22 KEVIN GRECH BERTU'S Gym is celebrating 34 years since its opening on 10 Oc- tober, 1982. Bertu's Gym was opened by former boxing champion Bertu Camilleri at first as a small gym to train local boxers and it was one of the first gym's on the is- land at the time. As time progressed Bertu saw the need to expand and he invest- ed in more weights and equip- ment. The gym suddenly became Malta's top gym for the beginner and experienced bodybuilder as the results started to show with most of Malta's top athletes com- ing from Bertu's Gym. As boxing remained Bertu's number one priority, he makes it a point to start training boxers at a very young age. Bertu's hands on experience in the sport of boxing are the key to producing some great boxers. The gym has become the home of various Maltese athletes excel- ling in boxing and bodybuilding who have also been ambassadors of Malta in international compe- titions achieving great results. Walking up the stairs to the gym, you will always find Bertu waiting to greet you with a smile. Bertu's gym is not a place where you do your exercise and just leave, but it also has a family ori- ented atmosphere. Since Monday, Bertu's Gym opened its doors for free to non- members. Today is the last day to take advantage of this offer. Anyone is welcome to come and visit both the main gym and women's gym, try out equipment and familiarise oneself with the premises and staff. During these open days the premises shall be open from 7am - 9pm. More information about Bertu's Gym can be found on their offi- cial Facebook page or you can call on Tel: 2141 3406. Bertu Camilleri Bertu Camilleri started his ca- reer in a Gym in Hamrun. Soon after, he caught the eye of the late Iron Man of Europe, Charles Saliba who trained him in the Youth Gym Sliema. At that time Bertu established a record of three hours nonstop skipping the rope (Two years later, he broke the already es- tablished record by another two hours, accomplishing a total of five hours of nonstop skipping.). Two veterans, the late Francis Attard of Mosta and Paul Cas- sar of Msida took charge of his training at the Mosta Boxing Club. Later on Bertu decided to immigrate to the United King- dom. In England, Bertu acquired the experience of British box- ers and trainers. He went to the well known Jack Solomons Gym where he used to fight 3 times a week against British Boxers. When Bertu returned to the is- land in 1969 he showed his am- bition when he opened a Gym at Gharghur. About the gym Bertu's gym is divided into three levels.
