Botswana's Gyms Are A 'Freewheeling' Affair

Batswana, just like any civilised society, have found the need to engage in regular exercise for various reasons all geared towards one goal - attaining physical fitness. This increased need for fitness, especially in urban centres, has led to a booming of gyms and fitness centres.

The public has found solace in these gymnasiums for various reasons, among them to lose weight and bodybuilding; some of them even offer classes such as aerobics, dancing and spinning. But a few cases have recently been reported of people losing their lives in gyms, while exercising. This may occasion fear in some people who may have wanted to join in the trend of fitness.
