What it ISN"T

• No "boot camp" mentality pushing you beyond your limit. This is NOT the Army! YOU set your limit with professional guidance. It's designed to be sustainable, enjoyable, and lifelong. 

Bring your dog, bring a friend, or simply come as you are.

Start where you are. Stay for who you become.

The "Start Here" Women’s Collective is a free women’s fitness group in Brooksville, Florida designed for women who want to improve their health, build confidence, and connect with like-minded women in a supportive environment.

Whether you are brand new to exercise, getting back into fitness after a long break, or simply looking for a positive women’s wellness community, this program is designed for you.

This program is for any woman who wants to improve her health, become more active, and feel stronger physically and mentally.

You do not need to be a runner to join.

Many women in the group will be walking, taking breaks, and building up gradually. The goal is not perfection. The goal is progress.

If you have ever said:

• “I’m out of shape.”
• “I don’t know where to start.”
• “I need motivation.”
• “I want to feel healthier and stronger.”

Then this women’s fitness program in Brooksville 

is for you.

Yes. The "Start Here" Women’s Collective is completely free.

There is nothing to buy, no membership required, and no hidden sales pitch. This program was created as a way to give back to women in the local community and help make healthy living more accessible.

Expect to have fun and feel great! Every week will have:

• A 40 minute walk/jog. You set your pace. Build your distance/strength/endurance as the weeks go by. 
• 15 minute health or exercise topic discussion
• Guidance on exercise form and injury prevention.
• Handouts on the "how to" of getting healthier for longevity and independence.

What Should I Bring?

• Water, sunscreen, a hat, bug spray
• Whatever comfortable walking shoes  you have. No need to buy anything new!
• Comfortable clothes. Wear whatever you feel "at home" in.
