The city has a lot of fitness freaks who work out in gyms, go for jogging but the concept of an open-air gym will give a completely different feeling of working out. The Open air gym is a new concept and will definitely help the residents in staying fit.
The open air concept will be gradually implemented at Gandhi Park, park at Attampahad (newly extended ward) and park in ward No.2. The equipment which included is Chest press, shoulder press, leg exercise, rover, spinners, abs trainer etc. The equipment installed was clamped onto concrete slabs, making it impossible to move them manually and are rain proof. The open air gym will be completely a different experience for the citizen of these Islands. This is the second open air gym. This will encourage people to do exercise after their morning or evening walk and this would help people to stay fit and healthy.
