Question: How Popular Is BodyBuilding In India???


Question Description:
I am currently exploring business opportunities in India and I was contemplating the establishment of more fitness clubs / gyms as well as Bodybuilding associations.Indians are not exactly famous for their bodybuilding prowess but I have noticed that the few that do it, tend to be very good at it. I was just wondering how popular bodybuilding is in India?

Answer#1: Indians have great bodies by default...


Answer#2: not that popular its more of a fad.. kerala is one state i seen serious body builders do it with passion and long term.metro cities are more fitness consious not much into body building they just wanna look good and stay fit


Answer#3: Bodybuilding is not very popular in India where major games like cricket, football are more famous & seek more media attention.


Answer#4: Not very popular as India is a poor country & games & athletics is not given due importance in most of educational institutions, most of whom do not have their own playgrounds even. In small cities it will be a flop business .Only in metro cities some hope is there but land cost is highly prohibitive. Average body build up has very low standard in India.
