John Abraham loves staying fit. And he works very hard to ensure that his body remains in shape and healthy. The actor, who lives in suburban Mumbai, is often spotted at Gold’s Gym in Bandra, working out and building those muscles.But what has got everyone ooh-ing and aah-ing over the actor is not his six-pack abs, but his uber-friendly demeanour at the gym.
“He comes in and smiles and greets all the trainers at the gym. Even the members who work out there will get a 'Hi' from him,” says an onlooker, “He has no attitude whatsoever, and is so approachable,” a source said.
In fact, onlookers tells us that John often patiently waits his turn for the treadmill or weights and doesn’t expect any special treatment. “If someone is using the weights that he may want, then he will patiently wait till they are done, after which he actually asks them if they are done and if he can take them. Sometimes, he actually shows them if they are going wrong in their exercise or posture… He totally behaves like one of us,” our source continues to gush.
This particular branch of the gym is extremely popular with celebs. Bipasha Basu and Saif Ali Khan used it for a while for their workout dates, when things were a bit off between John Abraham and Bips. Bipasha is still spotted with her personal trainer, but unlike her beau, she keeps to herself. Also seen regularly at the gym are Neha Dhupia, Soha Ali Khan and Salman Khan.
Often, John gets stopped on his way out of the gym for photographs. And the actor is always ready to oblige. “He would have done a full-on strenuous workout and want to get home, but as soon as he steps out, someone will ask him if they can have a picture with him. And in all these years, I have never seen him say no to anyone. He is one of the most popular guys in the gym,” says a member.
