IWD: Join Fitness World in Empowering Women
Who runs the world? Girls! On March 8th, 2024, Fitness World proudly celebrated International Women's Day (IWD) – a day to honor the remarkable social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women worldwide.
In a recent blog, Fitness World honored this day by celebrating the strides made towards women's equality, while also recognizing the ongoing efforts needed in every aspect of life. International Women's Day fuels our determination to create a world where gender equality is the standard.
Suter Brook Fitness World, a local gym in Port Moody, BC is an inclusive gym dedicated to body positivity, mental wellness, and fostering a safe environment for everyone. Select clubs even offer dedicated women-only spaces! Discover the IWD 2024 theme and how Fitness World is making a difference.
#InspireInclusion: Let's make it happen in 2024!
International Women's Day changes its theme yearly to raise awareness about issues affecting women. This year, it’s inclusion, with the hashtag #InspireInclusion. It emphasizes the importance of creating spaces where women feel valued, included, and empowered. At Suter Brook Fitness World, they're committed to building safe and inclusive environments in their gyms every day!
Celebrate the women in your life! Acknowledge their successes, support their goals, and make sure they feel respected and included everywhere. That’s right, hype up your girls! You can also be an ally, someone who supports, learns, and advocates for women. Push for gender equality and create inclusive spaces, like gyms, where everyone feels safe and empowered. That's the Fitness World promise!
