Introduction
Physical activity is basically the name given to the movement of body and change in posture resulting from the
skeletal muscles. This movement requires spending of energy. It is significant to point here that “Physical
Activity” does not mean you are exercising. However, physical activity involves exercising, which is indeed one
of the inherent parts. Exercise follows a very structured approach, and has the purpose behind it. As the popular
saying goes – “Body with Sound Health Has a Sound Thinking” and it is quite right.
If your mind is not balanced you cannot reap the benefits of exercise in true sense, and all your efforts would not
produce any worthwhile results whatsoever. People, who are weak, appear to be dull or problems in walking are
People having a strict and regular exercising regimen would always be ahead of others in every sense. Regular
exercising activity makes the individual happy too. But, it is very important to understand that exercise does not
necessarily mean that you have to make visits to the gym or any formalized exercising club. Exercise is valuable in

you are taking the step ahead towards building a good and balanced life.
Preserving physical fitness and keeping the exercising regimen held together would give rise to physiological
benefits.
II –Literature Review
Proper exercising helps in maintaining the body balances and biochemical reactions inside the body. Light weight
exercises are useful for keeping everything in far more organized way than otherwise. Here is the review of
literature that showcases development of research and the outcome of exercises over the period of years.
Long term exercise module will bring phenomenal changes in depression and anxiety (Morgan and Goldston
1987). Exercising in a more detailed way would reduce the anxiety and there is a physiological enhancement
lasting for almost 4 hours (Hannum and Kasch, 1981; Raglin and Morgan 1987). Anxiety reduced by means of
exercises followed by brief interventions brings relaxation (Bharke and Morgan in 1979).
Physical activity is crucial for advancement of regular and normal human functionalities and this is also essential
in adding to the longevity. Gordon Larsen et al (2007). Entertaining activities aid in the development ofsocial
skills and keeps the balance of motor functions and all of it further enhances the development of real creativity
(Gleave& Cole-Hamilton, 2012).Introducing a strong physical regimen early in childhood through the
maintenance of muscular fitness as well as cardio respiratory system leads to good results. On the other hand
There are several instances where the physical activity either in the home or elsewhere will help in keeping the
chronic diseases at bay or protect the body on all times. (Warburton, Nichol & Bredin,2006). Maintaining regular
activities in adults helps in the development of stamina and vigor and ensures betterment of life in the adults for
more than decade in the adult population of the UK (DH, 1996).Following a sedentary and sitting lifestyle has
deep effect on the mental wellbeing of the population and may result in the stress, anxiety and other kinds of social
and physical problems (Netz, Wu,Becker, &Tenenbaum, 2005). Irregular or absence of physical activities from
the life of individuals may result into obesity and many other types of severe malfunctioning and diseases. Such
diseases may often be considered as irreversible in nature. (King et al, 2001); (Hu et al, 2004).
Many people who visit the gyms for physical activities and exercising with the intention to improve the quality of
life may are often mistaken by irrelevant idea (WHO, 2004). Only a mere 30 minutes of moderate physical activity
undertaken by the individuals in the premises of gyms do not cause any substantial control over the weight gain in
adults (DH, 2004, Blair, Lamonte&Nichaman,2004) . Due to more stress laid on the children and growing adults
in the schools and colleges, less and less number of students is spending their time in the physical activities,
People who are consistent with the physical activities are capable of maintaining their functional fitness as they
continue to grow old and become grappled by the infirmities (O‟Brien-Cousins &Gillis, 2004; Leino-Arjas,
Solovieva, Riihima¨ki, Kirjonen&Telama, 2004. Regular exercising in gyms or elsewhere in the natural
surroundings is known to cause reduction in physical effects related to the human aging process,(McMurdo,2000).
People falling in the lower social strata have lower accessibility to physical activities and it is for this reason they
show lower rate of inactivity (Hillsdon, Foster, Naidoo& Crombie2004). In the similar fashion, Rowe, Beasley and
Adams (2004) found out that people who symbolized the lower socio-economic set of patterns were leading a slow
Health activities and exercising in the leisure time has a direct proportion to the income generated by men and
womenHealth for England Survey (1998). It is also suggested that physical activities undertaken during the time
of leisure is useful in reducing all kinds of risks associated with the early death. Further, for maintaining the
health, it is essential to maintain regular kind of physical activities (Harvard Alumni Study, 1978, 1986, 2000.

III. Objectives
1) to search for the gyms where weight management is practiced, adding to health benefits;
2) to explore the benefits of new age gyms on health understanding of the youth;
A good maintenance of physical activity on daily routine basis would be influential and useful in the development
of body and maintaining the posture for long times to come. Such an activity will reduce the occurrence of several
types of chronic diseases including the occurrence of type II diabetes, cancer and the cardiovascular diseases on
the whole. Individuals who do not indulge in any kind of physical activity will result in the reduction of their
Physical activity and gym exercising is important for the grown-ups and the older population, however the extent
and frequency to which these exercises are to be done vary from one point of time to another. The effect of
physical activity on cognition helps in building up of higher values and noteworthy increases in cardiorespiratory
fitness although this fitness may not be considered at par with the older population. The strength and physical
fitness of individuals who come under the younger population is quite high over the other group of people who do
The neurocognitive functions related to physical exercising can be ascertained on much higher terrain as compared
to people who are not exercising at all. The cerebral cortex shows an increased activity among the exercise takers,
while those who are on the passive mode of exercising or gym activity show a remarkable downsizing. As the
result, the memory functions as well as the power to memorize shows a lower rate among the people who do not

A few of the early and most convincing results about physical exercising comes from the real fact that exercising,

The reality of life is that while young people are moving gradually towards a hi tech life style, they also need to be
sure that moving to such a direction would eventually put their physical fitness on a complete halt. Young have to
show the quality of their lives, and this is when gym exercises as well as other forms of exercising activities would
bring the change and young people show their prolonged fitness.
Research Methodology
It is noteworthy to recognise the sentiments of the individuals who go out openly for the advanced gyms look for
style and advancements as much as they look for cool workouts. The research methodology realized for studying
as well as analysis of the need of gym and exercising in the hi-technology environments is based on internet
research and comparison. All such research and comparison will be undertaken by forming an interpretation of
secondary resources. Apart from the secondary resources, a few primary resources were also consulted to form a
However, it is also to be noted that there were no conceptual or other type of references were made with respect to
the research conducted on the basis of primary data. Furthermore, the extent of studies and research
methodologies that were incorporated in the preparation of thisresearch paper is focused on the patterns and the
During the process of writing research paper, all the necessary secondary data has been analysed, corroborated
following various literatures, online magazines, and several other journals, besides consulting the gym owners to
Since the incidence of COVID 19there has been only a limited obtainability of the materialand other form of
evidence available about the need of young population to visit the gyms.Infact, the critical COVID 19 situation has
also restricted flow of realistic data about on type of products that the prospective gym goers like to go around
with.
The gyms in Delhi have an international character, and these are also equipped with the best and innovative
methodologies and equipment, which is essential for the overall development of body and physique. The younger
lot, and this includes both males and females are regular goers to these hi-tech gyms and attracted to the
methodologies and innovation out there. There is no point of contention here that the modern gyms of Delhi hold a
special place in the young population for many obvious reasons. Much of it also relates to the lifestyle
requirements as much as the gyms have to do with work outs and maintaining the overall well-being of the
individuals. The gyms that were researched and the data collated in respect of that shows that gyms do not provide
direct connectivity to the members. These are the regular gym goers, which reach the gym site on their private
vehicles. Almost every gym has got new age exercising equipment, and the best guides, which provide customized
training to its members. The ultimate need of exercising in these high tech gyms is therefore settled and fulfilled.
The benefits of exercising in these gyms are also complemented by the idea that the atmosphere and the inner
climes are spacious with plenty of room space that allows comfortable walking. These gyms are also supplied by
the state of the art gym and yoga equipment. Almost every hi tech and corporate gym is offering facilities like the
TRX Training, Strength Training along with Gym Kick Boxing as well as mixed martial arts. There is a mix and
match of the activities carried out in these gyms, which means that the individual gym goers are enjoying the
In this respect, the need of exercising and carrying the regular work outs has always been the right way and means
to overcome monotonous lifestyle, stress and social obligations within the typical Indian family. Since the gyms
are flexible with regard to their working hours, this is indeed one of the key beneficial factors to think about.
Regardless of the areas where these gyms are located in Delhi, almost each one of these gyms have the same
The best thing about exercising in such gyms is that individuals feel relaxed and contended. The options to
exercise are unlimited, and all such options are available at one place. And above all, gyms have maintained an
The innovative and hi-tech gyms in Delhi are valuable addition to the quality of life, and at the same time, such
gyms bring an overall change in the personality and thought of the individuals, leading to better life management.
Suggestions
The new millennium has given a new way of life for the younger lot, who have out of sheer curiosity taken
towards the development of their physicality, and engage in lifestyle activities that brings a completely changed
personality and a broader outlook. However, these new age and innovative exercise modeling centers also need to
be looked from a different perspective, especially as discussed in the context of changing times and health
While the size and style of the hi- tech gyms cannot be undermined, there is always the need to take the current
COVID 19 situation into consideration. India has already become the second in line as far as the active COVID 19
cases are looked. Through the online research and the literature studied, these gyms do not have an efficient and
regular testing of the COVID 19. It means that the individuals who are regular visitors are not checked in a
legitimate way on about their COVID condition. The only method used is temperature monitoring, and if the
individual who enters the gym space does not have high temperature, it is understood that that the individual is
Therefore, it is suggested that only such individuals or members are allowed into the gym who have the certificate
from government body or local dispensary that shows that the individual is free from Corona Virus. In this
manner, a diseased free and congenial environment for the work outs could be maintained, and a consistent healthy
Another factor to look into is that although the hi technology and new age gyms are offering spinning, group
Classes, power yoga, Combine Training, TRX Training, and provided with Cardio Equipment, Strength Training
Equipment, Stretching Area, Music and Video Entertainment, Zumba Classes Yoga, there is always a unique need
for every member, and this should be judged by gym authorities on various parameters. One of the suggestions
therefore is that these gyms should not only work on the general parameters but specific parameters should be
And finally the trainers working out here are friendly and have the necessary qualifications; they also need to
regularly upgrade their qualifications from time to time keeping in line with the international standards. More
importantly, such trainers should have an international reputation and name in the field of gym and workouts.
Conclusion
In the league of concluding the research paper, it could be inferred that body building not necessarily means
staying healthy or likewise keeping yourself fit and structured. Rather there are the times when you begin to feel
that too much of exercising activity leads to complete physical depreciation as well as reducing your mental
health. It could be concluded herewith that individuals maintaining a strong exercising regimen may also get
affected in terms of their body and health. But by overall means, exercising in gyms or at homes help in
