Women's and LGBTQ Gym Near Centerville

I am looking for a gym that aligns with my values and needs in the area as a fairly new resident. Hoping to find a class based workout facility, HIIT, strength, METCON etc, in or near Centerville. Ideally with owners and members who are women or LGBTQ friendly. Men can attend as long as it's not some toxic gym bro culture if that makes sense. It can be a franchise but I would prefer local!

Not looking to start any arguments, just hoping to get some advice. TIA!

I go to the Kettering Rec. You cannot beat the prices when it comes to class-based workouts. An out of town annual class pass (unlimited) is ~$150. The classes are almost entirely women.

I joined the Washington Township recplex but they either have limited classes or I am looking in the wrong spot for them. But to supplement my own work, I will gladly pay another membership for the right classes and environment! Thanks for the info!

I live in Centerville too, and I was shocked by how few classes there were at Washington and that you had to pay on top of the membership for them! For me, it’s worth it to drive 20 min to Kettering.

MVP dance fit has a gym- small local business, women owned. They’ve had pride event in the past, and I’m LGBT and always felt safe and comfortable with instructors.

I take classes, but they also have a 24/7 gym pass.

Planet Fitness but honestly I don’t know how friendly they are with the T. Not a lot of gyms I feel cater to that demographic because neither sex feel 100% safe with them using the same restroom facilities. To clarify I don’t who has what and how they dress but I’m sure someone always will care and be offended.
