I’m always happy to hear about new gyms opening up because the demand for it goes to show that more people want to be active and stay in shape. Jatomi Fitness at Tropicana City Mall (Malaysia) popped up not too long ago and I was the host at their official opening. Besides providing new and advanced equipments such as the Queenax and Curve treadmills (used in astronaut training by NASA and help users burn up to 30% more calories than conventional treadmills), it also features 3 distinct studios – “Mind“, “Body” and “Energy” which is specially designed, dedicated areas for yoga and pilates, group exercise and spin classes respectively.
Jatomi Fitness instructors run 4 new training routines for gym floor users free of charge on a weekly basis, to encourage and challenge members. I hear they also give fitness talks to get you motivated in of the studios which makes it quite unique and different than other gyms I’ve been to. Worth checking out!
