La Femme Fitness was founded by Sary Barak, a name synonymous with professional care and women’s wellness in Brooklyn for over twenty years. Having spent two decades serving the community through La Femme Spa, Sary’s journey into fitness began when she discovered the transformative power of strength training later in life.

Through her own experience, Sary realized that strength is the ultimate foundation for confidence, resilience, and long-term health. However, she also noticed a gap in the industry: most fitness spaces didn’t account for the realities of a woman’s busy life. She saw that between family, career, and community, women were consistently placing their own well-being last.

Sary founded La Femme Fitness at 327 Kingston Ave to change that narrative. Her mission was to create a professional, modest sanctuary where women are not just another number, but are seen, known, and supported.

"Accountability is a form of care."

This philosophy is at the heart of everything Sary does. She believes that a true wellness partner stays present even when motivation fades. Under Sary’s leadership, La Femme Fitness has become more than a gym—it is a community where Brooklyn women come to build the strength they need to support the lives they love.
