THE City of Delta’s Parks, Recreation and Culture department has launched a new programming opportunity for self-guided women’s only workout sessions at Sungod Recreation Centre. This dedicated program provides a supportive, inclusive space for women in Delta to get active.

The initiative for the women’s only workout sessions was developed from patron feedback that indicated a need for a comfortable and private space, exclusive for women. The goal of this program is to create a safe environment for women to engage in physical activity, improve their fitness, and foster a supportive community.

“Creating safe, inclusive spaces is a priority for the City of Delta, especially when it comes to recreation,” said Trent Reid, General Manager, Parks, Recreation and Culture. “Our fitness staff heard the feedback from our community and provided this dedicated program to ensure that everyone who uses our facilities has the opportunity to feel comfortable and achieve their fitness goals. Our recreation and community centres are meant to be used by everyone and this initiative furthers our commitment to fostering a welcoming environment.”

Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, from 3-5 p.m., the aerobics studio will be open for women’s only fitness. The sessions are unstructured, with participants leading their own programs with the equipment available in the studio, including weights, mats, stationary bikes, and more. A Delta Fitness staff member will be available to participants every 15 minutes to answer questions and assist participants during the session.

The women’s only workout sessions are open to all women 13 years of age and older, regardless of fitness experience. While advanced registration is not required, participants can reserve a spot through the online registration system.
