My Journey?

So, let's begin...

Who am I ?

Shanu Shashank, IT engineer. Don’t ask me why. People start their careers in India after they become engineers.

My personal journey in fitness :

I started out as a skinny fat guy, slogging it off in the IT industry. My heart was not in it hence my mind rebelled when I came across FITTR. (earlier SQUATS).

Fitness was a part of my life , either through sports or athletics but why this ? Let that remain a mystery for a while , my dear reader but what I can tell you is that I have never had a day of regret in my life when I chose this path. Through highs and lows, the mantra was to never quit.

How did coaching at FITTR help ?

My struggles were not mine alone and that made me realize this that if I can help at least one person transform for the better, my job is done here. What I realized , one is never done and the amazing experience of touching the lives of around 800 people is testimony to that.

What makes me the so called “expert” ?

My qualifications

Institute of Nutrition & Fitness Science (INFS) Foundation + Expert Certified Coach
INFS Exercise Science Specialist Coach
Personal Trainer Collective (PTC) - Expert in Coaching Physique Athletes
PTC - Expert in Coaching Power Lifters
NESTA Certified Sports Psychology Coach

My litany of achievements

Participant in I Complete Natural (ICN ),as a Physique Athlete and Fitness model held in 2019, which is a Natural Bodybuilding and Fitness event/ show
Participant in a couple of Amateur level Powerlifting Tournaments held at district level.

Why should I care about all this when I am reading your blog ?

If you are asking this question, then clearly I have not impressed you enough but I am glad you did. We have a long way to go , you and me and all the above certifications and achievements will mean squat if I cannot help you or if the learning stops. So, let us begin this fitness journey and both learn in the process
