I do work with IT professionals, businessmen and others to help them get fit by shedding extra pounds in healthy way. Work with clients closely to monitor the health progress and guide accordingly. Expert in general health, nutrition, supplementation and diets. My goal is to help millions to get fit and live healthier lifestyle. I started my fitness journey from November 2017. I was over weight by 18 kgs. I tried my options but I couldn't figure out how to shed those extra pounds. Finally, I figured out the body science behind the fat burning. I achieved my fitness goal (12% body fat | running @ 1km/4.5 min | ideal BMI) using this science. Now, my mission is to help 100,000+ people get fit and lead a healthy lifestyle. I need your support in this mission. Together we can achieve anything.
