Meet the Founder

The Pink Gym was founded not just from a weight loss journey, but from a deeper understanding of what true wellness means.


As someone with a master’s degree in Public Health, I’ve seen firsthand how physical activity transforms lives — not just physically, but mentally and emotionally. But it wasn’t until I experienced an injury myself that I truly embraced the power of slowing down.

That shift helped me appreciate the importance of low-impact movement — like mat Pilates — that supports the core, encourages flexibility, and prioritizes long-term joint health. It reminded me that fitness isn’t about pushing harder, it’s about moving smarter.

At The Pink Gym, I’m proud to offer a space where women can feel strong, safe, and seen — whether they're lifting weights or just learning to reconnect with their bodies.
