"I am visiting India for the last two years and see a change on the scenario as far as the women fitness is concerned. Women in India and even in South Africa are the same where they involved in their daily chores as head of the family. They have to make food, raising kids and managing all the house which makes them so exhaust to turn up for fitness. It's time now for the men to take initiative and help the women to understand the meaning of fitness which leads to a healthy life and family," said Loggenberg.
Physiotherapist and strength coach Dr. Drashti Shah said the women came to gyms when they wants to heal from a injury. The trend is same for years but now it has to be reversed and the women came to the gym for fitness as a whole.
