How Squatwolf Became Dubai’s Homegrown Fitness Powerhouse

The journey of Wajdan Gul and Anam Khalid, founders of Squatwolf, is a story of grit, vision, and breaking barriers in the activewear industry, dominated by global giants.

Starting out, Squatwolf had no fashion pedigree, no fortune—just a problem spotted and the relentless will to solve it.

That’s the power of grit.


They’re not just gym wear anymore.
Wash and Anam, a husband-and-wife duo, built Squatwolf from the ground up—using their savings and sweat to fill a gap in Dubai’s fitness scene.

With zero experience in fashion, they took on global giants and won by putting quality, fit, and community first.

No flashy ads, no shortcuts—just deep authenticity.


Their “born in Dubai, engineered for gym” ethos wasn’t just a tagline; it was a promise to men who demand more than just style. To men who want gear that performs and empowers.

When COVID-19 shuttered gyms, most would panic. Squatwolf pivoted, launched global online sales overnight, and scaled to 100+ countries. That leap wasn’t luck. It was a calculated risk fuelled by grit and community.


Their story reminds me of something critical for men over 30:

Progress demands patience and resilience.

Whether building a business or building your body and health, it’s about showing up daily, making smart choices, and building your tribe.

It’s the same mindset that keeps you out of the slow decline most men settle for as they age. That relentless dedication to improvement, quality movement, nutrition, rest, and emotional strength is what will keep you thriving longer.


So ask yourself:

  • What’s the gap in your life or health you’re ready to fill?

  • What risks are you willing to take?

Because the biggest rewards come from the hardest climbs.


Squatwolf started with a vision and no roadmap.

They built their own path.

Now, it’s your turn.


Hasta la vista, amigo.
