Leonido Pulido, former Assistant Secretary of the Department of Energy.

Choose Your Own Path To Fitness!

We know that fitness is indeed a challenge for all of us, one can never remain young and strong forever. It does take conditioning, maintenance, and consistency to achieve the body that we want. There are a lot of ways for us to get fit, especially for me who works mainly sitting down and (usually) chomping down a lot of food to keep me focused on my works.

City gyms are indeed a blessing for us urban dwellers, and Fitness First comes to mind when it comes to known brands of fitness. And they have been in the business for many years which helped a lot to find their own ways, either it may be to lose weight, gain strength and flexibility, build endurance, or even discovering inner peace.
