Bodies in Motion

 

When you think of this country’s gyms, many things spring to mind: fat men pointlessly trying to reduce the flab, women carrying out market conversations on treadmills, people blow-drying their armpits in the changing rooms, and way too much mint oil in the sauna. What we often forget is the small segment of gym goers — and we’re not just talking about the trainers — who are true athletes.

 

Striking a subtle balance between body and mind, for these people gym work is not just about being body beautiful or having something to boast about to their friends. It’s about lifestyle; a choice to follow a certain path. Muscly, sweaty and intense, being in good shape has little to do with creating a fashion statement (or blow-drying your armpits). It’s about hard work, diet, drive and precision. Most of all, it’s about excelling, achieving goals and looking after yourself.
