Getting a couple of days per week in at the gym is an essential part of today’s health conscious woman’s routine. Women’s gyms offer exclusive access only to women, and as a result provide the privacy and comfort many of them seek. Here are some Montreal options for those of you girls having trouble finding the right gym.

United Gym Pour Elle

United Gym Pour Elle, located in Montreal Saint-Leonard, holds multiple classes throughout the day. These classes are separated into beginner, intermediate and advanced levels. The class types range from basic aerobics, to yoga, spinning, Zumba and Latin dance. Membership prices are extremely affordable and once obtained, grant you access to their second location, a mixed gym on Metropolitain Boulevard E, Saint Leonard.
