Most people don’t know the implications of not exercising. So for the government to bring this up, a very lovely initiative, it helps you reduce the excess in your body and we just hope that this kind of programme continues.
It’s going to help people a lot. We need to workout, little exercise. It helps the whole body, general body fitness. And it’s a very welcome development. We have here Men, women, children, and they start from somewhere and it’s a very welcome development. Very wonderful idea. It’s a big one from the Lagos government.”
For those contemplating gym memberships, Abdulahi had a message, “For the ones that are not here are missing a lot, they are missing the ambiance, if you look around where in Lagos would you find something like this.
If you are not here, you have missed a lot and I encourage people to be here for the next edition. You snooze, you lose. If you want to go to the gym it is not a bad idea but everything you spend money doing in the gym will be done here too, Trust me, you’re going to achieve a lot.”
