With fitness communities coming into vogue, Tower Twisters is one such community. Initially set up by a small group of five fitness enthusiasts on April 2, 2014, it has now grown into an active community of over 300 members.
Every week, members combine community runs and strength training sessions. They assemble on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays for runs, and on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays for strength training.
While speaking to two of the coordinators, Mr Shaji and Ms Priya, this reporter learned that the group participates in and follows all Chennai Runners events, with the Freshworks Chennai Marathon being their flagship event.
People assemble at 5 a.m. every day at Bougainvillea Park, Anna Nagar, to begin their runs and prepare themselves for upcoming marathons and running events. Meanwhile, the strength training sessions typically take place at Tower Park (Lake Point View).
Accessible to all, interested individuals only need to visit the community’s official website to register and become a part of the group. Accommodating people aged 18 and above, the community caters to all fitness levels.
With the rise of communities such as these, where members motivate each other while embracing diversity, it becomes easier to make fitness a daily habit and prioritise personal well-being.
