How it all began

We started competitive gymnastics since the age of 9(Pawan) and 11(Manu). We used to travel an hour and a half to reach the training centre. Every day after school our mom would pick us up and catch a train to the city, we then have a quick snack and change into our gym clothes on the train. From the city station we then would catch a bus for ½ hour to the training centre. This was our routine for the next 4 years. Rain, heat, delayed trains; nothing would dampen our spirit and enthusiasm. Initially our trainers told us you are tall and skinny you should go and do basketball or badminton but our will power and love for gymnastics combined with a strong support from our parents showed everyone that if you want to make a difference nothing can stop you. We started winning several competitions, medals in regional, state and national levels, by then there was no training centre left in the city which was advance enough to train us any further; so we started travelling to different states for a period of few weeks to learn new skills and come back and master them. It started becoming quite difficult for our parents to do the travelling around the country and frustrating cause that was not really the efficient way of training.

Enough was enough, my father a builder by trade used his own money to build one of the most advanced gymnastics centre in the country right next to our house in my town. We trained in our own gym with countries top level coaches for few years and not only won national awards but also represented our country in an international arena. After competing and winning several medals in the international level we decided to use our own facilities to coach other kids in town. We used our knowledge of sports and fitness to create champions not only physically but also mentally. Today our students are one of the nation’s top gymnasts in their own age group.

Just because we are not competing today doesn’t mean we are not fit. We continued our fitness regime and maintained our health. Also helping several others including friends and family maintain their health has become a second nature to us. Along with sports we also excelled academically. Pawan is Computer Engineer with a post graduate degree in Information Systems and Manu has a bachelor degree in Information Technology and a qualified Commercial Pilot, we both also have tons other certificates in various other industries. We both spend most of our lives training hard to get the solid fit bodies and mind we got today which we are happy of but we also have discovered other ways that a person could actually have fit bodies without going through a life time of hard training. There are programs which if followed consistently; one can achieve their goals in months. We will recommend you a selected range of programs for you to work on over your fitness journey on our website.

Once you have achieved your target fitness we will also help you maintain that fitness even if you get so busy in life that you won’t have time to spare few minutes to work on yourselves. They say ‘it’s never too late to start getting fit’ so don’t delays stand up and take some action.

Remember along with your physical fitness it’s very important that your emotional and spiritual fitness needs to be clear. Great friends, meditation, appreciation of life around you, positive thoughts, relaxation, are just few of the traits required to be introduced in life to assist in your fitness journey.
