Do more than break a sweat: List of Fight Gyms in Metro Manila
Diet and exercise have long been staples of being fit, but can you really follow a monotonous exercise routine? Fighting sports are a great way of getting and staying in shape, as well as learning how to defend yourself if you ever decide to walk through a dark alley.
There are a lot of fight gyms in Metro Manila, and while most of them offer quality training, not everyone has that kind of time to go out and explore the many different gyms the city has.
