Read below about Akash's journey
from a sports player to a Fitness Coach
Growing up, Akash was a boxer, practiced Karate and loved playing Kabaddi!
"I always loved to move, and competed at the state level in Boxing!"
But Akash was not happy with his job.
In 2018, Akash joined the CoolCoach Academy Fellowship in Kozhikode!
"I learnt lots of things: movement mastery, exercise science, team management, leadership. I also learned how to behave in a professional space and communicate with different persons."
Akash felt that working as a PE coach in school was helpful to practice these skills.
After graduation, Akash can feel the difference.
"When I compare myself to other coaches, I can feel the changes!"
He believes he has a better understanding of his capacity and is a better professional.
During the COVID-19 lockdown, Akash worked closely with his community.
"I trained a few kids from my neighborhood during the lockdown time, and made a drastic change
in their fitness."
Akash's work is recognised by his community who can see the results!
He is able to contribute to his family too
"I did a major contribution during my sister's wedding and my family was too happy with that."
He manages all his personal expenses regularly.
His clients' ages range from 13-65
"One of my clients was diagnosed with cancer. After her treatment I got a chance to train her.
Now she is participating in powerlifting competitions and state athletic championships."
Akash loves being a professional coach!
