The gym is divided into five main zones, each designed to meet specific wellness needs. These include the Body Fitness Zone, which features machines that help stimulate and activate different body parts; the Stretching and Recovery Zone, equipped with massage and therapy machines for joint flexibility and recovery; and the Strength Training Zone, which offers equipment targeting arms, legs, and other muscle groups.
There is also an Aerobic Zone, where general fitness exercises are performed to music, and a Cardio Zone, dedicated to improving heart function and blood circulation.
Speaking at the launch, Dr. Francis Habumugisha, CEO of Goodrich Business Group, emphasized that the gym complements their ongoing initiative called "Medium Fitness Gym at Workplace or Home", encouraging people to set up personal gyms at home or at work.
“We sell gym equipment for only $11,500 to anyone who wants to stay fit from the comfort of their home or workplace,” he explained.
Dr. Habumugisha said that Goodrich Group Lifecare has supported over 19,600 clients in Rwanda alone, with many testimonies confirming improved health outcomes through their products.
He added that the idea to establish a gym was born out of concern over people misusing poorly managed gyms, often leading to injury.
“I realized many people don’t have guidance in gyms. That’s why we set up a gym with professional trainers and machines that serve all needs,” he said.
The gym, which cost $250,000 to equip, boasts 86 machines, enough to serve as many users simultaneously. It can accommodate over 300–400 clients per day.
The facility also features diagnostic machines that evaluate an individual’s physical condition before starting workouts, ensuring users operate within safe limits.
“We introduced body assessment systems that help determine what your body can handle before you start using the gym,” Dr. Habumugisha said.
The launch event was attended by high-profile guests, including Ambassador Naeem Khan of Pakistan, former Prime Minister Bernard Makuza, singer Mariya Yohana, and Kigali Independent University (ULK) Chancellor Prof. Rwigamba Balinda.
Prof. Rwigamba praised the idea of encouraging home and workplace gyms. “Their supplements contain vital vitamins. Having fitness spaces at home or work is a smart and preventive health measure, which I strongly support,” he said.
Singer Mariya Yohana shared her personal experience, saying that Goodrich products helped her manage memory loss and joint pain. “I couldn’t even bend due to past injuries. But after using their nutritional supplements, I regained strength and now do my chores,” she testified.
