Adajan is the west-bank floor, three storeys up above Way Wait Restaurant, and it serves a different half of the city than Katargam does. Most people here come from Adajan Gam, Pal, Rander and Jahangirpura, and for them crossing the river to train was never realistic.
It opens at six rather than five, which suits the people who actually use it: office workers and business owners who train before the day starts rather than before a shift does. The eight o'clock hour is the busiest on this floor.
The floor was fitted out for machine work: a row of Impulse pin-loaded stations down a full-height mirrored wall, free weights and benches beyond them, and a cardio bank at the far end. It is air-conditioned, which between March and June in Surat is the difference between training and not training.
The room is mixed — people who have lifted for years next to people whose first session was last week. If you have never trained before, you will be shown how each lift works rather than left with a printed sheet. That is the whole reason the gym is small enough for one coach to know who you are.
The room as it is, photographed in July 2026.
Everything listed here is visible in the photographs on this page, so you can check it rather than take our word for it. The machines are Impulse.

The landmark is Above Way Wait Restaurant, near Vivekanand Bridge. It is a practical walk or short ride from Adajan Gam, Choksi Wadi, Pal, Rander and Jahangirpura.
Road distances from a named landmark in each area, from OpenStreetMap routing. No travel times, because they depend on the hour; each link opens the live route in Google Maps.
These are Adajan's own rates. The one-month price is the same at both branches; from three months on they differ, so the figures below are not the same as the ones on the Katargam page.
| Term | Price | Per month |
|---|---|---|
| One month | ₹1,700 | — |
| Three months | ₹3,000 | ₹1,000 |
| Six months | ₹5,000 | ₹833 |
| Twelve months | ₹9,000 | ₹750 |
| Couple, twelve months | ₹16,000 | ₹1,333 |
Personal training is charged on top of a membership rather than instead of one, and starts at ₹7,000 a month with one of the trainers here, or ₹10,000 with Brijesh Joshi himself. A guest day pass is ₹300. The whole card, including the couple rate and online coaching, is on the fees page.
Same coach, same method, same programmes. Four things genuinely differ, and none of them is the quality of the coaching.
| What differs | Adajan | Katargam |
|---|---|---|
| Opens | 06:00 | 05:00 |
| Twelve months | ₹9,000 | ₹10,000 |
| Floor last photographed | July 2026 | March 2019 |

This is the cheaper floor over a year. Twelve months here is ₹9,000 against ₹10,000 at Katargam, and the couple rate is ₹16,000 against ₹18,000. Across a year the gap is ₹1,000 — worth knowing, not worth a longer journey.
The floor here has been photographed recently. July 2026, against March 2019 at Katargam, so what you read on this page about the equipment is close to what you will walk into. That matters more than it sounds if you are choosing between two rooms you have not seen.
The 6:00 am opening is the reason to choose Katargam instead. If your training happens before work rather than after it, that branch opens at 5:00 am and this one does not, and one hour at the right end of the day beats every other difference on this page.
Fewer reviews, not less history. 28 Google reviews against 91 at Katargam. Both branches are run by the same coach to the same method; the counts reflect the age and size of the two listings.
Whatever the table says, take the nearer one. Over three months distance decides attendance more reliably than any row above it, and attendance decides your result.
The coaching at Adajan is the same coaching as at Katargam, and every one of these is trained at both floors. What changes is what has to be explained first, so there is a page for each of the reasons people actually walk in with.
