The community of Manjai Kunda has a cause to celebrate as the area is now blessed with a modern body building centre, which is unprecedented in the history of the town.

The Centre, Sky High Fitness, is the brainchild of three youths, Lamin Keita, Amadou Njie and Maka Velly.

Located a few meters away from Manjai Lodge, Sky High Fitness has all it takes to be called a first class gym. 

Speaking to Point Sport, Lamin Keita, head of the Centre said that Sky High Fitness is a neighbourhood fitness centre established to bring youths together, adding that they have highly qualified trainers who are there to coach new members.

He said that at present they have a total of 200 registered members, adding that every day people are coming to register with them.

Justifying the formation of Sky High Fitness, Mr Keita said that the area around Manjai Kunda is popular with tourists hence they need a recreational centre where youths and tourists can go to train

He said: “It is medically proven that body building is good for the health.  

“When you come to the gym to train you reduce stress and you also make new friends. So the centre promotes not only good health but also a spirit of oneness and unity. ”

He said that they spent more than D 25, 000 to get the place done, adding that their plan is to develop the gym into a world class fitness centre.

“We built it locally but in a very creative manner. This is the best gym in the surrounding area and it’s affordable,” he noted.
