Shape Up Ladies Fitness Center

Very professional staff.

This is a comfortable, attitude-free place to work out. The friendly staff knows everyone by name, offering a welcoming atmosphere at all times. They will drop what they're doing for one-on-one assistance. When you join, they take your measurements, and then remind you every month to check in to see your progress.

There are a variety of classes (the yoga & Pilates instructors are especially good), and there is even complimentary child-care during certain hours. The rates are extremely reasonable, with many versions of membership, including one-day visits.

This is not a glossy social scene with posturing and posing. It's a place where women of all shapes, sizes and ages feel wanted and welcome.
