.
Then a few months later, I'll look across the gym and see that same woman helping someone else.
Maybe she's showing a newer member how something works. Maybe she's answering a question. Maybe she's simply chatting to someone who came in alone and making her feel welcome.
I've watched friendships form between women who probably would never have met otherwise.
And I think that's one of the things that makes having a smaller gym so special.
There's a real sense of women looking out for and supporting one another.
Women who once needed that little bit of reassurance themselves often become the ones giving it to someone else.
I may have created Her Fitness Hideaway, but the women inside it created the community. π
