100 Women We Love 2006

Meet the class of 2006

Dowega Blake & Fleshia Ingram

Jersey City personal trainer Ingram and her partner, media communications and PR expert Blake, used to wonder why gay men tended to stay in better physical shape than lesbians. This curiosity led the duo to the decision to open a gym catering specifically to gay couples. One year ago, “Fee” and “Dee” opened Find a Way Fitness, a 24-hour gym located in the heart of Journal Square in Jersey City. Through a program called Project Gay Outreach, they offer two-for-one training for gay couples on Sundays. “One of our most famous mottos in our gym is ‘Find A Way’,” said Ingram. “We at FAW Fitness would like to see more gyms such as ours thrive.” The women are currently raising funds to open another location.
