Ms Higley said Strong Women's Club is a "community of women that are pushing the boundaries at a certain age."
"These women have got to a stage where they aren't going to punish their bodies by eating less and moving more.
"They are going to celebrate what they can do and focus on nourishing their bodies
"We facilitate that by offering a really fun and safe space."
She said when we started "we kept saying there must be somewhere that women can feel supported, feel safe and have a really good laugh."
"Our classes are just really brilliant and the time flies," she added.
Ms Steven said: "We want to change the way women experience the gym."
She explained that as women get older, they should be "embracing a bit of weight lifting".
She said: "Research shows we need to be lifting, for our bone health, for maintaining our muscle mass and even gaining more muscle mass, for our longevity, especially for women it is really important."
She added: "Sometimes as an older woman you feel like you don't know where to start and there is so much information out there that it is overwhelming.
"The information out there isn't always great information which is why we are here to offer support, we'll hold your hand in the progress so you gain confidence."
