Success is counted sweetest
By those who ne'er succeed.
To comprehend a nectar
Requires sorest need.
These timeless words of Emily Dickinson
capture the essence of the struggles and victories our
members faced in their journey to achieve their fitness
goals.
Each member has his own reasons for fitness,
and it's best to let them tell their story in their
own words.
Abhijit Pradhan
An advertising honcho, Abhijit was suffering from gout
(A painful inflammation of the big toe and foot caused
by defects in uric acid metabolism). At Talwalkars,
a program was designed with his special needs in mind.
A diet to help him reduce his intake of protein and
conditioning exercises that did not overload his muscles
made him exclaim 'the gout is out'! His stamina levels
have increased tremendously and he is now able to run
at a speed of 7.5 on the treadmill for 60 minutes as
opposed to the initial 10 minutes at a much lower speed.
Raj Khalid
A national level shooter
who has won many titles in the category of civilian
rapid fire, Mr. Raj Khalid is currently undergoing
a program to enhance his precision shooting by strengthening
his forearms, wrists and shoulders, which if exercised
too much can have a negative impact. On his trip to
the Athens Olympics, he shared this training regime
with a Swedish coach (a world renowned Olympic gold
medalist), who was extremely impressed with the quality
and accuracy of his training program and recommended
that he continue with this in order to maximise his
output.
Nessie Fernandes
At the time of joining Talwalkars, my weight was
82 kg and now it is 63 kg. I feel much better after
losing 19 kg in 6 months. It makes me feel confident
and active and provides me with all the vital energy
required to cope with my daily activities. According
to me Talwalkars is the best around in Wadala as it
has not only a good panel of trainers but also the
latest exercise equipment. I think Talwalkars has
motivated me to achieve long lasting success.
Christine Swaminathan
Getting back to shape was
the only goal I had after I delivered my second child.
I enrolled at Talwalkars - Wadala where the dieticians
and trainers have worked hard to get me back into the
shape I was 12 years ago. The dieticians gave me a diet
regime to balance my food habits and the instructors
and personal trainers were always there to encourage
me during my weight training sessions. It was total
teamwork by the dieticians and instructors and Vanita
and Kamana, the managers, gave me the confidence to
achieve my dreams.
