Belair was started in 1983 october 15, with the specific intention of guiding an interested beginner in the most scientific and medical method available to bodybuilding. Every student was asked to bring along a notebook so that I, personally can prescribe an exercise routine and monitor his/her workout. Each student was required to fill in the columns marked for a specific exercise, the weight used, the number of repetitions performed and other details as is required of him. This is a practise I continue even today and after having written down more than 200,000 exercise routines and schedules in the last 23 years, I can safely say that Belair is only health club in the world which has institutionalised personalised training, always without charging an extra penny other than the regular monthly fees. I also proudly state that I am probably the only gymnasium owner who knows every member by name and that is more than 1000 registered members. We also have an expert team of doctors who can answer all clinical queries of the members. I always have and will continue to fight the false notions and practices surrounding weight training, such as training with weights will stunt your growth, it is bad idea for women, and host of other pseudo-scientific theories which I shall elucidate on, in the days to come. We have and we will continue to do our best to make weight training the most popular sport in India.
