Umayyah Women's Gym

07/30/2025

An update: so far, there’s been 35 women who have expressed interest in a women’s only gym opening in Ottawa through the website. Thank you for that and for sharing your ideas on what you’d like to see and do in your women’s only gym.

Moving forward as this is a long-term goal, following the page and sharing the website with your friends and family and asking them to share their ideas/submit their interest is the best possible way to support an initiative and project like this.

Umayyah is community first. Join the movement to consider adding a social game room where board games and Nintendo Switch games are available.

i know this might sound crazy but i’ve been dreaming of opening a women’s-only gym in ottawa.
no men. no judgment. no feeling like you have to shrink yourself.

just a space where we can breathe, lift, pray, study, connect.

it’s called Umayyah.
i’m building it from scratch — i don’t have a big team or investors. it’s just me and the vision.

if you think ottawa needs this, i’d love for you to check out the website & join the movement.
i need your support to bring this to life.

I haven’t been active here in a while, but Umayyah is still alive in my heart—and it’s something I deeply want to bring to life for all of us.

Umayyah is a women-only gym designed for our community: a space where we feel safe, seen, and strong. A place with a prayer room, study zone, gym space, and most importantly—no judgment.

I’ve already had over a dozen women sign up on the website and show interest (thank you)—and I’m picking this back up now to make it a reality insha’Allah.

If this is something you’d want to be part of, let me know below or message me. I’m building slowly, but I’m building it with you.

Why Umayyah?

Why are women's gym spaces often hidden in small rooms or tucked in grocery stores? At Umayyah, we're saying NO MORE. Women deserve a space that’s fully equipped, supportive, and welcoming.

Let’s build it together. It's not impossible, just a lot of work. Learn more about the initiative: umayyahwomensgym.com
