EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a group of determined women participating in a Service Fitness Class during their lunch hour in the late 1930s. Dressed in simple yet practical gym attire, they gather in a spacious room with large windows that let in ample natural light. The women are focused on their exercises, some using small hand weights, while others follow the instructions of their instructor, who stands at the front of the room. The scene exudes a sense of camaraderie and community, as the women support and encourage one another during their workout. The class, which was attended twice a week, was part of a larger movement to promote health and fitness among working women during this era. Despite the challenging economic conditions of the time, these women prioritized their health and well-being, taking a break from their daily routines to engage in physical activity. The class provided an opportunity for them to recharge and refocus, returning to their jobs with renewed energy and vitality. The photograph also reveals the practicalities of the time, with a toilet located in the background, a reminder of the importance of hygiene and personal care during exercise. The women's commitment to their fitness regimen is evident in their postures and expressions, as they pass the time and improve their health in this communal setting.
