parks fitness and recreational places in Pakistan..enough or not?

so since all you nadeeday, chatoray, marbhukkay ae going on about nihari and paya and what nots, do u think there are enough recreational facilities, or the right atmosphere to even try and be fit.

It seems like pretty uch every area has some open ‘maidaan’ where ppl go to play sports etc or even run.

I did not see a whole lot of ppl running in the streets, in the early hours i bnoticed some guys out running, probably run, get home ashower and go to work or uni etc.

does not look like women have much opportunities for fitness there, some parts of society had access to gymkhana and sindh club etc, i saw ladies at national coaching center in the evenings as well. but there are no facilities in every area i think

Pakistan can be a big market for moderately priced home gym equipment :slight_smile:

Haaji Club in FB Area used to be called Asia’s biggest Fitness club back in the days… I am not sure how true it was … I never visited inside of it… always used to pass by walking, cycling and driving from the place :cb:

Yes it can be my door paar ki cousin have a gym in Isloo and its going pretty well . :)

haji club was pretty big, had some friends who worked out there and got absolutely huge and ripped or compared to the mases.. freaks of nature. This is in late 80's when fitness was not a big thing in pakistan escept for arncol and stallone fans like those guys.

There was also a huge club in shah faisal colony #1 or #2, went there a few times for matches. also the CAA club by the airport.

but most gyms seemed to be sausagefests u know..all men

Where was Karachi Gymkhana located?

Re: parks fitness and recreational places in Pakistan..enough or not?

club road

There are loads x2 lalay … I mean you got Karachi Club, Gymkhana, Marina and Golf club. Karachi club mainly for its swimming pool. I have heard that they have recently renovated it … Marina club is okayish because they never maintain it.

For Gymkhana, I guess the crowd is supposed to be “Elite” but who cares since from its all “buddaY” discussing politics. But If ya are a golfer well then its your heaven ..

DHA Golf and Country club is bit waste of money.. wouldn’t reckon that

The memberships of these clubs were affordable like some 10 to 15 years ago and that is when MOST of the current members actually got those memberships..

Thesedays . forget about it …

And these expensive recreational clubs are just for the elite class … ya know

Gareeb ka bacha tu ajkaal Haji club be afford nahi kaRsaktah …

Re: parks fitness and recreational places in Pakistan..enough or not?

aliyish well its the masses I am asking about. where do they go? or do they not go anywhere?

They goto Sabri Nihari for the proteins first then goto Cafe Piyala to cleanse out fat from throat :chai:

you know i always wondered abt that, how regular women manage to stay fit, richer women can go to the fancy all womens gyms (shapes etc) but in lahore i hardly saw any gyms for the rest of the women.......

ghar ka jharoo pocha kar ke :sunnyboy:

Re: parks fitness and recreational places in Pakistan..enough or not?

X2 you kidding me ???
we only have parks in lahore. Because ONLY lahore is pakistan , and every place else is not.

We use to drive around every single weekend looking for empty Football fields.

Its freakin sad.

Says someone who lives in Tora Bora :rotfl:

dude tora bora/lahore and NWFP is blessed with open spaces.
Place to walk around and stuff.

Rest of the Pakistan is an athlete’s nightmare. Trust me!!!

Re: parks fitness and recreational places in Pakistan..enough or not?

I have seen enough parks in Lahore where women do the walking/jogging.They have trails etc. I would say there are enough of em.

One thing is in Karachi I didnt see a lot, maybe because of the fact the beach provides a place to go and do the fitness walking /jogging.What do you guys think?

Re: parks fitness and recreational places in Pakistan..enough or not?

^true both jangy nwaz/shehbaz only think about lahore.
They money they put to improve living in lahore is just ridiculous.
I mean other cities needs attention too.

I would say even Rawalpindi /Islamabad have enough parks. Which other cities r you talking about?

Re: parks fitness and recreational places in Pakistan..enough or not?

ALL the the other cities.

Name any.

Re: parks fitness and recreational places in Pakistan..enough or not?

Lahore is pakistan’s GF.
Well taken care of.
