A gym that starts where you are

A women-only studio in Washington, built for women who thought gyms weren't for them.

Why the studio exists

strongher is a women-only studio gym in Washington. It exists because so many women have stood outside a gym and quietly decided it wasn't for them. Too loud, too busy, too many people who already look like they know what they're doing.

Inside, it's small and it's calm. You're shown how everything works before you're left to get on with it, and every class has options so you can take it at the level you're at that day. Trained for years or never set foot in a gym, there's a place here for you.

Most of the women training here started exactly where you are now. That's the point of the place.
