Jammu and Kashmir: Razia Mushtaq is now Ganderbal's first gym owner

Gandebal: A Kashmiri girl is breaking stereotypes as far as choice of her career is concerned as she has decided to become the first female gym owner of  Gandebal.

Razia Mushtaq is the first female fitness trainer and gym owner in her district.

She hails from Kangan area of Ganderbal. Raziya’s story is a tale of overcoming personal and social challenges and following her heart to own an exclusive gym. She is running ‘313 Fitness Club’ gym in Kangan, reports Daily Good Morning Kashmir.

“I felt that women here hesitate from joining a fitness centre because gyms here in Kashmir are most probably meant for men folk. That made me think that a female-only gym would be a great thing where women can join whenever they want throughout the day,” says Razia.

She said she faced several challenges and criticisms while opening the gym.

“We come from a conservative society, but still my parents were not that much reluctant. The love and cooperation of my parents and brothers gave me the courage to move forward with confidence.  All this was possible only because of their continuous support,” she said.
