It is built on the exact, messy struggles I faced as an obese teenager who was told to just 'lose weight' by a coach who did not care. I do not provide generic plans because I know exactly how frustrating and isolating that feels when you are just starting out. I coach to bridge that gap between where you are and where you want to be, using the same habits that saved me. When I first walked into a cricket academy as a teenager, I was the kid who could not last 10 minutes. The coach laughed, which hurt, but it was the reality check I needed. I did not have a roadmap. I just started running, lifting, and figuring out what actually works for a body like mine. That journey from being that underconfident teen to where I am now is the foundation of how I coach today. I do not believe in magic powders or unsustainable gym grinds. I believe in small, consistent wins—fixing your sleep, managing stress, and moving daily. Whether you are a beginner or someone who has fallen off the wagon, I use these same principles to help you build a routine that actually fits your life. We focus on: * Real nutrition: Eating home-cooked meals like Roti and Dal, not just salads. * Training for your life: Whether you have a gym or just a pair of dumbbells at home. * Mindset: Breaking the 'all or nothing' cycle that makes you quit every time you miss a day. No ego, no shortcuts, just practical steps to get you moving. If you are ready to show up, I am ready to help you navigate it. ## About Rahul Prasad I'm Rahul. I used to be that chubby kid nobody picked for cricket, and now I help people find their own strength. Fitness for me is about balance—hard work in the gym, good food, and living life, not just counting calories.
