Grab your workout gear and head over to Medfield's best fitness center, , voted by Medfield Patch readers.

We asked you this week to tell us where the best fitness center in town was and after a week of polling, the readers have spoken – choosing on Main Street!

Our readers will be working out at the women only fitness center at 258 Main St., as Get in Shape for Women claimed 162 of the poll's 206 votes (78 percent) to beat on Ice House Road (14 of 206 votes, 6 percent). finished third with 15 votes (6 percent).

Get in Shape for Women owner Liz McGill opened the facility last February and has enjoyed plenty of success in the first 13 months of business. McGill said she always wanted to open a business and has been "thrilled" with her experience running Get in Shape for Women in Medfield.

McGill said in the article she knew the fitness center was special the minute she first got involved with the franchise – joining as a client. She added that she became an owner because she wanted to help women take their health back.

"I was working out at a very high level … [because] I discovered that all I needed was someone to coach me," McGill said. "When I joined, as a client, I saw women losing 10, 20 … even 50 pounds. The program gives back health and also gives back confidence ... I knew that I wanted to do this for the rest of my life. I wanted to help women take their health back.”

McGill was thrilled with Friday's news that Get in Shape for Women was Medfield Patch's readers' choice for best fitness center in town.

"We are so lucky to be part of the Medfield community and we are so proud of this award," McGill said. "We just celebrated our first anniversary and are approaching capacity. We have a number of Medfield clients who have completely transformed - lost 50-plus pounds, are off their cholesterol medications, in the best shape of their lives."

Get in Shape for Women provides a personal trainer for each session and there is a personalized nutrition program, mapped out for the clients by the Get In Shape staff.
