It isn’t enough to go through a fitness regime and follow it. Have you tried testing your skills with that of your peers? That’s what members of Helios fitness centre in Jubilee Hills are doing this week. Mr.Fit & Ms. Fit Helios is an annual event at the gym. The contest was inaugurated by actors Sumanth and Charmee.

With M.Chandrashekher Reddy, director of the gym, being a pesonal trainer to a number of stars, it didn’t come as a surprise that a number of well-known personalities competed for the respective titles. Charmee, though, was nursing a bad neck and back after meeting with an accident during one of her shooting schedules.

The women started by running on the treadmill to see who covers the maximum distance in a given time. This was followed by tests on the elliptical cross trainer for 15 mines and the results were checked depending on how many calories the participants burnt. These two events checked the cardiovascular fitness. Other tests to check their endurance, stretch and flexibility were max crunches, max weight in bench press, max weight in squats and maxinum number of pull-ups and push ups.

The tests for women were held on Friday, followed by tests for men during the weekend. The final winners in each segment will be announced and prizes will be distributed on the fifth anniversary of Helios, later this month.

The women participants were Divya reddy, Sanjana Reddy, Reshmi Maheshwari, Anuradha, Prasunna Reddy, Prasana Reddy, Renu Sukeja, Sravanthi Reddy, Swetha, Apoorva, Rachana Reddy, Kalpana, V. Prathima, Supraja Reddy, Nitya Reddy, Rohini Boppana and others. The men participants included Sucheth Rao, Arjun Rao, Vara prashad Reddy, Anandh Rao, Praveen, Ravi, Surya, Varun , Goutam Reddy, Kirshna Reddy, Kota Reddy, Srikanth, Vijay Rahul, Vishal Goud, Manpreeth and Ravindra.
