UK: New women-only gym opens in Nelson

Story here. Excerpt:
'A NEW gym which caters solely for women has opened its doors in Pendle.
Owner Kate Turner said membership numbers were growing and many women had commented on the relaxed, friendly atmosphere as they were shaping up for summer with the help of experienced and supportive staff.
She explained that the gym provided a new concept in fitness, with members completing a 30-minute "circuit" comprising a three-minute warm-up, three-minute exercises on a selection of femnale-friendly resistance machines and then three minutes of stretches at the end - hence the name "In and Out"!'

This is not unusual. There are many such gyms. It is a sort of marketing gimmick but none the less its all another step on the road we are on.
female friendly resistance machines
don't they have those little metal pins you can use to change the weight amount? Duh.

More female sexism
Here in Sydney we have tons of these women only gyms, but of course we are not allowed any male only gyms. Sexism is all it is, it's the feminist's way of saying "Women deserve more privileges than men." For five years i've been going to a unisex gym and never have i heard of anyone being harassed, and when the girls want to work out they just use the smaller dumbbells or a small number of plates. Women who go to female only gyms are sexist cows and i wouldnt want anything to do with them.
I was a regular gym member from 1986-2001
In all that time, not only did I never see a guy make a pass or even start a conversation with a woman who was a stranger; I never even saw any guy staring at a woman. Fifteen years, and not once did I see it. The gym is not a meat market.
Businesses only do this because they know there is a market for 'women-only' these days. It plays into the hands of ideological feminists - who ultimately would like men and women to be separated.
