Truestar Health for Women
www.Truestarhealth.com
With 25 Truestar Health for Women centres in Ontario and three in Winnipeg, Truestar is an integrated health company that focuses on five key areas of health: nutrition, exercise, vitamins, attitude and sleep. Every member has a personal coach and is prescribed an individual program based on all five areas. Terry Nason, president of Truestar Health for Women, says there is a "Cheers" vibe to the Truestar fitness centers: everybody knows your name.
"In our centre we do personal calls," says Nason. "If I haven't seen you in the centre for a week or two I am going to call you." Nason suggests that Truestar's staff members aren't just interested in a membership. "We want to change your life. That is our marketing: 'change your life forever, become the ultimate you,'" she says. "And that is why it is important that you actually attend our centre and not just enroll."
Facilities and classes: 30-minute exercise circuit that includes hydraulics, weight machines, free weights and punching bags, a 20-minute abs, butt and thighs circuit, cardio machines, non-impact bike and elliptical machines, personal coaches.
Membership fees: Monthly fees vary depending on your program. Initiation fee is $199 but it's waived if you're switching from another gym. Women are invited to a free personal coaching session.
There are several other women's fitness clubs to choose from -- from Toronto's upscale Verity with its spa and non-chlorinated swimming pool to women's sections in co-ed clubs like Vancouver's Fitness World. With options such as these, there's no need for women to feel self conscious or awkward working out around the opposite sex and you'll never have to let 'em see you sweat!
