Hardcore

Our gym is down on the ground floor of Daljit Gymko, right on Harminder Singh Road in Andheri West. If you’re familiar with the Seven Bunglows Garden area, we are just a short walk from there, right opposite the Versova Welfare Association High School. Being on the ground floor means you don’t have to deal with elevators or stairs after a long day. The name on the door says Hardcore, and that’s mostly because we focus on the basics of lifting and getting stronger. We don’t have any of those flashy neon lights or complicated touchscreens on every wall. It’s more about the iron plates and the benches. During the day, you can hear the kids over at the high school during their break times, which adds a bit of life to the street. In the mornings, it’s mostly guys from the neighborhood trying to get a session in before the traffic gets bad. We try to keep things organized, though sometimes the weights end up in the wrong corner when it’s busy. The space is simple and honest. We’ve got some fans going to keep the air moving, especially when it gets humid outside. Most of our members have been coming here for years, so everyone knows each other’s names. It is a local spot for people who actually want to work out instead of just taking photos. It’s a bit rough around the edges, but that’s how we like it.
