Gymnasium: We want to recreate the atmosphere of gymnasium in its original, Ancient Greek meaning, as a facility for training and competitions in public games, as well a place for socializing and engaging in intellectual pursuits. The term originates from the word [gymnós] meaning “naked”, because historically one exercised naked, and we would like to revive this aspect too, as we think that by doing athletic and fun activities naked, participants will experience bonding aspect of such events stronger and will only feel more comfortable and confident in their own skin.
