Fitness is more than just a physical parameter of health. Whether you choose fitness as simply a hobby that pushes you to be your best, or as a career built out of love and passion, fitness can have life-altering impacts.

Let’s read about one of our clients, Deepa who fell in love with marathon running and is now the fittest she has ever been. Fitness has transferred her physique, lifestyle, and career. Deepa’s transformation spectacularly highlights both the physical and holistic changes that come with the decision to take charge of your health.

An animal-lover and marathon enthusiast, Deepa is someone who truly enjoys staying active and consistently working on honing her talent through hard work and dedication. Her initial goal was to lose weight and simply get into shape, but during that process, she fell in love with running and decided to build a career out of fitness.

Improving her overall stamina, endurance and run timings were obviously the biggest priority for Deepa and that was the focus of our diet and training regimen. Deepa’s incredible dedication to her goals and admirable consistency in following her plan has made it possible for her to not only lose over 12 kgs but also excel in marathon running.

We needed to make sure Deepa had plenty of energy for the extensive cardio she performed via running. At the same time, it was important to balance her macros for a healthy weight loss and eventually maintain a stable weight and overall lean physique.

Deepa’s daily nutrition routine comprised several small meals at regular intervals throughout the day. We included a great amount of protein from both supplementations and natural sources to make sure Deepa had adequate energy for all the exercise she was getting. Apart from that, we had separate dietary protocols in place before her marathon days to aid performance and improve energy levels.

Diligently following his nutrition plan gave Deepa some amazing results and shows exactly what an important role nutrition plays in a person’s overall fitness levels.

For Deepa’s marathon training, we had specialized running protocols to prepare her for marathon days. We closely monitored her timings and progress to make sure we could implement any necessary changes if required.

Outside of running, we put equal focus on strength training in the gym to improve Deepa’s endurance, strength, and flexibility. We included versatile workouts to make training easier and enjoyable.

Deepa is now a certified personal trainer from the American Council of Exercise. She is an official coach for ASICS, a leading sports footwear and apparel brand. Based out of Bangalore, Deepa continues taking part in marathons and training hard at the gym to stay in the best shape she can.

Running is an integral part of her life, and so is motivating others to fall in love with this beautiful sport. With a strong social media following, Deepa inspires thousands by sharing her journey as a coach and an athlete.

She has been associated with several fitness brands and organizations while creating independent content to educate her followers.

Let’s see what Deepa had to say about her experience-

“I’ve got to say that training with Optimum Wellness has probably been one of the best decisions I could have taken for my fitness. My goal wasn’t just to lose weight or look a certain way, I wanted to make fitness a part of my entire lifestyle and needed a coach who could help me fall in love with fitness.

I wanted to elevate both my fitness levels and physique. I needed a team who could show me the best path to achieving my goals. I am very happy to say my coaches Alan Baptist, and Neera Katwal are the absolute best coaches anyone could ever ask for.

Neera Katwal is obviously a huge inspiration to someone passionate about marathon running like me. She pushed me to be the best I can be and always leads by example. Coach Alan has supported me from day one and made it incredibly easy for me to stick to a proper diet.

One of the biggest things I admire about the Optimum Wellness team is the constant support and personal attention I have received from them. No matter what questions I have, I know I can always count on my coaches for a scientific solution.

Apart from that,I just want to say that I am now faster, stronger and more resilient than I’ve ever been physically and that in turn has made me a more confident and happy person. I’ve achieved my fitness goals but I’m constantly working on improving and achieving more milestones.”
