How We Differ

Most fitness and nutrition programs are one-size-fits-all. Yours should be built around you.

A 72-year-old and a 45-year-old should not be doing the same program. At our Lexington and Acton studios, every workout is written for the woman doing it: your goals, your starting point, the shoulder that acts up when the weather turns. That is what personal training should mean, and it is how we have trained women in Massachusetts for more than ten years.

The Fitter Female Transformation System

Wondering how many people you’ll be sharing a session with? One trainer, up to six women: that’s the whole room. Here are the three commitments every membership is built on.

1Get Fitter

Stronger, steadier, and more capable in everyday life.

Your first session doesn’t start with a workout. It starts with a conversation and simple movement testing, so your trainer knows exactly where you’re starting from before you ever pick up a weight. From there you get a workout prescribed to you: designed by University degreed exercise physiologists, matched to your level whether you’re brand new or have trained for years, and refreshed every single visit so it never goes stale.

Everything we do is functional strength, the kind that carries groceries, keeps up with grandkids, and makes the stairs feel ordinary again. And because you train alongside up to five other women with one trainer guiding the room, you get personal-training attention without the personal-training price.

2Be Healthy

Nutrition coaching built in, not sold separately.

Workouts are half the story. Every membership includes nutrition coaching from the same team that trains you each week, so the guidance fits your actual life rather than a printout. No crash plans and no forbidden-food lists: just steady, realistic coaching on the habits that move you toward your goals.

You’ll also sit down regularly for accountability appointments, and members get a monthly InBody 570 body composition assessment. It’s quick and non-invasive, and it lets you see your progress in more than just a number on a scale.

3Give Back

A portion of every membership is donated to charity.

This one is simple: every month, a portion of every membership is donated to charitable organizations. It has been part of how this studio runs for years, quietly, without a billboard about it.

So while you’re showing up for yourself, your membership is also quietly showing up for someone else. We think that’s a better way to run a gym.

Your membership gives back

Get Fitter and Be Healthy are promises we make to you. Give Back is the one we make together: a portion of every monthly membership goes to charitable organizations, every single month. It has been that way for years.

Rebecca Staten Member — 80 lbs down
“I’ve been working with Glenn, he is awesome and keeps me motivated and accountable. I have a new way of eating with his diet plan … I’ve lost 41 lbs already and have another 40 or so to go. You will be very happy at The Fitter Female in Lexington.”
Karen Caira Member, Lexington — 41 lbs down
“I began Fitter Female in Acton on a 3-week trial almost a year ago. The small group workout sessions are perfect, because the trainers can give personal attention and recommendations to each member of the group.”
