The Center For Womens' Fitness

The Center for Women’s Fitness is committed to the education and empowerment of women through every stage of their lives Our programs are designed for women from the ground up. We teach from the female anatomy and physiology, the feminine psyche and include all the subtle bodies – the emotional, mental and spiritual that have an impact on the physical. We understand the different needs of the woman as she exercises through pregnancy, postnatal, menopause and the later years of her life and how these changes affect her fitness needs and goals.

The Movement Method™ is a comprehensive exercise curriculum that has been designed for women by women. It is based on the female anatomy and physiology with program design for the different stages of a women’s life. The Movement Method™ will inform the instructor on the differences in application to exercise for the female body and includes the emotional, mental and spiritual aspects of the feminine psyche.

The Movement Methodâ„¢, through coursework will encourage women to be more knowledgeable of their physical bodies, to appreciate their differences and to take responsibility for their own health and fitness.

We teach fitness of the body, mind and spirit

The Center for Women’s Fitness was founded by Carolyne Anthony in 1994 as way to get fit, stay active and connect with other women as a stay at home mom. She focused on fitness, pilates, ballet and more in her small basement studio, all the while listening to the stories of the women she was serving. The stories of gym intimidation and the challenges of staying fit while pregnant inspired the creation of the Prenatal Pilates program that has grown into the international teacher training program we offer today.

All of The Center’s programs are developed to address the physiological changes that happen throughout a woman’s life. Our exercise programs are designed to support these changes instead of fighting them, and focus on movements that prepare women for childbirth, recovery, and the fitness challenges and opportunities as we age. As women, we have many gifts. We cannot separate the physical body from our other subtle bodies.

Today, we offer programs and teacher trainings around the world that help women balance their physical, emotional and spiritual bodies through all stages of life. We believe you can be fit and strong at 20 years old, and fitter and stronger at 60 years old.
