Women's Only

Sports & Recreation strives to provide safe and inclusive spaces for all of its members by offering Women's Only programming and spaces for female-identifying members. In collaboration with the Western EDI office, the following wording was developed to help regulate the spaces:

Sports and Recreation asks that individuals trust the people using these spaces, and respect everyone's right to choose to participate in programming that is appropriate for them. 

Women's Only STUDIO TIME: 

Sports & Recreation offers Women's Only studio times. Availability may vary, but hours can be found on the Western Rec App under the 'Women's Only' icon. This space offers: studio bars, dumbells, stability balls, steps, and mats.


Please note: Male staff may come to the door of the studio for statistical purposes and may need to enter the space in the case of an emergency.
