Our Story: Building Mumbai's Fitness Community
We started with three friends, a big dream, and just two kids. Today, we are a thriving community across Mumbai, making fitness fun for everyone from little ones to adults.
We started Hurdles to combat the negative impacts of a sedentary, digital lifestyle on children's health. This video explains our mission to improve kids' fitness, focus, and energy, and how we've grown from just two kids to a thriving community.
This video celebrates our two-year journey. We started with simple drills in a local park and have grown into a fully equipped fitness center, but our mission to provide a healthier lifestyle for kids has remained the same.
We are excited to announce that Hurdles Fitness is now in Thane. Our expansion allows us to bring our next-generation fitness programs for kids and adults to even more families, helping build a healthier community one session at a time.
About Our Story & Growing Community
We didn't set out to open a typical gym. When we started, we were just three friends who saw too many kids glued to screens and not enough moving. We quit our jobs, started training two kids in a local park, and built this place on the philosophy of Mehnat kar pasina baha—work hard, sweat, and keep going. Whether it is kids finding their focus or adults unwinding after a long workday, we focus on the real progress that happens when you actually enjoy your training.
What makes Hurdles different isn't the equipment, it's the energy. We spent the last two years turning a simple idea into a network of centers across Ghatkopar, Tilaknagar, Chembur, and Mulund.
Growing Together
We believe fitness isn't a chore; it is a family habit. Our spaces are designed to be safe, loud, and full of action. We have moved from training in open parks to fully equipped fitness studios with rubberized flooring, agility ladders, and monkey bars, but the core mission remains unchanged. We wanted to combat the sedentary lifestyle that digital devices have forced on our children.
