A holistic approach to health: How Gyms can be converted into spaces that take care of the mind along with the body.

Gyms are spaces where people go to strengthen their body, improve their health and relax their minds.
But is physical exercise enough to lead a healthy life? WHO defines Health as' "a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity." Apart from physical health, it is also essential to take care of one's spiritual, mental and social health.

Stress has become a part of today's competitive, corporate work life and plays a crucial role in our personal and professional relationships. People lack time to take care of their minds and to mentally workout and eliminate stress actively. This problem can easily be tackled if gyms and spas become centers for holistic health improvement, instead of the current, unidirectional approach that focuses only on muscle training instead of training the mind too.
Gyms with Libraries: A Unique Approach

Books are a person's best friend. They educate and at the same time teleport the mind into a different world. Here is why adding books to a Gym works:
Stress Reduction
Reading has the highest efficiency in stress reduction. A reading habit reduces stress by 68%. There is no better method to improve brain efficiency than eliminating stress. Stress clouds judgement, and prevents the person from adopting a tactical, rational approach to solve their problems.
Theory of Mind (TOM) is Improved
Theory of Mind is the ability of a person to empathize and understand others. Most professional and personal relationships fail due to lack of communication and misunderstanding the opinions of the other person. Reading books especially fiction improves the theory of Mind, thereby improving emotional intelligence.
Better Problem Solving Skills
Apart from improved emotional intelligence and resolving stress, readers are also equipped with better problem solving skills. Non-fiction books helps readers improve in business, knowledge, spirituality, etc. Puzzle and crossword books help people exercise their brain and improve its efficiency.
Better Physical Training
Books on spirituality, nutrition, meditation, martial arts, dance and other physical forms of exercise help people understand the science and theory behind their actions. They feel more assured and motivated to continue with the efforts to improve health once they understand the concepts behind it. They also learn about various healthy foods, the history of the kind of workout they're into and much more. It motivates them to hustle harder.
Competitive Edge
While other gyms are still leading on with the traditional system, your unconventional, holistic approach towards health will provide you with a competitive edge over the others.
