Persion - A gym that encourages you to perspire with a mission

Looking for a place to work out around Dasmarinas, Cavite? Get on your exercise clothes and check this quality that doesn't just help you shed off the extra calories, it also helps you on a mission to help the church as well. As for how they call it, perspire with a mission!


The gym inside the church of God allows even non-church members to use the facilities of the gym. Since they encourage people to have a healthy lifestyle and help build the church through their small membership fee for the maintenance of the gym.

Since the church also aims to provide quality facilities to everyone, a membership fee is required but the amount is actually lesser than the ones you often see nearby. They also offer promos every now and then for new members so that they could enjoy the perks of their facilities.

Here's the waiting/receiving area for Persion. This is also where they placed their steam room. This area is open even for children and non-members. This gym can hold numerous people at the same time as they have the types of equipment and the steam room in a different area making it more comfortable for everybody.

Steam Room

Moving on to another facility is the steam room that also doubles as the locker room. Steam room is known as Sauna in some other countries and it is known for helping increase the circulation in the body, release toxins and stress, reduce the risk of having cardiovascular disease and weight loss. There are only a few quality sauna in the Philippines and I am surprised to actually find one here in Persion.

They made sure that each of their facility is high quality and even the smallest details are all well-maintained. They even have slippers that you can use inside the steam room. I also love the lighting and ambiance inside the steam room.

Here's how the bath looks like. They have numerous shower areas so you can simultaneously use the shower areas before going to the steam room.

Gym Area

For their equipment, they have the most common ones for simple exercises. You have the option to have a gym coach which can be the rate per session or monthly. Of course, monthly rates are cheaper than per session. But then, if you just want simple exercises, you can skip having trainers.

For a more complex one, you can find other bodybuilding equipment in the gym. Another thing that I love about this place is that the view all over Dasma can be seen while you work out. 

Play room

If you are bringing your kids with you, there's a place where they can enjoy! Just in front of Persion is the playroom that allows kids and even kids at heart to enjoy their free time for FREE. Yes, there's no door charge and this area is also open for outsiders. This way, if you plan to work out on the gym, kids are safe inside the playroom and it's a sure thing that they are having fun absolutely!

They have Xbox and consoles that are mostly played by the techy kids today. While their parents are working out inside the gym, they know that their kids are safe inside the playroom and at the same time, they can socialize with other kids. The aim of the church is to cater to children, adults, and teenagers in a single place so they can stay away from peers.

Guess what? They even have billiards here! The only deal here is that bets are not allowed at the playroom! They promote the usage of the playroom solely for entertainment purposes only.

Going a little more active, you can play table tennis. They have two tables at the playroom so there's nothing to worry about if you come a little late than their opening hours. Additionally, I am also surprised to find out that they have chess tables that anyone can use!

Aside from the gym, we also tried their own coffee shop: iCafe which serves affordable quality coffee and drinks
