Fitness is my passion fitness is my profession.
Fitness is my passion.
I like working out because I come from an athletic back ground. I have never been fat or over weight in my life because of I have been lifting, jumping, running, playing through out my life.
Why so... ?
This journey started about 10 years back while I was doing a desk job. Yes!! desk job sitting front of computer for eight consecutive hours plus two hours of travelling in DTC bus, Finding time for exercise was very hard wit this job so I started jogging at night 2-3 times a week at 9:00pm. My second job was in the area of event mismanagement which was even worse than the previous one. I think I used to work 18 hours a day, sometimes out of station too.
But with my current job I was able to continue my gym and manage to exercise almost every day - Thanks to Gurji Mr Baleshwar of THE GYM - Chatterpur. He gave me a duplicate key to his gym and I used to workout there late at night around 10:30/ 11:00 pm, mostly in a candle light (because of frequent power cut). My goal was to maintain low body fat percentage and also keep my weight stable for years.
In these years I had many injures. First one was in 1997, when I was in school and broke my left elbow. After that injury I was't able to participate in my game. I was not an athlete anymore.
Second one was in 2005 when I had motorbike accident and broke my right hand and left ankle. I could not walk properly for nearly one year, running was just a dream.
Third one was in 2009 when due to a stupid accident I broke my right shoulder at an altitude of 13000 feet in Rohtang pass.
Three major injuries made fitness my passion.
With this broken elbow I can do something like 140kg bench press or numerous hand stand push ups.
Broken ankle doesn't hurt anymore even after a 10K run or countless box jumps, After three years of shoulder injury I can clean 100kg, jerk 90kg and snatch 80kg. My doctors are surprised. I have become a part of their case studies.
Fitness is my profession
I started my first job as fitness trainer in year 2004, but never took it serious for the next four-five years. I use to do i because desk job and managing event was very boring for me. I worked in few gyms but i was more interested in the theater, acting and modeling.
Modeling in this city sucks big time and I got bored wit theater in few years.
At one time, I used to work as a fitness trainer full time but never took it serious even after I became a certified trainer.I used to train and help people achieve their goals.
As a personal trainer I used to train only those people who came to me with specific objectives. Mostly I used to guide and train special populations.
I discovered CrossFit in 2009, after that I have never looked back. My life is so much fun with CrossFit and now I'm an Athlete again.
CrossFit
In 2009 I discovered CrossFit.
In 2010 I went to South Africa (Johannesburg) fro L1.
In 2010 started CrossFit affiliation - CrossFit Himalaya.
In 2011 had first CrossFit games in CrossFit Himalaya - sponsored by Reebok.
In 2011 went to Sinapore for internship under Coach Kevin ( CrossFit Singapore).
In 2011 got associated with Reebok CrossFit Project in India.
In 2012 stared Reebok CrossFit Gurgoan.
Now people of NCR started speaking CrossFit language.
They know Fran, Nancy, Cindy and Barbara are bad girls.
They know what midline stabilization is.
They know the importance of old school functional training.
They know WHAT IS FITNESS..... !
Last three years are best of my life so far.
I got my careers and I know what I'm going to do with the rest of my life. I'm fitness pro because I'm committed to give real fitness to my country. I respect my people's effort.
I love the moment when CrossFit guests visit my box and enjoy every moment with us.
When I did my L1 I never thought CrossFit will grow this fast in India.
I run a small CrossFit box (CrossFit Himalaya) where few minded people get together everyday and train for good cause. I also run one of the Asia's biggest CrossFit box "Reebok CrossFit Gurgaon" where 200+ people get trained to make their life more functional. We have successfully hosted CrossFit trainer's level 1 course twice. We have a strong team of CrossFit trainers.
Naveen and Adhish are taking good care of CrossFit Himalaya.Vijay Raj (CrossFit games Asian regional competitor 2012) Rajeev (god medalist national games, shot put) and Kamal are working on Forging Elite Fitness with me at Reebok CrossFit Gurgoan. I proudly say ME and MY TEAM are the FIRST GENERATION OF CROSSFIT IN INDIA.
Yes we have come this far in just 3 years and I believe in coming years we will see fitness level of India grow leaps and bound. I really don't know how far we will go but YES we have a A LONG WAY TO GO....
