Last year, they won gold medals at the National Sports Festival, and furthermore, participated as national representatives in the ‘2023 World Bodybuilding Championships,’ winning gold medals for three consecutive years, establishing themselves as the best bodybuilding team.
The program will run from the first class on April 2 until May 28, every Tuesday from 7 PM to 9 PM. It is designed for a total of 270 Gwangjin-gu residents aged 18 and over, with 15 people per session at the Gwangjin-gu Sports Center and Junggok Culture and Sports Center gyms, totaling 9 sessions.
In a small group format where one athlete coaches five people, the program offers level-specific customized lectures so that beginners to advanced participants can exercise systematically.
Participants can learn correct exercise methods for free through precise lectures on ▲ how to use various exercise equipment ▲ exercise methods for different body parts ▲ stretching and bodyweight exercise postures.
Residents wishing to participate can apply from March 18 through the ‘Participation and Communication’ section on the Gwangjin-gu Office website. Applications are on a first-come, first-served basis, and applicants must select their preferred session and location. For further inquiries, contact the Gwangjin-gu Office Sports Promotion Division.
