Arnima

I always wanted to be a businesswoman, just like my dad. School days were rough, I was bullied and tried too hard to fit in. Fitness became my escape, but I messed up—starving, overtraining, just plain lost. Hired a trainer in Bangalore, he didn’t even care about my goals, just pointed at my body. That’s when I knew, I had to do better. BASE is my answer—a judgment-free gym, mostly for women, where feeling strong matters more than numbers. Dad always says, 'यार हर मंथ सेम नहीं होता, ऊपर नीचे चलते रहता है बिजनेस में' (business has ups and downs), and that keeps me going.
