Hijab-Friendly Fitness Classes in Singapore

“Where do you always go for yoga?”

“How was your Piloxing class last night”

“I have a free pass for Zumba later, do you want to join me?”

Ladies, I think it’s safe to say that we’re no strangers to questions like these. The rise of female-only gyms makes it easier for females to work out without drawing weird stares from buff males (who hog the stations for hours). Everyone should have the right and privilege to work out in an environment where they feel most comfortable.

There is one tiny concern about female-only gyms and fitness classes though. Some of these classes involve male fitness instructors and trainers which might not sit well for those wearing the hijab. Hence, we’ve sussed out three hijab-friendly fitness jaunts where you can feel at complete ease while burning all those calories! 

1. Her Tribe

Her Tribe was founded back in 2013 by Nura Ahmad, a colon cancer survivor. After conducting holistic wellness classes in the heartlands, Her Tribe finally found a home in a comfortable wellness space in Wis@Changi. Opt to partake in their signature Yoga & Cardio wellness classes.

Whether you take it up a notch with Piloxing (a mix of Pilates, boxing and dancing) and Cardio Blast or decide to go for something slow like Aroma Flow, these classes will definitely leave you feeling invigorated.
