Fearless Fitness Gym

A women's only gym that not only builds physical strength but also helps provide a sense of community and a fearless attitude towards a healthy lifestyle. Fearless Fitness is a holistic women's fitness center. Within our establishment, we will offer state of the art gym equipment, professional female trainers, supplements and nutritional foods & beverages that cater towards women. We will also have a childcare center within the gym that allows children to learn about health and fitness through activities and lessons,  for those mothers who need extra assistance. Within our facility there will be an enclosed meditation space where women can go to clear their heads, practice stillness and balance their chakras; all an integral part of maintaining your mental health.  In society, women are typically the lead caregivers and many of them are mothers. Being a mom is a full-time job which a lot of the time can take away from the mother's needs such as working out. A lot of women find it hard to find time to balance their health needs and goals as well as being a mom. As women, there's also an uncomfortable feeling with going to the gym and working out with onlookers, specifically men. All women have experienced being watched, cat-called and objectified by men. This is found even more at the gym simply because of the workouts or gym attire that women are in. Due to this, many women either choose to not workout or attempt their fitness journeys at home simply because they're afraid of the male gaze. We are mending the gap between women, fitness and health. Fearless Fitness was founded to create a place where you can be free to become your best self without judgment. The journey of health and working out can be a scary and discouraging feat due to onlookers. As women, we’ve observed this even more because of comparison culture and the male gaze. We want that sometimes uncomfortable feeling to turn into a feeling of confidence.Fearless Fitness provides a place and community that builds not only your outer but inner strength as you accomplish your goals through your fitness journey.  

As the founders of Fearless Fitness we are both graduates of the Atlanta University Center, Spelman College and Clark Atlanta University and are cousins who grew up with each other and have been close our entire lives. Daylan graduated in 2019 and Surayyah just graduated this past May in 2021. We both worked at a breakfast restaurant but due to the pandemic we had to stop working. With a lot of time spent inside, we started to focus on our own fitness journeys. We began to switch our eating habits and developed a workout regimen that we stuck to everyday. At first we were only working out from home and outside but then started to use our complex gym. Being young women, we experienced harassment and stares from guys as we simply just tried to workout. As the confident young women we are, it didn’t phase us too much. However, we started to think about all the other women who aren’t as self-assured and are steered away from working out because of the male gaze. Out of this, the concept of Fearless Fitness was born. This problem is important to us because as women, we know what it feels like to be watched and objectified by men, especially in a setting like the gym where you’re trying to focus on bettering yourself. Both of us have struggled with our own body shaming and fitness journeys throughout our lives so we want to alleviate that for other women in any way. We want women to feel encouraged and supported when it comes to their health as opposed to discomfort.
