The story of shefitness.hu
Shefitness.hu was founded by Kata Szakál in 2016, based on the realization that many women are not afraid of the exercises but of the gym environment. The concept: closed private rooms where only the client and the female trainer are present – no audience, no queueing. From the first studio near WestEnd a network has grown: today there are studios on the Pest side of Margaret Bridge and the Buda side of Árpád Bridge, in Allee (at two locations), in Városmajor, in Székesfehérvár, and from 2024 also in Marbella. A franchise system launched in 2022, and English-speaking trainers also work on the team.

Experienced, independent trainers
The table shows: the question is not "better or worse", but what gives you a sense of safety. Someone who has been putting off training for years because they felt uncomfortable at the mirror wall will find that a private room removes exactly the barrier that kept them from ever starting. Someone who is experienced, knows the machines well, and is looking for a good-value membership will still find an open gym a good choice. Personal training for women in the private model is about having someone there at every repetition who corrects, counts and motivates.
What do clients say?
"For years I didn't dare go to a gym. Here, from the very first minute, it was just my trainer and me in the room – within six months it became my favourite hour of the week." — R. Nóra, returning beginner, client feedback from the company's reference page
"I train at Margaret Bridge after work. Working out with a female trainer in a closed space, I feel completely different than in a crowded gym." — D. Anna, office worker client, client feedback from the company's reference page
"As an expat, the English-speaking trainer made it easy to start – no crowds, no staring, just focused training." — Sarah, international client, client feedback from the company's reference page
How to decide, and what's the next step?
- Ask yourself: has the gym environment been what kept me away? If yes, choose a private studio.
- Do you need external accountability? Booking an appointment at a women's fitness studio removes the "I'll postpone it" option.
- Does language matter? The shefitness.hu team includes English-speaking trainers.
- Don't guess the price: the private and membership models are structured differently, so request a quote directly from the studio.
