In some parts of China, certain gyms have introduced 37-day memberships for women instead of the usual 30 days, and the reason has sparked a lot of discussion online.
The idea behind the extra days is related to menstrual cycles, as some women may choose to take a break from intense workouts during that time.
Gym owners say the extra days help make memberships fairer and more flexible, since some members might miss nearly a week of training each month.
Some women’s gyms also offer lighter workouts or recovery sessions during that time instead of regular high-intensity training.
However, this is important to note: this is not a national rule in China, but rather a policy used by some gyms as a customer-friendly feature and marketing strategy.
Many people online praised the idea, saying it shows consideration for women’s health and schedules, while others debated whether it should be offered everywhere.
The idea has since gone viral on social media, with many people surprised that gym memberships could be adjusted based on biological differences.
Whether it spreads to other countries remains to be seen, but the idea has definitely started a global conversation.
