A short story about me

From Karate Belts to Beat Drops — My Journey to Coaching Champions

My fitness journey began in 8th grade with a white belt and a dream. I took up karate and soon found myself competing at international tournaments, falling in love with the discipline, power, and mindset the sport demanded. After 3 years, my passion shifted to football, where I immersed myself in cardio and strength & conditioning to level up my performance. But my path wasn’t meant to stay still for long.

That’s when I discovered hip-hop and breakdancing—and everything changed.

I trained hard, battled harder, and danced my way through college festivals, street battles, and countless stage performances. I even built my own crew and led it to victory at intercollege events. But the real magic started when I began teaching at the age of 17. Watching people light up after every class, seeing the joy, confidence, and strength they gained—it felt like my purpose had found me.

That purpose grew stronger with time. I earned my Diploma in Personal Training and Physical Education, and further specialized in Strength & Conditioning, Functional Training, and Sports Nutrition. The more I learned, the more I gave back.

How it Started?

I launched my first group coaching classes—functional training batches. Then, combining my dance background with fitness, I pioneered a unique format:
👉 Hip-Hop Cardio Fit—a first-of-its-kind in Bangalore, maybe even India.

The response was incredible. People loved the energy, the sweat, the results. From corporate events at WeWork, Cisco, Nobroker, Firstsource, to sessions across top gyms and studios like Fruze, Maxburn, Aero Fitness, Snap Fitness, Bohofit, Iconic, and many more—I watched communities come alive through movement.

I even took the mission to schools and colleges, working with kids at Bethany High, and college students at NIFT and Oxford College of Science. Movement had no age limit, and neither did my ambition.

Eventually, I fused dance, strength, mobility, and conditioning into a powerful new training model—
💥 Hybrid Fitness Sessions that bring out the best in every human body.

This isn’t just a career for me. It’s a calling.
To coach.
To inspire.
To help people become the Next Champ in their own lives.
