Going for Umrah?
Prepare Your Body Too.
FIT FOR UMRAH is a guided 3-week physical preparation programme designed to help you walk further, move with greater confidence, and prepare for the physical demands of your Umrah journey.
Prepare your body. Strengthen your confidence.
Focus more on your ibadah.
Travelling with OneOasis, another agency, or doing DIY Umrah? You’re welcome to join.
You’ve prepared your documents.
You’ve prepared your ilmu.
But have you prepared your body?
Umrah is a deeply spiritual journey — but it can also be physically demanding. Long periods of walking, standing, stairs, crowds and consecutive active days can take a toll, especially if your body is not used to it.
Tawaf
Seven rounds around the Kaabah, often amongst large crowds and after an already long day.
Sa’i
Repeated walking between Safa and Marwah, requiring endurance, pacing and lower-body strength.
Daily Walking
Hotel to Haram, transport points, meals, ziarah and day-to-day movement quickly add up.
Standing & Stairs
Balance, mobility and leg strength matter more than many people realise before they travel.
Maybe you’ve been meaning to prepare… but you’re not quite sure where to start.
FIT FOR UMRAH is not about becoming an athlete. It is about becoming better prepared than you are today.

Coach Md Isa
