O2 The Fitness

We are located at 61 on the 3rd floor, right above the Corner House on 1st Cross in Koramangala 5th Block. It is a busy little corner, especially with the HDFC Bank nearby and everyone stopping for ice cream downstairs. Being on the 3rd floor means we get a bit of a breeze if the windows are open, but mostly it is just the sound of the city coming up from the street. The space is filled with all sorts of machines and free weights. We spend a good chunk of our day moving plates back to the racks because people always leave them lying around. It is not a quiet place, especially in the evenings when the music is going and people are chatting between sets. The floor has some scuffs from years of use, but it shows the work people put in. We keep a stack of towels ready and the water jars filled up near the entrance. Most of our members are from the surrounding blocks, so you see the same faces every day. It feels less like a business and more like a spot where neighbors just happen to meet up. We don't have a lot of bells and whistles, just a functional space to get through a routine. When the sun sets, the lights from the shops outside make the whole place feel like part of the neighborhood. It is just a practical place for fitness.
