Jetts UK plans to get more women into strength training

Jetts UK has launched a nationwide programme to encourage more women to get into strength training.

The gym chain’s new Active Woman Lifting Club – which was introduced at all of its 22 sites in late 2025 – has been developed to create a more inclusive and supportive environment for women to learn to lift.

It has been designed to help improve technique and build confidence in the weights area – traditionally one of the biggest barriers to female gym participation.

The launch comes at a time when women’s strength training is seeing rapid growth. Recent studies by YouGov show that one in four UK women who strength train are aged 25–34, while 13% of female gym members now cite muscle building as their primary goal.

Reflecting a fundamental shift in consumer behaviour – as female members move beyond traditional cardio and embrace lifting – the UK figures are reflected in women’s strength-based workouts increasing by 25% year-on-year, according to data from an industry report.

Active Woman Lifting Club forms part of Jetts UK’s strategy to evolve its offering for both members and business owners, ensuring clubs remain aligned with market demand and fitness trends.
