We had the good fortune of connecting with Shakila Lee and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Shakila, is there something that you feel is most responsible for your success?
At the Ladies Athletic Club of Dallas, community and camaraderie stand as the cornerstone of its success as a premier social club dedicated to promoting feminine fitness. Here, the graceful balance between elegance and strength is nurtured through shared experiences and supportive relationships. Members find that their collective commitment to fitness fosters an environment where soft, yet resilient, bonds are formed. This sense of unity not only enhances individual wellness but also enriches the club’s atmosphere, making it a sanctuary where women can pursue their fitness goals while enjoying the warmth and encouragement of a close-knit community.

What should our readers know about your business?
The vision of LADIES ATHLETIC CLUB OF DALLAS (LACD) is to establish the premier athletic and social club for professional women in Dallas, distinguished by our unwavering commitment to physical wellness, professional growth, and vibrant social engagement.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Giving my best friend the ultimate DAY IN THE LIFE OF A LACD VIP MEMBER would be an awesome way for her to experience a mini version of some key benefits of being a member of our social club. For a day filled with activity and variety, I would start with a round of golf in the early morning at PopStroke in Grandscape. The crisp air and the dew on the grass would set a peaceful tone as we navigate the course, focusing on our swing and enjoying the camaraderie of fellow golfers. Afterwards, time for some fast-paced fun with a game of pickleball at Chicken N Pickle. The quick movements and competitive rallies would keep us on our toes, blending athleticism with strategy. Not slowing down, we would head to a bungee fitness class at Bungee One Studio in Colleyville, where the elastic cords would add a new dimension to our workout, combining cardio with resistance training in a fun, gravity-defying experience. The day would wrap up with a hot yoga class at Soul Sweat Yoga where the warmth of the room and the flowing poses helped you stretch and unwind, leaving you feeling both invigorated and relaxed by the end of it all. We would be sure to make a couple of pit stops for quick food at Soirée Coffee Bar in Trinity Groves, since all LACD members receive a 10% discount on all orders & one free coffee a month! 😉
