Big and athletic
Can't be both as a natural.

Either big and bulky or

Slim and athletic.

A crossfit style gym is probably better than both the above.

Should have a diverse group of specimens training for sports, thus more focussed on actual training.

I've been around the gym circuit for 30years.

Been to all types and to honest, gyms as a whole are full of idiots...........I hate the place

Please make sure you leave your mobile in the locker regardless of what gym you frequent........thank you.

A 24hr chain ie simply gym is probably more befitting.

Please however, leave your mobile in the locker as I don't want to see another douchebag taking a selfie.........thank you

Why don't you do training at home?

Calisthenics..............and yes, one can build muscle with bodyweight.

Progressive overload is key.

Volume(and frequency) needs to be high when natural.

Bodyweight is perfect for that.

Don't take this the wrong way(you should by now know I am only on here for a grin), but Indians as a whole are not prone to building impressive physiques, thus you have to be realistic on how "cut" you can be(and maintain).

I can guarantee you weren't optimally home training.

I did calisthenics for about 6months this year and put muscle on.......and I'm 6ft 3 and 44.

we are built like long distance runners , like the Ethiopians and Somalians
All the more reason to do bodyweight.

Can do weighted chins/press ups/dips.

Small boned thus heavy weights(relative) will in the long term, damage.
