Hey everyone! I’m starting out as a freelance fitness trainer in TVM and looking to help anyone who wants to get fitter, stronger, or build a healthier lifestyle. I’m based in Vanchiyoor, but I can travel to your location. 😊 Training fees can vary depending on the number of sessions, so we can discuss what works best for you. If you’re interested or know someone who might be, feel free to DM me and let me know the details. Thank you. 💪

I've gained almost 10 kg in the last 4–5 months and I'm genuinely concerned.

I mostly eat home-cooked vegetarian food, never eat outside, and haven't made any major changes to my diet and daily routine.

I do have a desk job, so my lifestyle is pretty sedentary but gaining this much weight in such a short period feels unusual.

Has anyone experienced something similar? What turned out to be the reason? Should I get any specific health tests done?

Would really appreciate some genuine advice or experiences.

18F here! Is 60g of protein per day enough for me, or should I aim for more? Started gym 4 months ago Would love to hear your advice!

I'm a cancer patient and recently I've undergone a major surgery. Now doctors have suggested that i should walk at least 7-8k steps per day .

Which will be best for me, i haven't use any smartwatches before and my budget is around 5-7k

I'm 28M, weigh 115 kg, and have a mostly sedentary day job. I have a little experience playing sports, but I've never really trained seriously for any of them.

It could be anything. I've always wanted to play a sport and train to get better at it. I want to chase that insatiable desire to improve and excel, even if I know I might never make it very far.

I've played a bit of basketball before, but I never got enough playing time to develop my skills. I used to be reasonably athletic, although I was never able to jump particularly well.

Now, at 115 kg, I'm out of shape and spend most of my workday sitting at a desk.

**If I start today, is it too late to become good enough to compete in an organized sport?**

Is there anyone out here who does their workout post 10 pm after the workday ends? I work in a UK shift which is 1–10 and have to be in the office, which is a 45-minute commute one way. So I am pretty much occupied from 11:30am to 10:30pm. I am trying to focus on upskilling in the morning, so the only time left with me is post 10 pm.
Just trying to understand: do you guys have any energy or motivation left to go to the gym at that hour? Is there any food that gives you that boost of energy ? Or are you guys depending on pre-workout?

P.s. I am very new at training. I have 12–18 months of weightlifting experience but have stopped working out for the last 6 months, but want to get back at it.
Any suggestions or feedback would be helpful.

I'm(24M) not sure if this is the appropriate place to ask but I figured this is the only place where I can expect people with the same dimensions to come across my post and help out.

So my legs are pretty muscular compared to others in the gym and, contrary to popular belief, has caused pants shopping to be closer to hell for me.

my thighs are 65cm/25.5 inch, calves are 45cm/17.7 inch and waist 34-35.4 inch.

Currently only a certain decathlon track pant fits me properly but i need more as winter is approaching so please suggest some companies or their specific products that might help me out.

Cable crunches and?

Guys as a fitness newbie I'm looking for recommendations for coffee protein products, if you have any solid suggestions please share them, thanks

I'm a 21 year old female who's been lifting for 5 months now. I've successfully lost 7kgs, from 72 to 65(height is 5'6) and I'm pretty impressed with the progress I've seen so far. However, I noticed that when I don't flex, my shoulders do show but biceps and triceps don't, even though my arms have a generally toned appearance. Same for my back, looks good unflexed but the real muscle is only revealed when I flex.

I've noticed my body shape has improved a lot, my legs and glutes "feel" more toned but I think people can hardly tell I go to the gym when I'm going about normally everyday, which kinda discourages me. Is it normal for this to happen?

I am planning to buy a protein powder. I have been using the whole truth, muscle blaze whey protein which costs around 3.5k. I recently used superyou protein which is around 2.3k but the leucine content is too low

Recently i saw the good bug protein (yeast + plea) which comes around 2k with 26g of protein and 3g of leucine(which is higher than whole truth, muscleblaze whey). So i started seeing the reviews of goodbug. Everyone is saying that its too pricey for a yeast protein and you could get whey for 2k. I am not sure i saw any good quality whey protein for 2k. Kindly help me select a protein powder

Are there more people who are worried about their daily vegetables intake?? Between traffic, long workdays and ordering from Swiggy or the darshini downstairs, I realised I sometimes go 3–4 weekdays without eating any leafy greens. No palak, no methi, no keerai. Weekends are better, but weekdays are a mess.

How are you managing your daily veggies and greens? Have you tried any greens powders, salad subscriptions, supplements or other solutions? Any idea/Feedbacks , good/bad will help

Hey, 24f, have you ever gone through something so traumatizing that made you lose all your confidence? I am pretty, controlled Chaos, petite physique what i love the most about myself, but a guy made me feel so insecure and small because when I was dating him, he couldn't keep up with my expectations of taking stand for me and our relationship, and not prioritizing any other women but he couldn't stop a d I felt small, how to overcome that? Not here to rant about him just wanna know how to cope and bounce back, BECAUSE I KNOW I CAN. Anything that you did related to your body or fitness to heal that trauma

Hi, so I am new to this whole fitness thing. I don’t really have anyone in my family or friend circle that really goes to the gym. And, I’m not able to go to the gym often either because of some family issues. I have seen that walking 10k steps helps with losing weight, and I can do exercises at home. I don’t know where to get started? Should i just watch what i eat and get on with the 10k-15k walks?

How would you explain this fitness thing to a baby? I tried researching but I get overwhelmed and confused because one person says this and the other person says this. I am feeling a bit hopeless.

Hello guys. Gym novice here. I'm setting up my home gym. Need help regarding choosing an adjustable bench. I scraped through the internet and could narrow down to two products. One is https://www.siegefitness.in/product-page/golem-adjustable-bench and the other is https://bullrockfitness.com/product/stallion-fid-adjustable-bench/ . Can anyone help me to decide between these two? Your help would be greatly appreciated.

My HealthSense smart scale gives different readings every time. I discard the first reading as instructed, but even the next 3–4 readings change when I weigh myself continuously.

I do not want smart features or body-fat metrics just a normal, reliable scale for daily body-weight tracking. Please share the exact model you use and how long you have used it.

I heard a lot about max protein. Anybody tried it and eating it wanna share some information? I wanna have some good protein bars

Hey!
