Raw (Rigorous Anaerobic Workouts)

Our gym is on the top floor of B-177 in Vivek Vihar. You’ll find us right behind the ICICI Bank. It’s a bit of a climb up the stairs, but we tell everyone that’s just the warm-up before they even get inside. The name Raw stands for Rigorous Anaerobic Workouts, and we try to live up to that. We don't have much in the way of decoration or fancy lounge chairs. It’s mostly just steel, iron, and rubber mats. Since we are on the top floor, it can get pretty warm in the middle of the day, but we have some big fans to keep the air moving. It’s a good spot for people who actually want to work hard and don't care about taking selfies in the mirror. We have a lot of free weights and a few heavy-duty machines. It’s not a huge place, so it can feel a bit cramped when the afternoon crowd shows up. Most of the people here are from around the Vivek Vihar area and everyone kind of knows each other. We don't have a big corporate office or anything. It’s just us running the floor and making sure the weights get put back. If you want a place that’s simple and focused on lifting, this is where we are. We just focus on providing the equipment and a decent space to use it for our local regulars.
