Actor Amitabh Bachchan, who is a well-known fitness buff, seems to be much in demand in Bollywood as a gym partner these days. Bachchan senior has just opened the doors of his wellness club and state-of-the-art gym at his Juhu office, Janak, to his close friends. The actor has been telling his friends about the importance of being earnest as far as acquiring a finely toned body is concerned.

Besides close friend Amar Singh, who gives him company at the gym in the morning when he is in town, Anil Ambani, who prefers running to weight training, looks forward to some cardio exercises and light weight training at the Bachchan gym on the weekends. The Big B's charming sense of humour and extreme dedication have made him a much-sought-after gym partner. According to sources, a lot of people who have been training with the actor, have been raving about his gym and the facilities available there. His personal trainer supervises everyone who visits the gym and chalks out a diet plan for them. Jaya Bachchan also gets her girl pals and so does bahu Aishwariya. As for son Abhishek, he is nestled in Miami, shooting for Karan Johar's Dostana and is yet to urge his friends to join him in his fat-to-fit campaign. Sonali Bendre is quite a regular at the gym and prefers working out with Jaya. Other actresses like Kiron Kher and Kajol have also expressed a desire to exercise along with the actress. We sure wish that the Big can pass off some of that dedication to his fitness regime to his son. The guy surely needs it.
