Fitness no longer about going to gym: Hrithik

HRITHIK ROSHAN FEELS that just going to the gym will no longer help youngsters build their desired body; they’ll need to adopt a holistic approach as well.

He believes that they need discipline, education, information and guidance to reach their goal.

“Health and fitness doesn’t just mean body or the exercise. It means your mind, your heart and your spirit,” said Hrithik, an actor who focus a great deal on physical fitness.

He was talking to reporters while announcing the launch of three fitness centres of Curefit Healthcare, a company he has invested in.

Hrithik, who has co-created workouts and routines for Curefit under his brand HRX, said he was happy to be part of Curefit where “so many things are integrated into one.”

“One contribution that I can ever make to my fans, to people, to the children of this country and the world is on the lines of health and fitness,” said Hrithik, who declined to divulge the equity he holds in the company.

He said the human potential that has been discovered is unlimited and that people want to be better than what they are now. “The holistic approach that Curefit offers is going to change the way people look at fitness,” he added.

Launched two years ago, Curefit plans to expand rapidly by opening more centres in different parts of the country.

The company, which recently raised $120 million, is looking to increase the total number of its fitness centres to 200 in 5-6 cities by the end of 2019. It currently has 60 centres in Bengaluru, Delhi, Mumbai and Hyderabad.
