You started off at a time when there weren’t as many women trainers. Your piece of advice for girls & women in the lookout for a fitness coach to achieve weight loss & optimum fitness in the right term.

Urmi Kothari

Being a fitness coach I WAY WAY WAY beyond just losing weight. So let’s not mix the two. Becoming a fitness coach not just requires you to work on your fitness, but also requires you to have the drive to empower other people… be part of their fitness journey. Have patience, have the willingness to understand and motivate them but also be strict and their true friend. 
And honestly, there is nothing like being a woman or a man in the fitness industry. Yes, it happens to be more commonly pursued by men. BUT the difference lies in YOUR Mind. I honestly feel the reason I didn’t face major sexist differences (at least to my face) is that I never saw myself as ONE woman among MANY men. For me, it has always been about being MY best self in any room that I went in. I never differentiate between genders…be it a student or a fellow coach. 
Remember, If you don’t have it in your head, it will show in your actions and your actions will speak and influence the way other people perceive you.
