The Playground fitness: Press Play

How to achieve job satisfaction, according to the Internet: if you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life. Now, let’s try to apply this same principle to exercise and fitness: if you find a physical activity that you enjoy, your workout won’t feel like a chore. Simple enough, right? According to CJ Lee, co-founder of The Playground Fitness in Bangsar, this was definitely a factor that contributed to the formation of the boutique gym. “Fitness has always been an intimidation for many out there,” Lee explains. “It was our aim to break the barriers by instilling fun and bringing the “play” factor into fitness. Better yet, we wanted to create a space which inspired us adults to do what we used to do as kids, and therefore the name ‘Playground’ was born.”
