History

Established in 2006.

Get In Shape For Women was founded in 2006 by Brian Cook after 15 years of leadership in personal training and franchise sales. Brian’s intention was to create much more than a women’s gym. He wanted to create a complete fitness program for women, combining such activities as cardio and weight training for women with nutrition information for a healthy diet and accountability through personal trainers.

Brian knew from experience that a personal trainer has great value and knew that all members of Get In Shape For Women could get the results they’ve always wanted with the education and motivation provided by personal training. He developed a unique concept called Small Group Personal Training, where a personal trainer works with up to 4 women. And the most effective program ever for women’s fitness, weight-​loss and body transformation was created.
