Spartans has two huge training rooms. One with larger weights and one for all your fitness and toning needs.

Spartan boys were trained from the age of six years to be great athletes and warriors.

The Spartans led a disciplined life and so dominated the ancient Greek Olympics as a result it was the Spartan Warriors that were the first real body builders.

The Spartans were feared muscular fighting machines who fought and won battles at incredible odds.

Their motto of NO RETREAT, NO SURRENDER was put to test, In one famous battle to Thermopyae it was there that the KingLeonidad with 300 Spartans held for a few days an advancing Persian army of thousands. They fought courageously until the finish when they were all killed.
