Best Ladies-Only Gyms in Sharjah (Ranking)
Too many women in Sharjah are still driving to Dubai or Ajman to find a gym that feels right for them. That's avoidable.
Sharjah's ladies-only gym scene has grown significantly — but it's uneven. Some areas are well served. Others genuinely aren't. And if you search online, you'll get a mix of closed locations, outdated information, and results that don't bother explaining what each gym is actually like.
This guide covers the best ladies gyms in Sharjah right now, ranked by real reviews from Gymzone's database. For each gym, you'll get an honest picture of what it offers and who it's best suited for — so you can make the right call before signing anything.
The best ladies-only gyms in Sharjah this year are Gymnation Al Zahia Ladies, Gymnation Mega Mall Ladies, Sharjah Ladies Club, Fitness First Zero 6, and Wellfit Madar — ranging from AED 99/month budget options to full-service premium facilities. All five are active and verified on Gymzone, with a combined 9,000+ reviews.
The Best Ladies-Only Gyms in Sharjah
Sharjah has a higher demand for women-only fitness facilities relative to supply than most other emirates. The options listed below are the best-reviewed across the emirate. They range from large, affordable 24/7 chains to a government-run club with a full sports complex. All have been verified as active and approved on Gymzone.
Gymnation Al Zahia Ladies
Gymnation Al Zahia Ladies is one of the most-reviewed women-only gyms in Sharjah, with over 2,600 reviews and a 4.7-star rating. It's located in Al Zahia — a well-connected area in the heart of Sharjah — and runs 24/7 with no contracts and 500+ machines. If you want a large, modern facility where you can show up at any hour without feeling crowded or out of place, this is the most consistent option in the emirate. The scale means it's never going to feel boutique, and peak hours can be busy. But for value, hours, and equipment variety, it's hard to beat for most women.

Gymnation Mega Mall Ladies
Rated 4.8 stars across more than 2,400 reviews, Gymnation Mega Mall Ladies edges out its Al Zahia sister location on member satisfaction. It's women-only, open 24/7, and includes access to 400+ group classes alongside its equipment floor. The Mega Mall location works well if you're coming from the Al Khan or Sharjah Corniche side of the city, and the mall setting means parking is straightforward. Like any large chain gym, the vibe is more functional than community-focused — good if you know what you want to do, less so if you're looking for a tight-knit group class culture.

Sharjah Ladies Club
Sharjah Ladies Club is a government-run women's facility that goes well beyond a standard gym. The Fitness 180 Centre inside the club offers proper equipment and professional trainers, but the broader complex includes sports courts, a pool, and a range of group activities. With over 1,700 reviews at 4.3 stars, it's popular — particularly among women who want variety beyond lifting weights or using cardio machines. Membership pricing follows a different structure to private gyms, and it's worth calling ahead to confirm current rates and availability. Not the right fit if convenience and location are your main priorities, but a strong choice if you want a full sports environment in a fully women-only space.

Fitness First Zero 6 (Ladies Only)
Fitness First's Zero 6 location is a dedicated ladies-only club inside Zero 6 Mall in Al Nahda. It's one of the few options in Sharjah that includes a pool and aqua fitness classes — a meaningful differentiator if that's something you're looking for. The facility has functional training equipment, a group exercise studio, and a mind-and-body programme including yoga. At 4.1 stars from 845 reviews, it scores slightly lower than the GymNation options — some members note the price point is higher relative to what you get. That said, if pool access and a quieter, more structured environment matter to you, it's a strong option in the Al Nahda area.

Wellfit Madar (Aljada)
Wellfit Madar sits in Sharjah's Aljada development and is the closest thing to a premium fitness destination in the emirate. It's a mixed-gender facility — not women-only — but included here because of its standout amenities: sauna, swimming pool, tennis courts, and a full gym floor. Rated 4.8 stars from 1,701 reviews, it's one of the highest-scoring gyms in Sharjah overall. If you're comfortable in a mixed-gender environment and want facilities beyond what any ladies-only gym in Sharjah currently offers, Wellfit Madar is worth considering. Not ideal if a private, women-only setting is a requirement for you.

What Should You Look for in a Ladies Gym in Sharjah?
The right gym depends on what you actually need — not just what sounds good on paper. Here are the factors that matter most for women choosing a gym in Sharjah.
Privacy and environment
Sharjah's fitness culture places a real premium on women-only spaces. If working out in a fully separated, women-only environment is important to you, stick to the dedicated ladies-only facilities: Gymnation Al Zahia Ladies, Gymnation Mega Mall Ladies, Fitness First Zero 6, and Sharjah Ladies Club. All four guarantee no men on the gym floor. Wellfit Madar is mixed but included above for women who prioritise amenities over separation.
Location by area
Sharjah is more spread out than it looks on a map, and driving across the emirate for a gym session gets old fast. A rough guide by area:
- Al Zahia / Muwaileh: Gymnation Al Zahia Ladies
- Mega Mall / Al Khan / Sharjah Corniche area: Gymnation Mega Mall Ladies
- Al Nahda / near Dubai border: Fitness First Zero 6
- Aljada / eastern Sharjah: Wellfit Madar
- Central Sharjah / Al Majaz: Sharjah Ladies Club

Budget
Prices vary more than you'd expect. GymNation operates on a budget model — monthly memberships typically run AED 99-149, with no long-term contract required. Fitness First is mid-range, usually AED 200-300+ per month depending on the plan. Wellfit Madar sits at the premium end. Sharjah Ladies Club has a different pricing structure given its government-run status — membership categories vary by age and residency.
If budget is a priority, the two GymNation locations are the most cost-effective ladies-only options in Sharjah right now.

Do Women in Sharjah Really Need to Drive to Dubai for a Good Gym?
Sharjah residents searching for a ladies gym often end up looking across the border — partly out of habit, partly because Dubai's gym content dominates search results. But for most women in Sharjah, the options above will cover what you need without the commute.
The main reasons you might still prefer Dubai: more boutique studios, a wider range of specialty classes (barre, reformer pilates, high-end CrossFit boxes), and a broader price range at the premium end. If that's what you're after, the guide to ladies-only gyms in Dubai covers the full picture. Abu Dhabi women have a different set of options again — see our ladies gyms in Abu Dhabi guide if you're based there.
But if you live in Al Nahda, Al Majaz, Muwaileh, or anywhere within central Sharjah, you don't need to cross an emirate to find a good gym. The options are here.
What 10,000+ Reviews Tell You About Sharjah's Ladies Gyms
Gymzone's database aggregates reviews across all listed gyms in Sharjah. Looking at the data for women-only facilities and top-rated mixed gyms with strong ladies sections, a few clear patterns emerge. The two GymNation ladies locations hold the highest volume of positive reviews in the emirate — combined, they account for over 5,000 ratings, with 4.7 and 4.8 average scores respectively. Wellfit Madar is the standout among mixed-gender gyms, consistently rated for its facilities and cleanliness. Fitness First Zero 6 scores well for its pool offering but draws some criticism for pricing relative to value. Sharjah Ladies Club earns strong loyalty from long-term members, particularly those who use the broader sports complex rather than just the fitness centre.
The pattern across all of them: women rate facilities and cleanliness highest, and give the most critical reviews when equipment is out of service for extended periods or when the women-only policy isn't consistently enforced. If those factors matter to you — and they reasonably should — check the most recent reviews before committing to a membership.
