Trade the Piercing Gaze for a Peaceful Glow
In a world that constantly watches, judges, and defines — where even a simple workout means navigating unwanted stares — women deserve more. They deserve a space free from the fuss and flurry. A space that's truly theirs.
A Space Designed for Your Next Evolution
Marookha is the only organization in Malaysia that centres around confident women who seek the freedom to unleash their full potential in a comfortable and safe environment.
This isn't a gym. This isn't a café. This is your sanctuary.
Your Space, Your Way
More than services — these are gateways to your best self. Every corner of Marookha is designed with one purpose: your freedom.
Workout & Gym
Health without the hijab-heat or the male gaze. From boxing to yoga, pilates to HIIT — train in a space where you can let go of everything except your goals.
View Schedule & BookRestaurant & Café
Eco-friendly bites and specialty drinks in a friend's-house atmosphere. Fuel up, cool down, or just linger.
Salon
Dedicated self-care to revive your feminine energy. Hair, nails — pamper yourself in complete privacy.

A Space Built for Her
Marookha — derived from the Spanish Maruja, a fun, trendy woman of the house — was born from a simple truth: women deserve a space where they can simply be themselves.
Founded in 2021 as the Gentlewoman's Club, Marookha quickly became TTDI's most beloved women-only destination. We built a sanctuary — not a facility — where women can shed societal roles, discover their inner hero, and find restoration.
Zero Male Employees.
Zero Compromise.
Marookha is a 100% women-only space — from the staff to the members. No exceptions, no negotiation. This is your sanctuary, protected and private, exactly as it should be.
Bring Your Little Ones Along
We know — finding time for yourself as a mama isn't easy. That's why we created a dedicated, beautifully designed kids' corner where your little ones can play, create, and explore while you train, relax, or catch up with friends.
Hand-painted murals, wooden toys, a play kitchen, and rocking horses — it's a world of imagination, right next to yours.
