The stress due to the pandemic took a toll on her fitness journey, making her anything but the picture of health.

She lost 15kg through determination and hard work within two months. Moreover, her love for outdoor activities like trekking and hiking has made it possible for her to cover about 40 km in just 8-9 hours and aim to go on a trek to Mount Fuji.

However, training in the gym at 17 years old, he developed a love for lifting weights and did it purely because he was passionate about it. Eight years later, he competed in the Natural Bodybuilding and Fitness Association’s 2018 bodybuilding competition and won the overall title!

He takes immense pride and satisfaction in helping others with his knowledge and experience in building their physiques, getting them healthy and active, and much more.
