Russian-based sports gym chain NanoFitness has announced it will begin accepting Bitcoin as payment for membership and related services.
This actually happened a few days ago and they announced it on their VK page : https://vk.com/wall-117861517_674 and you can also read an article about it from Bitcoinist : http://bitcoinist.com/russia-gym-accepting-bitcoin/

That's a good news. I have never thought Bitcoin was banned in Russia because I know many people from there using it. Although NanoFitness is not a very famous gym it is still nice of them to accept Bitcoin. We definitely need more news like this around the world.

There was a polemic about the bitcoin prohibition some time ago, but it was solved. Now that is very good news. Gyms accepting bitcoin will introduce a new public to crypto currencies, the bodybuilders and all the people going to gym.
It is useful like a marketing for bitcoins, we should thanks russians for this, they gave the first step on this.
