Sydney Dunitz

entrepreneur

Sydney Dunitz is the owner of La Femme Strong, a Toronto-based gym focused on creating an inclusive and welcoming environment for women and non-binary individuals. Originally from Napanee, Ontario, Dunitz moved to the city to pursue a career in theatre but found her passion in fitness after struggling with body image and intimidation in traditional gym settings. After obtaining her personal training certification, she opened La Femme Strong to provide a space where individuals could feel confident and empowered in their fitness journeys. Celebrating its 10-year anniversary, Dunitz's gym has become a refuge for many who once feared the gym atmosphere, emphasizing affordable fitness and personal connection over corporate growth.
