Royal MNL Fitness: The Dream Gym

Lots of people dream of being in shape, having a well-toned body, and maintaining optimum health. That is why they exercise at the gym. 

Now, while some sporadically rush to the fitness machines, especially after all the holiday bingeing, others have made it their lifestyle choice to work out all that accumulated calories.

This dream dovetails with the lifetime aspiration of Conrado Gicanal, or GK, as he is fondly called. 

Having a passion for fitness, GK had always wanted to have his own gym even when he was still a kid. And so, after years of hurdling one challenge after the other, a journey from rags to riches then and now on his way up the wheel of fortune again, he finally decided to fulfill his dream by opening Royal MNL Fitness at the Level 3 of Fisher Mall on Quezon Avenue, Quezon City.

GK’s inclination towards health and fitness was also inspired by his former career as a real estate broker.

Royal MNL Fitness’ open concept allows clients to view everything that the gym has to offer even at first glance. After breezing through a warm and welcoming reception area, they may first notice the group of exercise machines on the left side of the 850 sqm meter space. There, trainers and coaches are on hand to assist clients with their regimens.

GK is very particular with how clients are treated by the coaches. Having been a client in other gyms himself, he laments the lack of compassion for the paying customer.  

“After you enroll, a coach is appointed to teach you. But after two days, the coach is already trying to sell you other programs. Because I did not buy any of what he was offering, he left me alone to my own devices. It was a good thing I knew how to execute the correct fitness routine. But what about those who don’t?”

GK wants to change this mindset. So when he opened Royal MNL Fitness, he told his coaches: “I don’t want to have that same culture in this gym. I want all of you to have compassion for the clients. Whether they buy more programs or not, as long as they are enrolled, we should be there to guide and assist them with the proper way of doing their fitness routines.”

Aside from the exercise machines, health buffs have more to get excited about when they go around Royal MNL Fitness gym. 

Those who take their cardio workout seriously can climb all the mountains they imagine while navigating the treadmill and elliptical machines situated by the big bay windows. There is a boxing ring for practicing those Pacquiao moves. 

A track oval is available for those who want to run around or cross train.  An activity area hosts classes for zumba, kinesis, wushu, aikido, capoeira, taekwondo, and other styles of martial arts. More fitness and wellness programs are in the pipeline as GK grows the only gym at Fisher Mall.

And now, GK’s dream is evolving. He says: “I want Royal MNL Fitness to become a chain of gyms, targeting three branches every year.” In fact, he is considering opening a branch at the Fisher Mall currently under construction in Malabon. And he is also setting his sights on the South, with Fisher Mall in Alabang coming soon.
