    This is perfect case study of business with huge potential got a complete washout Mainly due to behaviour & attitude of front desk and few trainers The news is spreading thick and fast Only , due to old connection with soul & value of VIOLET colour & M3 principles , many things are not raised yet Where , they actually send flurry of messages in inboxes to join But , actually , many incident of duping and misbehaviour They actually bringing mud on VIOLET in its trial days Being franchisee of a US MNC BRAND , this can easily be taken in US CONSULATE office & sure , those fitness enthusiast apart from newly rich businessman who like to be shutter bug than actually doing workout Advice to take this business seriously & stop duping people & if one dare to misbehave with people who actually respect fight & principle of M3 principle , should take responsibility if the erudite & professionals feel aggrieved & convey the experience to places where it will really make an impact

    Go to youtube Search fitternity in web You will see the best gym in delhi , mumbai , bangalore are charging <18K second grade 1's charging 12-14K per annum Talwalkar salt lake Gym area v small Weight area inadequate Why are they charging 19K? Plus all best gym like gold gym , atf , snap fitness , ozone Charging , 200-250 rs per session So why talwalkar charge 700 ? The equipment is outdated Are kolkata people have more money or can be easily fooled Check , web & charges before joining such obsolete gym

    Q1) Are you not seeing international gym chains actually outshining you Q2) why you dont revamp your equipment or increase space or open in newtown action area 1 or 3 Q3) if you have charged 200 rs per session and had floor weight assistance You would have x3 times members for sure Little calculation 100 days / 365 days @200rs per day would have given you 20k ( = your annual charges or more ) Now you cannot opt for it for following reasons only 1) you dont care how many members are there , you have such deep pockets 2) you are just not eyeing long term stay and want 1 member to be with you for 5 to 10 yrs instead want all profit at one go You will never be dearth of client As 65% of india's population is under 35 yrs And even aged needs workout But , discipline your functionaries , trainers We welcome your brand , live up to the promise of MADE IN INDIA brand, it will also be circulated in proper channel which will do your business world of good

    6 yrs back it was the gym everyone wanted to be in salt lake Space crunch , not updating equipment, new gym marketing hugely is taking steam off Yet , have better management & talwalkar discipline One of junior send link of a pan india gym , having gym in bangalore too Checked it Trainers training members so passionately , even seems counting reps & breaths sitting closed by Saltlake really have changed , does gym going crowd now lack at least that much brain that trainers have to stand by & count every reps , gosh One trainer assisting a lady doing leg lunges , his left leg is horribly in wrong position , clearly in valgum ( twisted inward ) , which will harm , medial meniscus at any point , leaving aside , it might give ,another fellow practitioner's a new patient Talwalkar trainers are more disciplined & knowledgeable & mainly the directive coming from top ensures, gym keeping it open choice infront members , to chose PT or not Experienced PT will direct , assist & not sit close by & let leg lunges in valgus position is clicked ( god ! He ruined the name of organisation ) Adequate number of GT & Floor weight assistance is must for any gym wants recommendations from present/past members With kris gethin , cure fit FITPASS coming in salt lake , the gym will stay true to member will win the race Underlines it just wrong misleading promotion & opportunity there for talwalkar is there to bounce back , provided they reduce per session price and keep it open on sundays

    Can you explain huge per session charges where plenty in salt lake , Lake town , kolkata charge 100-200 per session and IPL MATCH 10-12 hrs in INOX PVR with 120 sitting capacity at 500 rs ? Do not you have enough member or you love to overcharge ?

    Gym opens @ sharp 6:00 AM so its a positive point for me to join the GYM that is equipped with modern equipment , best of the class facilitators and most importantly technology aided EMS (Electric Muscle Stimulation) . All staffs are just wonderful and never hesitate to help in case anything is required. It is having a very good Steam Bath facility along with secured locker facility for members.

    One extra star for brand talwalkar Salt lake branch is one of worst branch Once a great branch , now in front new upcoming gyms it is nothing SUNDAY OFF Gym closes by 9pm on weekdays 2 floor gym but inadequate space and old machines Despite having few good trainers , either their management is poor or they will lose members to new upcoming gyms They must keep it open till 11pm Reduce annual membership to 10-12k unless bring new machines and expand area or have per session charge of 100-150 rs If they do not use per session charges , they will have to do work out on ground beside and post those fat losing ads on facebook And will lose remaining members to new brands who have better gym , new equipment

  • 2/5 chinmoy N. 4 years ago on Google
    Few things you must keep in mind when you send promotional messages 1) recent duping by cure fit in hyderabad & sudden closure of gold gym salt lake actually made people think 100 times before taking annual membership 2) few gym FORCING member to take PT If one member wish that it's fine No one have problem with that But if forces member or misbehave , changes price range at days notice It make member suspicious 3) a gym has to be 7 days on and preferably till 12pm 4) should have gym GT , who got to help members GT >>> PT 5) there should be proper AC from 6am - 12am 6) Why you don't have rational per session charge like 100 per session And annual charge of your 8yrs old gym must be 10-12k Not 19k ( 52rs per day x365 crosses that ) 7) Even if 1 member comes thrice a wk & you give them proper support You will automatically draw more from other gym And also will get 52Γ—300 = 15600 Rather than not having new members Get back trust of people As you have great tradition All the best

    They have great trainers. Better than a renowned gym near cc1 because most of the members of that gym are joining here. Overall a good place to workout.

  • 5/5 ANITA K. 7 years ago on Google
    Initially I joined Talwalkars in March 2011 to trim down a little and keeping myself absolutely fit. However, over a period of 5 years this gym has become a part of my daily life. Not only that I could reduce my weight by approx. 16 kgs through regular work-outs, my personal trainer takes total care of my health & well-being. The gym has world class equipments and excellent well trained instructors. The ambience is also very good. I also use their SPA services sometimes. It is value for money.

    One of the best fitness centres in salt lake. It has two floors. Ground floor has a steam and changing room for both Women And Man. First floor is well Stocked with the cardio equipments. While the second floor is dedicated to weight training and all other machines. They also conduct zumba and yoga classes. Its a good centre for salt lake residents.

  • 3/5 C R. 5 years ago on Google
    Fantastic gym, great quality equipment and super friendly staff. However the cardio room temperature doesn’t feel air conditioned enough. The treadmills stop after 13 mins of use and 3 minutes of cool down thereby making it tricky to run longer distances such as 10k’s continuously without stopping (which is not ideal). If you're like most Indian people and use the treadmill to 'walk' for 10 minutes then this gym is for you. If you are training for a 10k race or more and want to run indoors in order to avoid the polluted city that is Kolkata, then look elsewhere!!!!!

    recent new gym brand trying to outwitting other top brands in kolkatta Now , already declared 800+ subscribers in 1 branch Got interested, checked particulars 1 ) they are taking of main trainers from other gym 2) already have 800+ members, even at discounted rate of 16k , its 1.28 cr , must be a great success already 3) advising members, to take uber , paying 25k/annum membership, 15k/pm PT ( 1.8 L ) , 15K /PM on supplements & food , and even 5d/wk uber , min 6k/pm So , there expectations, 1 who will spend 42k /pm on workout , will go by UBER 4 ) they did Halloween celebration, is it night club ? Is there any exorcism / black magic going on Recent news of few shot circuit in gym & motorbike accidents raises suspension 5 ) their own trainers opening gym at 5k/pm , if they can do that , how bussiness venture charging 15/25k per annum Data never have emotion , it tells only facts Bad fortune happened to few after joining this gym raising suspension Please investigate yourself for own good

  • 2/5 CA Binod S. 4 years ago on Google
    Was a great gym once Well behaved workers Even trainers better than others Just sticking to old per day charge of 700 rs will cost them big way Now FITPASS in kolkata More small gym will join More per session gym enthusiasts will avail it Sadly , one person will do at one gym on one day Great thing more people will try out instead paying 10k-20k Its great thing The gyms give best experience to fitness enthusiasts Win trust of people and not try to dupe them Will come triumphant Let health business grow Let people stay healthy and fit Let the gym give most cultured experience get more clients Let more GT and floor weight helper get job And with fitpass , it give chances to avail pan india , all TOP BRAND GYM already in , STAY OUT at own risk Its future , you cannot stop it , even if you want it Its IIM,IIT, professionals brainwave across india

  • 3/5 raj kmal B. 4 years ago on Google
    One of very few branded gyms which don't have big projection in social media yet is not shutting branches & duping members at will, not forcing PT on members & GT helps when need arises Still room for improvement is there 1) have to open 7d till 12midnight , to get software clients 2) have to upgrade gym equipment 3) why they haven't explored Newtown action area 1 & 3 only they know it 4) the alarming frequency with which gyms are open and closed now , actually , preventing people from taking annual membership anywhere 5) the use of muscle mass protein and steroid in gym preventing parent to send kid in gym 6) this gym don't allow you to use other talwalkar gyms in even Kolkata , so , they are just using brand name , not behaving like one 7) start per day session , even @100rs per session if you get customer confidence & he / she able to hit thrice/week , you will get almost equal to your annual membership charges Wonder why you are bearing losses and not exploring 100rs/day charge Do it , it will change your fortune

  • 5/5 Soumitra S. 5 years ago on Google
    Super helpful trainers. Special mention for Suman who paid special attention for my first class and is super friendly and polite. I got a massive cramp while working out and he spotted me and immediately went out of his way to get some salt and helped me get better.

  • 3/5 Kunal C. 4 years ago on Google
    Space less Not rubber coated Huge per session price Will lose in front gold gym indian version & talwalkar hi fi only which charges 10-12k/Annum Start 100/per session , upgrade weight training equipments Or else lose in front GOLD GYM ALTIUS & TALWALKAR HI FI surely Your name & reputation have given you edge , the culture evident among your trainers , but , correct above to stay in race at least

  • 5/5 Gaurav D. 4 years ago on Google
    My place for getting back into shape Not the fanciest gym in town but has excellent staff and trainers. You will get everything you need to get back in shape

  • 3/5 DrSurya C. 4 years ago on Google
    Indeed great to see indian cricketer team jersey have name of 1 gymnasium in Jersey & another physiotherapy run institute running gymnasium & also giving lecture on fitness , as more knowledgeable & reputable institutions are getting involved, their surely will have more scope/opportunity to pinpoint any fallacies & hopefully, will be corrected sooner , as no stakeholders with reputation would like to see their name is tarnished due to misdemeanours of few trainers High time , the best brains of modern medicine should write to decision makers , highlighting, need / opportunity/ possibilities/risks involved with fitness industry On right path , it's great for clients/ entrepreneurs/fitness enthusiast , all & will give job to many trainer Knowledgeable medics , surely can and will play a key role in ensuring it moves in right path , Bt periodically overlooking at work_output graph Talwalkar must think about reshaping the gym and make it 7 days open with reasonable per session charges Which will help them reclaim position at top of pyramid again

  • 1/5 Anirban C. 4 years ago on Google
    The gym is with old machine and narrow space Fees high compare to quality Surely , government must keep track of members paying such huge Then tax return will automatically will rise

  • 4/5 Amitabh M. 4 years ago on Google

  • 3/5 Dipak D. 4 years ago on Google
    This is one of pride of salt lake lost ways for not upgrading equipment & closing door at 10pm and Sunday off & specially entrance of a much bigger publicizing model Yet surviving due to talwalkar legacy The new much publicised gym good in luring customer , giving them membership in discounted rates , showing multiple gym access , eventually , duping them But , the news of this foolhardy is spreading across thick and fast , that is why the promise of 6 gyms across Kolkata made year back , have not delivered yet & now Infosys/Cognizant/TCS giving pink slips , their foolish business model lost badly Infront gym with Indian equipments too badly , who have signed with FITTERNITY / FITPASS The very excistence of talwalkar even amidst such barrage of marketing shows , the gym , who really take care of members , will get support from them & as per experience , true businessman eyeing long term profit won't see their reputation are shattered due to misdemeanor of few of PT & front desk people The era is very different now , members must interact in the gym & support their gyms & good PT & GT & give due respect they deserves & not let those want to stupify them , fool them easily Good gym in an era of FITTERNITY / FITPASS will earn members & will remain winner for sure

  • 1/5 Rajesh S. 4 years ago on Google
    With yogam , cult fitness in and anytime fitness running unless talwalkar joins fitpass or have proper one day charge no new one will join 7 year old gym Your trainers too will join other gyms or open one in birati , madhyamgram , dum dum by investing 5-7 lakh All know profit of gym and why trainers wont start one themselves The gym will value members will get most and will run longest
