THE Gymnasium Rakyat in Jalan Pantai, Butterworth, may not be a first-class facility but enough for weight watchers in the North Seberang Prai district to shed that extra pounds on their tummy.
The gym, which was renovated at the cost of RM230,000, overlooks the Butterworth Outer Ring Road and the waterfront and provides the perfect place for the health conscious to tone up their muscles for a mere RM20 monthly. All they need to do is join as a member and pay a membership fee of RM45 each for once.
Gym chairman Hashim Nanyan said one should not view the gym as a place for body-builders only because they too could benefit from the facilities available.
A gym is a place for people to build up their endurance in sports activities. Taking weights is a form of exercise and stamina building.
My 2cents "A gym is not all about bodybuilding but it is the basic for all sports. Even F1 drivers hit the gym".
