It is not for show. It is a reminder that if you are not hurting, you are not changing. This is how I stay accountable to myself and my students, and it is the same level of commitment I expect from anyone who joins my training program. Building strength is not a linear path. There are days in the gym at Shivalik Nagar when I feel drained, and the motivation just isn't there. My mantra, 'dukh vi apne, sukh vi apne' (sorrows and joys are ours), keeps me going. It reminds me that the pain of a heavy squat set and the joy of a new PR both belong to me. My students often struggle with this mental block. They want to quit when the weight gets heavy or life gets complicated. I teach them that powerlifting is a practice of mental toughness as much as physical output. Whether we are working on a 1-on-1 competition prep cycle or small group training, I push them to look past the immediate discomfort and stay focused on the form. I am not just training bodies; I am building athletes who respect the process. My Guru ji, Ashish Bhandari, taught me that a 'shishya' (student) must hold their head high but stay grounded. This bond is what I bring to the Vis Orbit family. We are not just lifting iron; we are growing as a team. If you are looking for a coach who will spot you through the failures and celebrate the wins with you, you are in the right place. ## About Pooja Sharma I am a national-level powerlifter and the founder of the Vis Orbit gym family here in Haridwar.
