WOMEN
FIT TO
LEAD
A Tribute to Strength,
Community and Resilience
When Fernwood Fitness founder Diana
Williams was approached to share the
Fernwood story in a book, she knew
it couldn’t just be her story - it had to
include the voices of the incredible women
who built Fernwood alongside her. That
spark became Women Fit to Lead, a
heartfelt collection of stories from over
40 Fernwood franchisees that soared
to Amazon Bestseller status within
days of its release. Together, they share
the triumphs, struggles, and unshakable
determination that have shaped
Australia’s leading women-only health
and 昀椀tness network.
This book is more than a
celebration of business
success; it’s a
raw, honest look
into the lives
of the women
who dared to
dream big. Each
chapter brings to
life the challenges
they faced and
the triumphs they
celebrated—balancing motherhood,
overcoming societal expectations, and
running their own businesses with the
unshakable belief that empowering
women is always worth the effort.
“Fernwood’s strength lies in its
community,” Diana shared. “This book is
proof of what women can achieve when
we believe in ourselves and each other. It’s
more than our story—it’s a testament to
what’s possible when we work together.”
From a small women-only gym in Bendigo,
Diana’s dream grew into a nationwide
network of over 70 clubs, each dedicated
to creating spaces where women feel
strong, supported, and unstoppable.
Inspiring, relatable, and uplifting, Women
Fit to Lead is for anyone who believes
in the power of women. Whether you’re
chasing a dream, looking for courage,
or simply need a reminder of your own
strength, this book is a must-read.
