Empowering Women Through Fitness: A New Approach

Women are redefining fitness, focusing on preparing for the future rather than achieving an ideal body, as highlighted by Katia Stern's perspective. The wellness industry is adapting to address menopause, offering retreats and programs catering to the physical, emotional, and psychological changes women experience during this phase. In Kerala, a women-only fitness center has been established to empower women in rural areas, providing modern equipment and yoga training. Locally, a Sacramento-based women's strength club, Women’s Strength Co, offers a supportive community for women of all fitness levels, emphasizing empowerment and personal growth. The fitness industry is recognizing the importance of catering to menopausal women, with brands like Xplor Mariana Tek and Lifted launching specialized fitness programs to address the unique needs and challenges faced during menopause.
