GI.JO Fitness kickstarts the new year with the grand launching of its third branch in Quezon City on Saturday, January 18.

GI.JO Fitness Araneta City sits at the heart of Manhattan Parkway in Cubao, ready to reach out to the local populace to stay true to its mission of building fit communities.

Humble beginnings

"Since our founding in 2016, more and more people have come to us and express an interest in helping us realize our corporate mission of providing Filipinos affordable, accessible, and sustainable platform to being fit," said Gl.JO Fitness co-founder Gian Colocado. "We're very excited to have a foothold here at Araneta City and further advance our mission," Colocado added.

GIJO Fitness started with a small facility at North Fairview, specializing in boot camp-inspired group exercises it brands as 'Fitcamp.'

The GI.JO experience

"Fitcamp is a series of exercises based on HIIT or high intensity interval training, which is a popular technique for effective fat burn," General Manager for Operations Girlie Castaneda said. "It is intentionally held in a group setting to not only lower down costs for our clients, but to also help create an environment full of motivation," Castaneda added.

But what makes GI.JO Fitness stand out from other fitness centers is its strict practice of coach accountability. This means it keeps and tracks a record of each of its clients to ensure consistent progress based on their established SMART fitness goals.

One of the hardest parts of getting fit is being consistent about it," Gl.JO Fitness Araneta City Lead Coach Joshua Manatlao said. "As coaches, we not only ensure clients get the right fitness program. We also help them stay on track," he added.

What to expect from GIJO Fitness Araneta City

GIJO Fitness Araneta City offers Fitcamp and one-on-one personal training, both available in short and long term packages. Shower and sauna facilities are also available to help clients refresh and relax after a class.

In the coming months, the branch will also be installing several sets of gym equipment, as well as offer other programs including but not limited to Zumba, boxing/muay thai, dance fitness, and many more.

More to come

GIJO Fitness is opening two new branches in the first quarter of 2020- one along Zabarte Road in Novaliches, and another at BGC, Taguig.

"We're also launching new programs and service mix this year to give more exciting choices for our market," Colocado confirmed.
