Gold Gym returns with a burnish

GANGTOK, 01 Feb:

The Gold Gym here at MG Marg reopened today after a thorough renovation, now flexing a new look and even more facilities.

One of the oldest gyms in the state, the Gold Gym was started by certified trainer, Legden Bhutia in the year 2002.

Now, the gym has been extended across two floors and boasts imported exercise equipment, imported “directly from USA”. The gym is now segregated into sections for weight training, cardio zone and has enough equipment in place to keep all members, both men and women, fit.

Mr. Bhutia shared today that he had started the gym in 2002 to popularise fitness to a not so healthy Gangtok lifestyle.

His mantra clicked and now, with the membership register recording more than 300 members, the expansion in size and services had become necessary.

The gym has also accommodated a more flexible timing for members, with the facility open from 6 in the morning to 9 at night.

The gym has fixed Rs. 3,500 as joining fee and Rs. 1,500 per month.
