Though bollywood celebrities and TV stars continue to flock fitness centres, there's has been a
significant surge in the number of corporates taking gym membership over the past 2-3 years. "Unlike
the previous years, when health clubs were seen as places to exercise and stay fit, executives across
sectors are now frequenting them to enhance their social circle," Fitness First managing director
Vikram Aditya Bhatia said.
Going to the gym is increasingly becoming an urban culture. Besides health reasons, it is more to do
with lifestyle these days. "We started our operations a year ago and we are adding close to 800
people every month," Mr Bhatia said. The UK-based chain has around 10,600 users in India, of which
around one third are women.
One of the world's largest in its field, Fitness First, which forayed into the country last year, currently
has four clubs across Delhi, Gurgaon, Mumbai and Bangalore. It plans to open another six in the next
two years with an estimated investment of around Rs 10-16 crore in each club. It charges Rs 3,000 for
regular customers per month, while for those availing personal training programmes, the charges are
as high as Rs 900 per hour. "We earn almost Rs 60 lakh in a month by offering personal training to
people," said Mr.Bhatia.
