Women Are Warriors
Women Are Warriors is a nonprofit organization dedicated to bringing survivors of domestic violence and abuse to the forefront, as well as supporting women and families currently facing these hardships. We provide free fitness, yoga, and wellness services within women’s shelters, offering a safe space for both healing and empowerment. By reconnecting women and their families to their bodies and minds, we foster confidence and a sense of control over their futures. Beyond healing, we offer education and pathways into the fitness industry, sponsoring women to become certified fitness professionals whether it is yoga & Pilates instructors, personal trainers, instructors, nutritionists and wellness professionals. Our mission is to break cycles of hardship by building self-worth, providing tools for new careers, and creating a community where every woman—whether a survivor or still fighting—can rise as a warrior, stronger than ever before.

Fundraising
Our fundraising efforts are the backbone of our mission to support survivors. We organize fitness- and wellness-focused events in partnership with leading domestic violence foundations across the United States. These events, along with direct donations on our website and the sale of merchandise, help us raise critical funds. With these donations, we provide financial assistance, free gym memberships, and full access to health and wellness services, including counseling and mental health support. We also raise funds by encouraging ongoing donations of gym and everyday attire, ensuring every woman has what she needs to thrive. Every gift, every event, and every donation helps us create a future where survivors have the resources, support, and new opportunities they deserve.
