In this conservative kingdom, many sports are typically seen as male-dominated, but Halah is determined to change that narrative. Women training here are not only learning boxing techniques but also gaining tools to strengthen their mental resilience and embrace an active lifestyle. The opening of this gym reflects broader social and cultural changes in Jeddah and across Saudi Arabia.
Opportunities for women in sports, fitness, and competitive athletics are expanding, allowing for new forms of expression and achievement. The gym also serves as a hub for networking, mentorship, and community-building among female athletes. With its success, the first women’s boxing gym in Jeddah is expected to inspire similar initiatives across the Kingdom, promoting greater participation of women in boxing and other traditionally male-dominated sports. Plans for competitions, workshops, and outreach programs aim to further nurture female talent and visibility in athletics.
