This location is not only well-liked but also one of the most soughtafter gyms in Powai because to its carpets, marbles, gold leafing, and efficient lighting design. The Group X, Spinning, and gym floors all have a distinctive feel thanks to lighting effects that create a lively, lounge-like setting that is ideal for exercising. To further the upscale vibe, we also incorporated Versace Tiles and other items.
