In the year 1990 dreaming to provide good health and to produce world class sports persons with the noble blessings of Shri L.K.

The Gym saw its first light of the day at the roof top of my house at 699, Parmanand Colony, West Mukherji Nagar, Delhi-9, in the year 1983 when I teamed up with M/s Mahesh Khanna ‘Lovely’, Jugal Kishore Dhawan (my younger brother), Raju, Rajeev, Japani Ahuja, Sunny, Virender Dhawan ‘Bittoo’, Harish Dhawan and a little kid Honey Dhawan (also my younger brother). So far as the gym equipment were concerned one could have termed those as stone-age tools, i.e., the equipment were made out of wheel rims of Fiat car duly fitted with pipe to make Squat Stand, a wooden bench and some other rods and heavy substances.
