With this sow, we become the first Indian FM radio station to launch a dedicated show on fitness, hosted by fitness & nutrition experts for the fitness community. With over 70 percent of the young, urban Bengalureans of the age group 18-35 indulging in fitness activities, launching a programme that curates the music and helps people who like to walk, runners, cyclists and functional trainers, to set and achieve milestones in their fitness goals forms our core offering". 

Shwetambari Shetty, the co-host for The Fitness Hour, said, “Years of IT has made lives sedentary and the pub culture has made big bellies, all this leading to many health issues. But now, Bangalore is slowly embracing fitness and we are on the path of making fitness a lifestyle and a trend. We are heading to become the fitness capital of the country. The Fitness Hour is a fabulous initiative by Indigo 91.9 FM. They are committed to making Bangalore fit; and then music and fitness go hand in hand, so there is no better place than Indigo 91.9 to experience both at their best”.

Commenting on the launch of Indigo’s Fitness Hour, Ryan said, “Everyone is in a dieting race these days, which is why a show like this will help listeners understand the role of a good balanced diet. The best part is that they need not go looking anywhere. It will all be available on air; all they need to do is switch on the radio, tune into Indigo 91.9 and begin their fitness regime.
