    There might actually be more women than men who go to my gym. If not, it is as about as close to 50/50 as possible. Then again, it isn't a chain gym either which means they don't have a ton of clientele, and most people who go there are very serious lifters/bodybuilders.

    Bella Falconi. That's some serious motivation! Something to aspire to.

    THIS^^^ why does it matter OhioGuy37 who she chooses to use as her profile pic and Bella Falconi ......great choice! :)

    Love reading threads about women feeling comfortable in the free weights section. It makes me do a snoopy happy dance :):):)

    Usually a profile pic implies that it's you, a snapshot of your body in this case- clearly it's not.

    I am often the only girl, but I've gotten over the awkwardness of being the girl lifting heavier than most of the guys next to me. In fact, I have found a handful of male workout partners who just accept my natural ability to lift heavy stuff. I won't say that I don't work, but I also have to admit that I've always been stronger than most women anyway.

    When I joined my gym 6 years ago, I would see maybe two women lifting. Fast forward to today, it's maybe 25% of the people lifting are female.
