Fitness 8, a newly built facility in Quezon City, aims to cater beginners and experienced gym-goers with their needs and priorities always taken care of -- 24/7.
Featuring six areas where customers can relax, dance, do weights exercises and cardio, and even play games, Fitness 8 is a 500-square-meter hub for all types of health buffs.
There is Lobby Area where customers can sit back and have a respite after a tense workout; a Dance Studio for different classes and group workouts; Functional Area for the ropes, kettles bells, medicine and yoga balls; Free Weights Area for the bodybuilders; and the Cardio Area for individuals who want to sweat it out.

The addition of a gaming zone is still unusual in the country but it provides fitness junkies the cooldown time after pounding it hard in the gym.
Leomar Bilog, a 32-year-old registered nurse and a licensed professional teacher, is behind these innovations only found inside Fitness 8.
Fueling Bilog’s vision is his passion for transformation for each of the gym-goers who are longing to elevate their lifestyle not only physically but also their social, emotional and mental health.
“As a person coming from the health field, I am retracting myself to this venture to fulfill my purpose of advocating health but on a larger and wider platform which is Fitness 8,” said Bilog who has been working in the entrepreneurial field for almost seven years.
“I have a lot in my mind but the transformation of clients is what really makes me motivated at the moment,” he added. “This makes me eager to do more for them. It’s definitely an astounding remark to myself stating, ‘Fitness 8 is 100 percent on the right path.’”
Bilog is aware of the future where people would possibly be more mindful about their wellness as everyone wishes to strengthen their well-being.
“With people being more conscious about their health and with new health conditions arising, more people will begin to realize that they have to invest more on their health and wellness,” Bilog continued.
“Fitness 8 is more than ready to accept these changes and challenges because it is built from this new era and a proud Philippine brand which is ready to serve the people who are already committed to wellness as well as to those who want to start their fitness journey because Fitness 8 is where your fitness journey begins,” he added.
Last June, Bilog opened his first gym on Quezon Avenue in Quezon City, with plans to establish a second branch along España Boulevard in Sampaloc, Manila this November. He is also eyeing more company-owned branches next year, with the possibility of offering franchises the year after.
The Fitness 8 in University Belt would be a perfect spot for students around the area who want to improve their health and help them cope up with their studies and extra curricular activities.
