Co-Founder, DiFit


DiFit Lifestyle provides a holistic personal training programme that helps one stay motivated in order to achieve their fitness goals in the shortest time possible. Our trainers accompany you to enhance your workouts whether your goals are to lose weight, gain muscles or transform your body completely.

Tell us about DiFit Lifestyle’s philosophy. How is it different from other fitness centres?


DiFit Lifestyle is a sports and fitness training company, with a strong focus on providing practical lifestyle enhancement to its members through various fitness events and physical training activities

Our team consists of highly qualified fitness professionals who work together to achieve the client’s fitness goals with a uniquely holistic training approach.

A person’s goal to become fit and healthy often fails due to their habits or lack of motivation. DiFit Lifestyle provides a holistic personal training programme that helps one stay motivated in order to achieve their fitness goals in the shortest time possible. Our trainers accompany you to enhance your workouts whether your goals are to lose weight, gain muscles or transform your body completely.

What are the specialised training programmes offered?

We have five specialised programmes undertaken by our expert trainers:

- One-on-one Personal Training

- Couple/Buddy Training

- Online Training

- Corporate Training

- Diet and Nutrition Programmes

Outside the training programmes what other packages/classes does DiFit offer?

The day you connect with us, you will witness that fitness has always been our sole priority, and, therefore, we have always believed in promoting a healthy lifestyle. To pursue the same, we have launched this phenomenal Holistic Training Program for all our valuable clients. Under this programme, you will unearth numerous advantages while working on your body towards your goal. You will also learn from some of the best trainers from different fields. For instance,   you can experience yoga one day, and then a boxing session the next.

How do you ensure that the quality of the training stays the same during online classes?

Before we start the training programme, we conduct the online fitness assessment, which will help us to understand the client’s current fitness level, goals and medical history background. From there, our team will create the custom training and nutrition programme and will be assigned to the client profile in the DiFit Lifestyle app where clients will be able to see their scheduled training programmes including video demonstrations as well as their workout, repetition, intensity, time and duration. Moreover, our coaches will conduct a reassessment every three to four weeks, which will help us to understand the client progress towards their goals.

There are also classes specifically for children — what did the team keep in mind when designing these?

Our kids’ fitness classes, specially arranged for eight to 15-year-olds, are in favour of just keeping kids active. The aim is to boost self-confidence, trigger teamwork and allow them to socialise with other kids. This really helps children develop a positive attitude towards health and on top of that also develop leadership skills, poise, memory, creativity, and coordination. Every class is taught in an environment solely designed for a specific activity. Your children will certainly enjoy the kids’ fitness programmes and thereby without them being aware, fitness and flexibility will be developed.

The kids training programmes’ primary target is to motivate and enhance them towards a better and healthier lifestyle and to avoid the early onset of obesity. Studies indicate that kids can carry themselves and focus better when they get enough exercise. In light of the fact that physical activity improves blood flow to the brain, it helps to lift their mindset too. We encourage parents to make a plan for kids and bring them up in a healthy lifestyle. Bring them to us, we will craft them an extraordinary lifestyle and instil a key habit of fitness.
