Abstract
the nation which has reduced a large percentage of
Nigerians to sedentary spectators. This development
among Nigerians of attending commercial fitness
centres should be recognised as part of progressive
programs for stimulating Nigerian economy. Evidences
available from studies support the concept that
healthy citizens make a healthy nation. Experiences
with factories and industries which have fitness
programs as part of employee benefits showed reduced
number of lost working hours (absenteeism) less
hospital bills and more people in service for longer
years because there are no premature retirements due
to one disease or the other,, These consequently
increased production and the establishments became
more profitable.
The disturbing aspect of commercial based
exercise program centres in this country however, is
whether the services they provide are worth the money
paid them by their clients.
The thesis is aimed at designing the appropriate
spaces required in order that the whole concept of
physical health be attained in the right way and
hopefully make the authorities realise the difference
and promote fitness health programs for all.
