Nilson Garrido, the former professional boxer from Brazil, established this gym practically out of nothing under the Alcantara Machado viaduct in Sao Paulo. All the equipment was bought through donations. The man’s intention was to get young people out of drugs and crimes through sports. Today more than a hundred people, most of whom have financial troubles, come here free of charge for the daily workout.
