About the gym
A para gym,
not a mall gym.
Iron Para Gym opened in 2016 on the ground floor of a house in Jodhpur Park. The owner, Subrata Ghosh, still runs the morning shift himself.
It is one big room. Free weights on one side, machines and cardio on the other, a mat area at the back for classes and stretching. There is a fan over every rack and an AC that works in summer.
- Plates up to 20 kg, dumbbells to 40 kg. Two squat racks, a flat and incline bench, a Smith machine.
- Trainers on the floor, not at the desk. Ask anyone in a black T-shirt for help with form.
- No sales pressure. Plans are on this page. Pay for the month you want, nothing more.
- Women's hour 11 am to 1 pm. Women only on the floor, Monday to Saturday.
