In the breathtaking valley of Kashmir, where majestic mountains meet serene lakes, a remarkable woman is redefining health and wellness. Meet Shaheena Majid, a trailblazing gym coach from Srinagar’s Habbak area, who is empowering the region’s youth to embrace fitness and self-discipline. As a certified female fitness trainer at Muscle Blast Unisex Gym in Burzhama, Shaheena has become a symbol of strength, determination, and empowerment.

Armed with an impressive academic background—having completed her PG B.Ed and currently preparing for a PhD—Shaheena embodies the perfect balance of intellect and athleticism. Her journey into fitness began with a clear vision: to help people transform their lives through exercise and healthy living. After earning professional certifications, she worked with leading gyms such as Titans, The Game Changer, and Muscle Factory, gaining valuable experience that shaped her expertise.
With nearly eight years of experience, Shaheena has emerged as a leading figure in Kashmir’s fitness industry.. “Since the beginning of my career, I knew I wanted to be a fitness trainer,” she said. “My mission has always been to help others take control of their health and well-being.”
Her journey, however, was not without challenges. As a female trainer in a conservative society, Shaheena faced social barriers and stereotypes. Yet, her resilience turned those obstacles into stepping stones. “I’ve always believed women can excel in any field,” she said. “Fitness is not just about physical strength—it’s about mental toughness and determination.”
Shaheena’s message carries special significance at a time when substance abuse among youth has become a growing concern in the Valley. She urges young people to replace harmful habits with gym workouts, which she believes can channel their energy positively. “Fitness can be life-changing,” she emphasized. “It builds confidence, discipline, and purpose.”
Passionate about women’s empowerment, Shaheena encourages girls to break free from inhibitions and focus on both physical and mental well-being. “Health is for everyone,” she said. “Regular workouts help women feel confident, manage stress, and live fulfilling lives.”
As she continues to inspire others, Shaheena’s vision for a healthier, more empowered Kashmir shines through her dedication. Her journey stands as a testament to the power of perseverance, passion, and self-belief.
Her message to the youth is simple yet powerful: “Believe in yourself. Set your goals and chase them relentlessly. You have the power to shape your destiny.”
