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/



I see a very good picture in the long term because bitcoin is competing with fiat and those who have used bitcoin before prefers to use bitcoin over fiat. A school in Karnataka state of India started accepting donations through bitcoins and we have seen ATMs are growing rapidly around the world. The bitcoin user base is increasing day by day and we would see such ‘bitcoin accepted here’ boards at our local merchant’s place.
