Bulacan folks don’t have to go somewhere else to stay fit, healthy, and attractive. And confident, too.
That’s because a modern one-stop fitness center co-owned by PBA star Scottie Thompson with former boxing champion Gerry Peñalosa as one of the collaborators will soon rise at Mighty Sports City inside the 20-hestare AcroCity located in Guiguinto, Bulacan.
Envisioned by Czark Mak Group as a “Live, Work, Play” lifestyle hub, the AcroCity is becoming as the place to be in Guiguinto being home to Acro Residences Hotel, restaurants like Cafe de Margaux and Mt. Fuji and event venues (Ang Hardin) and NDW Plaza – named after the Wongchuking family matriarch Nelia D. Wongchuking – and the T12 Polo Land.
And with the soon-to-rise The Hustle Fitness Performance center, AcroCity is now capable to respond to the growing needs of sports-loving Bulakenyos.
“The place is almost perfect to our venture and we want the youth of Bulacan to be physically fit and mentally stable,” said Fritz Lacap, one of the Hustle Performance owners. “This is our own way to promote health and wellness.”
Czark Mak Chairman Caesar Wongchuking, along with sons Angelo and Keith, and T12 Polo Land business development officer TY Tang, welcomed the latest tenant to its sprawling sports facilities, saying the arrival of a well-known fitness training center – the biggest in the province – would make the AcroCity almost complete.
Apart from the fitness center, AcroCity also features a 1,000 square meter pickleball, badminton and volleyball courts not mention a spacious jogging area.
“It is with great pride and honor that we will now have one of the country’s popular fitness centers in AcroCity. The Hustle is a welcome addition to our hub,” said Tang during the recent signing of the memorandum of agreement in Makati.
Thompson, one of the certified superstars in the PBA, and Peñalosa are thrilled to have their fitness center stand as one of the main attractions of the complex as it boasts of precision-engineered equipment including an advanced fitness machine from Xtreme Gym.
“What we are bringing here in AcroCity is for the good of Bulacan and nearby provinces, especially for the young ones,” said Penalosa.
Amiable Bulacan Vice Governor Alexis Castro and Ariel Ramos, the two other owners of The Hustle, also graced the signing of MOA along with Czark Mak officers Geofrey Gadiana and Joseph Ngo.
