My 21-day habit builder focuses on small, sustainable changes—like swapping soda for water and adding 10,000 steps daily—so you get fit without wrecking your digestion. When you train with me, we look at the small details, like your posture and technique, to ensure you build real, injury-free strength rather than just losing weight on a scale. My training philosophy at Xtreme Fight Federation is simple: health is real wealth. You will not find any magic pills or starvation protocols here. Instead, we focus on functional movement and discipline that you can sustain for a lifetime. Whether you are aiming for a screen fight sequence or just want to feel better in your skin, the methodology remains the same. We offer a variety of programs tailored to your commitment level. Our 'Warrior Plan' gets you started with 3 sessions per week, while our 'Spartan Plan' offers up to 6 sessions for those serious about conditioning. We don't just use standard gym equipment. Expect to train with tractor tires, battle ropes, and agility ladders on professional-grade grappling mats. I personally oversee the coaching, from Muay Thai pad work to ground-and-pound drills. I am strict about form because I want you to be a fighter, not a patient. We have facilities in Khar, Andheri, and Malabar Hill, and for personal training clients, I am happy to travel to your home. If you are ready to stop chasing quick fixes and start building real power, let's talk. ## About Shafiq Shaikh I'm Shafiq, and I’ve been running dojos in Mumbai since 2001.
