Women on Weights

Why a program just for women? Women need to strength train for different reasons than men. Due to various stereotypes and weight room culture, most women do not partake in a regular strength training program. Regular strength training can help make everyday activities easier. Studies show that strength training helps reduce bone loss, prevent osteoporosis, and decreases sarcopenia which can make aging healthier and more enjoyable. In addition, regular strength training at or above professional recommendations can help with weight and fat loss.

Classes and programs are open to both Duke Health and Fitness Center members and non-members. Members and non-members must register through the online portal, mobile app (Apple App Store, Google Play Store), or by calling prior to the class.
