I have been a member of the FCFW for 8 years now and absolutely love it. The members are so welcoming and really make you feel like you're part of the community. The classes are challenging and available for all levels. My favorites are the Capoeira and Barr Sculpt classes. If you're looking to join a gym that will support you in your progress to get in shape...this is the one to try.

The foyer is neat and elegant, the music doesn't rock the building, and there are no men in the large aerobics class or the workout room across the hall. The Fitness Club for Women, in Wellesley since 1992, is a gym with a bit of finesse. In addition to a full class schedule, the fitness center houses a Pilates studio for certified Power Pilates instructor Marisa Petraglia and Future Shapes personal trainers.

I love this club! The staff is warm and inviting and so is the environment. I participated in many classes and enjoyed them all. The instructors are very knowledgable with modifications are given for all levels. They offer capoeira class's which is a fun form of Brazilian martial arts which incorporates elements of music, dance and martial arts. It was challenging and fun. They are the only club to offer this class. Their childcare staff is mature and very nurturing. I did not know what to expect but was pleasantly surprised!
