About Vajra
Built by trainers who were tired of gyms that leave beginners alone
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.”
