I have always been involved with sports and fitness activities like Cricket, Ice skating & Skiing at various stages of my life.

My CrossFit journey however, began in 2016 while recovering from an ankle injury which took place during a cricket match.

Prior to that I always thought I needed to be fit to start CrossFit and I was very wrong about it. Once I started CrossFit I was so hooked onto it and started learning a lot about myself, both mental and physical states, which then changed the way I tackle things in my daily life.

I started to believe in working hard, trusting the process and listening to your body to achieve your set goals.

CrossFit and coaching is my passion and a way that I give something back to the community which helps everyone commit towards themselves and their well being.
