Fitness Center Opens For Women

Farmgirlfit, a fitness center designed for women, opens Monday at 2930 N. Government Way (north of Best Tire). Coaches guide members ages 16 to 65 through one-hour workouts called “the grind.” They lift weights, run, jump, push, pull, climb and sometimes flip a tractor tire. “Our ladies do things that translate to everyday life,” said co-founder and coach Jaunessa Walsh. “It’s the most efficient way to be fit.” Members are encouraged to participate in monthly challenges—from eliminating sugar to doing pull-ups to raise money for charities. They may gather for weekend runs and cheer each other on in races. “Facing and overcoming challenges bonds people,” Walsh said. “Everyone here is trying to be their best selves”/ Nils Rosdahl , Business Bits, Coeur d’Alene Press.

Question (for the Ladies of HucksOnline): Would you prefer a center with fitness designed for women? Or working out in a gym with men, too?
