Optimum Health Gym

This gym is up on the third floor of Rainbow Plaza, right near Shivar in Pimple Saudagar. It’s not one of those massive chain places where nobody knows your name. We’ve got weights, some machines, and the usual cardio stuff. The floor can get a bit scuffed up when people drop the heavy plates, but we keep it clean enough. I usually get here early to open up and turn on the lights. Some members have been coming since we first started at Tilak Madan. It gets pretty loud in the evenings when everyone is off work, mostly just the sound of iron clanking and the radio playing in the background. We don't have fancy juice bars or towel service. You just come in, do your workout, and go home. Sometimes the lift in Rainbow Plaza is a bit slow, so most of us just take the stairs to the third floor anyway. It’s good for a warm-up. We see a lot of local faces from around the neighborhood. It’s a simple setup. I spend a lot of time re-racking weights because people forget to do it. The music isn't always everyone's favorite, but it keeps the energy up. We’re just a local spot for people who want to stay active without any of the extra drama you find in big clubs. It’s a decent place to sweat and we like being part of the Pimple Saudagar community.
