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.

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.

Register Now — Free TalkJOY × Fitness: Joy in Motion
A gentle movement session followed by meaningful conversations over food. Rediscover simple, sustainable joy through movement, community, and rest.
Rediscover Simple Joy
Joy doesn't always come from grand moments. Sometimes, it's found in moving your body, sharing a laugh with new friends, and allowing yourself to slow down without feeling guilty.
As part of our July theme, JOY, we're inviting you to an afternoon dedicated to rediscovering simple, sustainable joy.
We'll begin with a light-hearted icebreaker before easing into a gentle movement flow suitable for all fitness levels. Afterwards, we'll gather around a table of delicious light bites, where conversation flows as freely as the food.
Together, we'll explore what joy looks like in adulthood, why we often struggle to prioritise it, and how small moments of movement, community, and rest can positively shape our overall wellbeing.
No fitness experience is required — just come as you are. #GirlsJustWannaFlow
