Abhimanyu Bhargava

I started following Abhimanyu in 2020 during lockdown when I was trying to focus on my health. He keeps on sharing useful information, exercise routines and tips on social media which comes in handy.
Also took a session with him to explore and understand my food habits and some issues. He was extremely patient and listens well before coming to any solution. He gave practical solutions to help me fix up the same. This was quite useful and I am still trying to work on those improving day by day.
Best part about him is the communication style and that he is approachable. You can reach out to him for fitness sessions or even 1: 1 sessions around some specific questions you might have regarding diet, exercise or relationship with food etc.

I have been following Abhimanyu’s journey for past 4 years and find his approach to overall health coaching pragmatic and easy to follow. Have bookmarked many of his contents across different social platforms for easy reference. Keep sharing your talent with us, Abhi!

I have been training with Abhi on and off for about 2 years. I never thought that I could ever be motivated to get out of the bed and get to the gym, let alone learn from someone online sitting in a different country. Having never done any sort of “exercise” in my life, I was very susceptible to Give Up. The best part for me was the slow start with small sets of simple exercises. Abhi discussed technical details of the stress that a new exercise routine could cause and the importance of correct form from day 1. With a simple low-intensity routine that progressed gradually, I could literally see my stamina building. In a month or so, I gradually increased to medium intensity, and then my body would demand extra reps on its own as I got stronger.

Another very important part of our discussion was food intake with Abhi’s favourite quote at the time being fat loss = calorie in – calorie out where calorie out includes calories burnt in exercise. With no major restrictions to the diet (apart from processed food and portion size) I simply followed the above and started my weight loss journey. With a very low muscle mass due to lack of exercise, my weight loss was initially slow due to added muscle mass but I felt much lighter and lot more energetic.

The only downturn of the routine was that I had to buy new clothes as I stopped fitting in my regular size, but I am not complaining!

Motivator, Coach, Friend, Counsellor… There are many hats Abhimanyu wears. We started as friends and now he is my coach for both Physical and Mental fitness. Abhimanyu’s approach is holistic, it is not only about building physical strength, but also about diet, lifestyle and way of living. Abhi started training me for strength using bodyweight which I can do any time, with no stress of going to the gym. Next, he worked on improving my diet. He guided and helped me design my own diet plans which are easy to follow, and always had a simple alternative if things didn’t work out as planned.

I was having severe wrist and elbow pain, Abhimanyu analysed the root cause of this pain. He explained that strengthening the scapula muscles and improving the position of my shoulders can help reduce the pain. He planned exercises to build strength focusing on my scapula and shoulders, which in turn reduced my wrist and elbow ache.

I can definitely feel the change in my thought process about fitness and diet. Abhimanyu designs workout based on your ability and slowly pushes you to do better. He engages in regular catch-ups as a Coach and has a very professional approach. Abhi is committed to bringing in a change in his clients and works with them to achieve their fitness goals. I look forward to improving my overall fitness under his able guidance.

I started my journey with Abhimanyu in Jan 2020. To understand the context, it is important to understand my situation at the beginning. For the past 10 years, I haven’t led a healthy lifestyle. In fact, I even had a hard time convincing myself on the logic of being healthy. I used to drink like it’s nobody’s business. Eat tons of Pizza and not exercise. I became lazy and really started enjoying it.

What I needed was more than a health coach. No health coach can resolve such mental issues. With Abhimanyu, it started off with a casual conversation and extended to a partnership. He’s obviously super healthy and believes in all things natural. No crash diets. No hardcore unsustainable exercise. The best part is his ability to understand the person and his needs. He carefully started breaking down my habits one by one. Late nights. Binge eating. Lazy days. Everything was addressed. Post that a diet and exercise plan was made which was carefully curated keeping in mind my training needs.

I can confidently say that what I’ve gone through is a mindset change. Body feels lighter. I feel better and more energetic throughout the day. I’m able to work longer. No constant pains. I’m even able to exercise harder which helps with the hormones (and ego) a lot. Thank you for your guidance.
