Get a Workout Without Working Out

Moms can escape to Women's World Fitness Center without feeling guilty.

A night out at the gym, you say? It may not sound like your typical escape, but you’d be amazed how revitalizing a yoga, pilates, Zumba or hip-hop class can be. In fact, it might just be the thing you need.

Women’s World in San Marino is a fitness center for women, run by women. And for one week you can get a trial membership that gives you full access to classes and all of the facilities.

 Whether you’re looking for a slow paced yoga class or an up-beat Zumba dance class, there is something for everyone. Jessica Perea, who is in charge of membership, says “Zumba is a great way to work out without working out. We don’t want anyone to feel intimidated--we’re not that gym.” For those looking for a more serious challenge, there is a six-week Boot Camp which is “a great way to get in shape with a group” says Jessica. Personal trainers are also available.

A huge plus for moms is their baby-sitting service. You can bring a little one (over six months) and there is a play room and a baby-sitter. And if you’re just having one of those days, you can treat yourself to a massage.

Grab a friend and take advantage of a trial membership. Who knows? You may find your new home away from home. Not only are you getting a break, you’ll be doing something good for yourself.
