About Us

Ladies First Fitness Center is Lynchburg’s only full-service “ladies-only” fitness facility. Our staff members have extensive experience working strictly in the area of women’s health and fitness. We believe that by engaging in a fitness program, along with eating nutritionally complete meals, a stronger body can be created that is more resistant to disease. It is a proven fact that exercise makes you feel confident, stronger, leaner, and more energetic. Exercise is the only real “Fountain of Youth”!

Our FUN Group Fitness Classes are an effective way to tone up, lose weight, and enjoy yourself while doing it. We offer over 30 classes to choose from each week. Classes are taught by motivating instructors, with awesome, high-energy music. Our programs are easy-to-follow, for ALL fitness levels! Ladies First Fitness Center is proud to be one of the few facilities in the area to be licensed by Les Mills International (www.lesmillsusa.com). These results-oriented classes straight from New Zealand - “BODYPUMP®, BODYSTEP® and BODYFLOW®” - are designed by some of the top fitness professionals in the world!
