New Gym For Women In Tulsa Offers Daily Workout Classes, Childcare

A new gym in Tulsa is empowering women through fitness.

BLUSH Boot Camp is a franchise with locations across the country. Nicole Dieckmann is from the Kansas City area and joined BLUSH three years ago. Then she opened one of her own in Tulsa in early February at 8383 S Memorial Dr.

"I was just a mom of four suffering from postpartum, went in looking for community, needing some support, and found BLUSH," said Dieckmann.

Choosing the right environment is a big factor for a lot of women when joining a gym.

"I know a lot of people get gym shy before they go, so that was definitely me," said Anna Stewart.

However, she did not feel that way at BLUSH.

"There is nothing quite like it," said Stewart. "It is women only, you walk in, you feel comfortable, you are not having to worry about walking across the gym, or who is judging you."

From the workouts to the mostly pink equipment, everything at BLUSH is catered to women.

"It is literally for all women of all different stages of fitness," said Dieckmann.

The movements change daily, and no two workouts are the same. Stewart said she appreciates that the programming also emphasizes strength training.

"Cardio is great, but really weights are what builds your body and your muscles," she added. "So, for that part of it, that is what excited me."

For others, like Mayuri Patel, she was looking for a gym that would help her lose weight postpartum.

"Since they have childcare, I can bring my baby with me," she said. "It is all the more motivation to show our babies that hey, moms can do it."

The BLUSH Kid's Club is a free service with interactive play offered during the busiest class times.

It is just another way the gym helps women reach their goals both physically and mentally. Dieckmann said for her it was losing nearly 80 pounds and gaining a community.

"I always tell people all the friends that I have now I met on that gym floor and we do life together and our kids do life together, so it has just impacted me in so many positive ways," she added.
