    • Aminat S. ★★★★ Trainers are doing a good job. They motivate you and stir up your athletic spirit. Gym needs improvement in terms of equipments, organization and maintenance. If the management could look into those three areas, I think it would make more first timers stay for a longer period. It was a really enjoyable 1 month experience.
