OUR VISION
Empowering Women to be Strong
Empowering Women to be Strong
Healthworks and everything we stand for has been woven into the fabric of Boston’s fitness community since 1977. That longevity and success have always been guided by a singular focus: elevating the power of women through wellness and connection to each other and their inner selves. It’s easy to think of power as purely physical, but we know it’s so much more than that. Power is emotional, mental and innate too. It can be built during an intense group workout or a session with one of our personal trainers, but it’s also built in the quieter moments of meditative yoga or a therapeutic massage. We create a space where our members can find and cultivate all facets of their power in whatever ways they see fit.
There’s nothing more powerful than women supporting women. For far too long, many aspects of our society have pitted women against each other in competition instead of collaboration. Not at Healthworks. Our women-centered clubs are intentional spaces for connection because we know that meaningful friendships and a supportive community play a vital role in physical and mental wellness. Whether it’s on the workout floor, in a group fitness class or during teamTRAINING, we’ve worked hard to create an atmosphere where women revel in each other’s successes and celebrate their true selves within the walls of our gyms and beyond.
In the Healthworks community, no one gets left out of the empowerment, joy and wellness that come from movement. From membership fees to the cost of transportation, we know access to high-quality fitness opportunities, health education and well-being services doesn’t come without barriers. Since its founding in 1998, Healthworks Community Fitness has been our way of breaking them down in Boston’s historically underserved neighborhoods. Our nonprofit is dedicated to moving the needle on health equity by providing high-quality fitness and wellness education to women and children in Dorchester, Mattapan and Roxbury.
Healthworks strives to create a community in our clubs in which individuals are seen, recognized, and celebrated regardless of their background, race, gender, gender identity, age and fitness level.
Healthworks is a place for women and non-binary people to focus on themselves and elevate both their physical and inner power in a women centered space.
