The Gym Culture and Lifestyle


Like many other facets of life,fitness and desire to keep one's own body in check and shape has become a pivotal part of modern day lifestyle.In today's age of colourful diseases and multiple deficiencies,looking after one's fitness and nutrition has become so vital that one cannot ignore it.Generation Y India is certainly upto the mark in this respect.New India is as much fitness-savvy as it is trendy.

It can be said that westernization has had its impact here too,but as much as westernization is derided in some quarters,such positive development is definitely a boon for all parties.A peek into the Indian film industry highlights this fitness culture well.Nowadays film-makers would rather go for the "hunky,well-toned and muscular" actor than the so called "character" actor.It's the former that creates hype and excites all well before the film goes on air.

Straying not too far behind are the colleges in India.Now,we can see multi-level gymnasiums in almost all colleges providing adequate access and facility to the students.Today big biceps and muscular bodies are commonplace in colleges which were a thing of the west not too long ago.Woo girls or not,these guys look after their body well.

Turning our eyes to the gymming scene in the urban reaches of Guwahati,many high-end gyms have started over the past couple of years to cater to the needs of the increasingly urbane citizens.From the high level chained gyms like Gold's Gym,Talwalkars,etc to the small,more locally based gyms like I-Gym,Universal Gym,people now have variety to choose from.From taking a personal trainer to doing a more cost efficient workout,name it and you virtually have it(at your fingertips too !)
Another high-end gym in Guwahati:Talwalkars
                                 
Living a healthy life is a virtue.As the number of irregularities and ailments in the human body increase,methods to supress them are devised too.Going with the tagline of a gym,"We make the world healthy",lets make a forward stride in the health revolution.
