I come to the park every day for walking. Open gym is one good initiative taken by GHMC to make people fit and healthy. As there is heavy rush in the park during morning, I visit the gym in the afternoon. Three equipments are already damaged. It would good if the GHMC officials appoint a trainer to guide the people so that they would work out properly
