A4 craze sparks a yearn for fitness
Print Edition
THE latest craze for posting photos of A4 sheets held in front of women’s waists to prove how thin they are seems to have grabbed the attention of some Jiading residents.
In their quest for what they see as the perfect figure, many have been turning to fitness centers and Jiading residents are fortunate in having several 365 Baixing fitness centers across the district where getting fit is affordable thanks to the local government.
The 365 Baixing Fitness Center on Xincheng Road was the first one to open in Jiading. With 30 sets of fitness equipment in a 300-square-meter area, the center attracts both young and old.
On average more than 100 people visit the center every day and it already has more than 3,000 members.
The 365 Baixing Fitness Center in Nanxiang Town plans to open to public later this month. With a total area of 1,000 square meters, the center will add training classes to meet demand. With a membership card, residents can also get access to other fitness centers under the support of the township government.
The 365 Baixing Fitness Center on the 4th floor of Mayflower Food Square in Juyuan New Area allows Wu Jianghua, 65, to exercise whenever he wants as he lives opposite the square. The center has 105 square meters with three fitness areas and a locker room.
In northern Jiading, residents are suggesting setting up more mini fitness centers to allow more residents to get fit.
