Meredith
Fagan set a fairly lofty goal.
“I wanted to create an experience that is exciting
for the athletic woman, fun and productive for the average
woman, and encouraging and supportive for the woman
who has never exercised,” she explains.
And that goal manifested one year ago when the doors
of North Carolina’s only up-scale fitness center
for women, Carolina Woman (www.carolinawomanfitness.com),
opened in the Lake Norman area.
At Carolina Woman, we work with women who are real life
adults who have kids, family issues, and who often just
don’t feel good about the shape they are in but
don’t know where to turn for help,” says owner
and General Manager Meredith Fagan. “Our club was
designed for people who want to work out in an adult
environment but need help getting started and staying
motivated.”
Carolina Woman’s philosophy is simple. Fitness
is not just about what happens within their walls. If
you are going to get the results that have alluded you
in other places and on other attempts, then you not
only need the programming and support while inside the
facility, but also the support, information and confidence
to continue your fitness journey beyond their walls.
So what does this entail? For starters, Carolina Woman
offers group fitness classes that go “beyond local
instructors designing their own classes” and are
instead based on Body Training Systems (BTS), an internationally
recognized licensing and certification program. They
also adopted Weight Management System as the “company
of choice” by which to structure a weight management
approach, including nutritional products designed for
women only and full on-line support so you can stay
motivated and accountable through your home computer.
Carolina Woman also offers a few special “amenities”
including a nationally known juice bar, childcare, tanning
and, in the near future, a full on-site day spa.
Meredith cites her mother as a great inspiration and
in strengthening her belief that women deserve to have
an upscale atmosphere that is clean, safe and non-threatening.
“Her personal fitness struggle encompassed the
frustration that so many women share,” she explains.
“That mainstream fitness centers just don’t
‘get’ women and their special needs and fitness
requirements. We are the first women’s only fitness
center in the state that combines fitness with all the
amenities that make it both fun and interesting. ”
And Carolina Woman must be doing something right. January
2006 marks their first anniversary and a celebration
of a whole new approach to women’s fitness. Meredith
invites you to consider making Carolina Woman part of
your day…a place with no spouse, no kids, no boss,
and no phones…just you.
Congratulations Meredith Fagan and Carolina Woman on
a successful first year!
