INEZ — A women-only gym in Inez provides a safe fitness haven for hundreds of women.

Owner of Linder’s Gymsters Linda Slone said she had always wanted to open a gym that caters to women.

“I wanted a women-only gym because women need that safe place to go, a nonjudgmental environment with like-minded ladies,” Slone said.

The same day Slone was released from her former job during the coronavirus pandemic, she went from daydreaming to opening Linder’s Gymsters.

“Literally that same day, the building I’m in became available,” Slone said.

Linder’s opened in July 2020, featuring state-of-the-art equipment and personal and group training and coaching.

Training rooms include treadmills, ellipticals, rowers, bicycles, recumbent bicycles, weights, dumbbells, squat racks, pull-up bars, dip bars, leg extension curls and various other equipment for stretching and warming up.

“There’s something for every woman to meet her health and training needs,” said Slone, an ISSA-certified master trainer, personal trainer, nutritionist, group fitness instructor and kickboxing, yoga and pilates teacher.

“I offer cardio, intensity, kickboxing, running, yoga and pilates classes.”

Linder’s Gymsters also offers a hula hoop class one evening a week.

A gym membership is $25 a month.

Linder’s is open 24/7 at 44 Cline Complex in Inez. Call them at (606) 225-7841 and get your fitness on.
