Since 1977, Healthworks Fitness has been demonstrating The Power of Women.
This October, Healthworks and Republic Fitness are celebrating their anniversary and the right to exist. The challenges they've overcome have made the brand stronger than ever. In 1997, a man sued Healthworks claiming that an all-women’s club was discriminatory. The members and staff worked hard in court to fight for the right to exist. While they lost in court, in 1998, Governor Paul Celucchi signed into law allowing single-sex clubs to operate.
Healthworks is more than a gym. This is a community of strong and empowered women. And Healthworks Fitness is here to stay!
