Colombo is transforming in to a fitness conscious, healthy lifestyle promoting modern metropolis. Once upon a time in the history of our nation, we were a fit people with the ability to build structures and waterworks that marvelled the world. But with the advent of a rat-race lifestyle we somehow lost our way. Fortunately for the new generation though, a healthy lifestyle has become a way of life. Contributing to this is the multitude of gyms, fitness training programs, healthy eateries and food supplements that one can choose from.

When it comes to choosing the right gym Colombo is spoilt for choice, but you need to be extremely wise to choose one that fits your metabolic make-up, budget and time schedules. One other important factor is the competency of the trainers and their professionalism. A combination of all these factors is Ultimate Fitness.

Ultimate Fitness is the brainchild of former National Weightlifting Champion Nalaka Athukorala and German Qualified Dr. Nilmini Nanayakkara. Currently the CEO of Ultimate Fitness, Athukorale, has been exposed to both national and international gymnasiums since his teenage years.

Using his experience and knowledge gained over the years, he developed the aptitude and inside knowledge on interior design, thereby creating an ergonomically sound layout for Ultimate Fitness packed with state-of-the-art equipment.

“A lot of thought went into the design and layout of this innovative fitness centre. Technogym is the equipment used by Olympic Athletes in the Olympic Villages which are of the highest standard. Even the flooring was especially imported from USA to reduce stress and strain on your joints while exercising. It’s a gym designed, built and managed by fitness professionals for fitness enthusiasts. It offers both indoor and outdoor activities to suit individual members,” Athukorala said.
