About QAWIYA

The goal of QAWIYA is simple: to change the narrative about women and strength.

Growing up, we heard it all—
“Strength training is for men.”
“You’ll get too bulky.”
But we saw things differently. As women, we knew we could be both feminine and strong—these weren’t mutually exclusive.

That’s when QAWIYA was born.

The name means “strong women” in Arabic, and it perfectly captures our vision. We set out to create more than just a fitness studio—we wanted to build a community where women could discover their strength without judgment, pressure, or limitations.

We also believe that every woman deserves a safe, private space to train with confidence—free from distractions or outside eyes. QAWIYA is that space.

To us, QAWIYA represents the power that lives in every woman, just waiting to be unleashed. Whether you’re touching a barbell for the first time or training for your next competition, there’s a place for you here.

Join us—and show the world just how strong women can be.
