Testimonials

"Women's Athletic Club has been a part of my life for 10+ years. The boutique club provides an empowering and supportive space for women to achieve their fitness goals. It's a pleasure to be a member of such a great establishment."

India M., member of 14 years


"I have been coming to WAC for a number of years now, working out with a trainer as well as on my own.  But within the last year I began to take advantage of some of the classes offered each evening at 5:30.  What I discovered and really like about each of the classes is that the instructor will always offer alternative movements geared to each individual's needs and ability.  They want to get to know you, your strengths and limitations, so you can reap the most benefit from the workout.  So it really doesn't matter if you are an expert or not.  The classes work for each person's level of experience and ability."

Jo Ann P., member of 11 years


"Best gym I have ever been to.  It is so clean you could eat off the floor!"

Megan B., member of 17 years
