Akb Gym

You can find Akb Gym on the first floor of the Taj Hotel building on MGM Road. We are really close to the Central Naka, which is a big landmark around here. Since we are on the first floor, you have to head up the stairs to get to us. The gym isn't about fancy lights or mirrors; it's mostly just about the equipment and the people who come in to use it. We open up early because a lot of guys like to get their workout in before they head off to their jobs. You can hear the weights clanking and the music playing from the street if the windows are open. Being near the hotel means we see a mix of locals and sometimes people just passing through the area. MGM Road is always busy with traffic, but once you get inside and start lifting, you sort of forget about the noise outside. We keep the place as clean as we can, though it gets sweaty and loud when the evening rush hits. We aren't trying to be a luxury club; we just provide a place for people in the neighborhood to stay fit. The floor is a bit worn in places from all the feet and heavy plates, but that just shows it gets used. It’s a straightforward spot for anyone who wants to work hard and then head home.
