Zumba and HIIT classes for every level, mornings and evenings. Stand at the back on day one; nobody singles you out.

October 2026
I was nervous walking in. Suraj started me on the basics and messaged me when I skipped a week. I actually like going now.
BeginnerSeptember 2026
The prices were on the wall and matched what they said on WhatsApp. No surprise fees at the counter. I’ve been to three gyms in Baneshwor and this is the first one where the price I was quoted was the price I paid. Admission fee was explained up front too.
FeesOctober 2026
The ladies-only hour and a woman trainer were the reason I joined. Clean changing room too.
August 2026
I go at 6 AM before office. A trainer is on the floor even that early.
Early hoursJuly 2026
I froze my membership during exams with one message. No argument, and the days were added to the end like they said.
FreezeSeptember 2026
Boxing classes start with footwork and pads. Nobody pushed me into sparring. Nima is patient with beginners but the conditioning rounds at the end are no joke. Gloves to borrow for the first few weeks, then I bought my own.
October 2026
Pema asked before correcting my form by touch. Small thing, but it’s why I stayed.
Ladies gymAugust 2026
My trainer wrote everything down, so I never stood in the middle of the floor wondering what to do next. Only reason for 4 stars: parking is tight in the evening, come on foot if you can.
Personal trainerSeptember 2026
I’m 58 and was worried I’d be the oldest one there. I was, and nobody cared.
BeginnerOctober 2026
The sauna after an evening session is the best part of my week. Always clean, towels ready, and the steam room actually gets hot.
July 2026
Saturday morning opening is the only reason I can train during exam season.
SaturdaySeptember 2026
They told me honestly that the Gym plan was enough for me. Most places would have sold me a trainer. I went back three months later and asked for one myself, because by then I knew what I wanted from it.
FeesAugust 2026
Arjun checked my deadlift from the side and from behind before letting me add weight. My back thanks him. Good racks, enough plates, and I’ve rarely waited for a bench after 8 PM.
October 2026
I came with my sister to the ladies-only hour. Now I come on my own, at any time.
Ladies gymSeptember 2026
The trainer on the floor at 5:30 AM actually walks around and helps, not just sits at the desk. Gets crowded between 6 and 7, so I moved to 5:15 and it’s quiet.
August 2026
Zumba on Thursday is loud and silly and I love it. Good teacher, good music.
October 2026
I asked about food and got a plan with dal bhat in it, not chicken breast and broccoli.
NutritionJuly 2026
Clean changing room, working showers, lockers that lock. You’d think that was normal. It isn’t, at the price.

About Vajra
The gym opened in New Baneshwor in 2019 with two trainers and one rule: nobody trains without a plan. The founders had trained in gyms where beginners were left on the treadmill and prices changed at the desk, and built the opposite.
“People don’t quit the gym because it’s hard. They quit because nobody notices when they stop coming.”
Opened in New Baneshwor with two trainers and a strength floor.
Added the boxing area and group classes.
Added the sauna and steam room and the ladies-only morning hour.
Six trainers, open seven days, prices published in full.
Trainers are on the floor, not on their phones. Meet the trainers.
