A women-only gym has opened and is dedicated to keeping women “safe and comfortable” when exercising.
Katie Maddock, Ashley Barth, and Lucy Maddock met while they were all working at Pure Gym and decided they wanted to open a safe space for women to train and learn about exercise. At the time, Katie and Ashley were her personal trainers and Lucy was her manager and assistant at the gym.
The three found that women often didn’t feel comfortable in the weights area of the gym and wanted to save up to make their dreams come true. Ahead of Girl Code’s opening, Katy, 26, told her ECHO:
