Matopeni (aka "Mad") gym is a hardcore local club in Kenya, located four kilometres from Eldoret town at Mailo Inne estates. Unlike most of other local gyms in the Afican continent where the training equipments are made with used iron, mainly from vehicles broken spare parts, all the weights used at Matopeni gym were locally made using only sand, stones, soil and iron bars.
