Ken'S Gym

Ken's Gym is located on Panchavati Main Road, and if you know Rajkot, you know it’s a pretty active spot. We are right across from the OBC Bank and near the Jain Derasar, so people use those as markers to find us. The gym isn't one of those places where everyone is posing in mirrors all day. It’s a bit gritty, there’s the smell of iron, and the sound of weights hitting the floor is pretty constant. We open up early because a lot of folks like to get their sweat in before heading to the office. Then it gets quiet for a few hours until the evening rush starts. We spend a lot of time wiping down the equipment and making sure the fans are working right because it gets warm in here. It’s not a fancy health club; it’s just a place to work out and get things done. We know most of the regulars by their first names and what time they usually show up. Sometimes the music is a bit loud, and sometimes the machines squeak, but we fix them when we can. Being on the main road means there’s always noise outside, but once you’re lifting, you don’t notice it much. We’ve been part of this neighborhood for a while, and we just like seeing people get stronger. It’s simple, hard work for everyone involved, and we keep the doors open for anyone willing to try.
