  • Women's only fitness centers

    Should this be legal? Apparently in CA it isn't. Next they'll be demanding the locker rooms allow equal access. Separate but equal never is, after all.

      Well that's interesting becasue I live in CA, and around the corner from a VERY popular upper end all women's fitness center and health club. It is called Total Woman, and they have been in business for years. Are they operating under illegal pretenses?

        I guess maybe you can do it until someone threatens to sue? The story I was reading said this particular gym changed its policy due to threat of litigation.

        'California's Unruh Civil Rights Act guarantees full and equal accomodations or services in all business establishments regardless of sex.

        A spokeswoman for Curves, the nation's largest chain of franchised health clubs, said the company operates single-sex gyms in states where it's permitted. Becky Frusher acknowledged California is not one of them.


        "If a man wants to join we'll let him in," she said.'

          From looking at their website, they may have women written all over it, but there's no indication they would not allow a man to join. Plus, the spa says open to the public, so that may be sufficient for the property.
