In celebration of International Women’s Day, WIFA launches the most significant global advocacy campaign for women in fitness worldwide- #womenhelpingwomenww 

WIFA (The Association for Women in Fitness and Wellness) and partners are launching the #womenhelpingwomenww campaign on International Women’s Day to celebrate the women working in the fitness sector. WIFA exists for women to champion one another to achieve our ultimate potential so that, together, we can create a diverse and inclusive future for our Industry.  

#womenhelpingwomenww - A BIG Gift and A BIG Impact

Our 2022 International Women’s Day Partners are getting six-month WIFA memberships to GIFT to the women in their companies’ networks AND the opportunity to participate in our Gender Diversity Survey (in partnership with SportAlliance.)

There are many global studies and statistics about women in the workforce.  

We don’t have many specifics to go on in the fitness industry.  WIFA has partnered with SportAlliance to continue this discussion and get a global perspective on gender equity in the fitness sector. Our survey on Gender Diversity is currently being distributed worldwide. The results will be presented in Cologne at the European Health and Fitness Forum on April 6, 2022. Our intention is to build on this report and develop further programmes, training and initiatives that will help encourage more women into leadership positions in the fitness sector..

“This will be our biggest International Women’s Day Campaign ever, and it’s made possible by the commitment of our partners worldwide. We will be reaching hundreds of thousands of women working in the fitness sector. Women helping women is what WIFA is all about, and when women rise, the world rises. Our mission and actions are behind those words every day, and we reaffirm them as we celebrate International Women’s Day.” says Lindsey Rainwater, Founder and CEO of WIFA

WIFA has teamed up with partners all over the world to launch the #womenhelpingwomenww campaign on March 8, 2022, including: Les Mills International, Matrix, Precision Nutrition, Sport Alliance, The American Council on Exercise, Trib3, Escape Fitness, BootCamp Challenge, Basic-Fit, Myzone, Miles Nadal JCC, Title Boxing Club, YMCA Dallas, Fitness Ambassadors, Movati Athletic, Fit Bodies, Struct Club, CleverFit, Urban Sports Clubs, Mindbody, Gympass, Orange Theory Fitness, ANIF, Madison Technical College, Muscle Mixes, Hot Booty Ballet, FitX, ClassX, Easy Fitness, VIVI Rocks, IQ Body, Anytime Fitness, Joint Dynamics and Healthworks Fitness, Activate Fitness Conferences, Think Yourself Academy, Brick Bodies and FLOE Fit.

When one of your values is personal integrity, the road narrows, real quick. What does that mean? Recently I have made a handful of statements and commitments that mean the world to me. Equity and opportunity for those that deserve the opportunity regardless of race, gender, life experiences... I get so fired up about creating safe places for people to thrive. I’ve had more than a few opportunities to make decisions that impact this integral part of my belief system and ya know what, I’ve chosen to stick to my values instead of going with the alternative. Is it easy or “fun” to pass by opportunities, say goodbye or upset people to stay in integrity with my values, nope, not even a little. But you know what it does do, it’s like another squat at the end of a set when I am hitting fatigue, I know if I keep going the next workout I’ll be stronger, the muscle will break down and build itself back up even stronger and more resilient. I look at this photo and I see a woman that has weathered countless storms and chosen sacrifice over comfort. Why does this matter? Because, behind the scenes, behind my eyes is a vigilant determination to do what is right, and, I want that for you. It is so much more fulfilling to sleep at night clear minded than plot out the next move. I love not having anything to remember because I tell the truth. I share in the spirit of making sure anyone interested in the narrow path, to assure you it will not be clear of obstacles, instead... Buckle up, get a good group of people to surround you to champion the hard times and rally with, and let’s change the world, the right way, with integrity. #womenempowerment #womensupportingwomen #womeninbusiness #womenwithintegrity #womeninfitness #wifa #community #integrity
