Many of the classes available at Welch Fitness Center are cardio related and extremely female dominated. Furthermore, there is a stigma that women use the top floor of Lilly's gym and males do the weight lifting downstairs. Although there are exceptions to both of these circumstances, the gender divide in the gym is enough to draw attention and uncomfortable feelings. By electronically signing below, you are indicating that you wish to put a stop to the divide by having a weekly class that informs women, and only women, how to weight lift in order for them to feel more comfortable with their bodies in all locations of Welch.
