A Transformation Beyond Fitness: How I Became A Fittr Coach

A Transformation Beyond Fitness: How I Became A Fittr Coach

By Smita Bhatnagar

Fittr Coach

Dear  Community,

I’m Smita Bhatnagar, and today, I want to share with you my personal journey—how I transitioned from a corporate professional to becoming your Fittr Coach.

Not too long ago, I was a version of myself that many of you may recognize. I spent most of my days lounging on the couch, binge-watching Crime Patrol, and indulging in parathas, relishing what I believed to be a well-earned break after dedicating 17 years to my career as a Marketing professional. My life had been a whirlwind of travel, commuting through the chaotic Delhi traffic from Gurgaon, and balancing work with the demands of two young children and a bustling household. So, when I finally decided to step back from my career, I convinced myself that this new lifestyle was the “reward” I had earned.

One day, while mindlessly scrolling through Facebook, I came across the Fittr group. I had joined it long ago but never actively engaged with it. As I scrolled through the posts, I was awestruck by the transformation stories—so much so that I thought, “This can’t be real! These photos must be morphed.” I dismissed it initially, but the thought lingered. Could people really transform themselves so dramatically?

Curiosity got the better of me, and I found myself returning to the Fittr group, captivated by the results people were achieving. That’s when I first encountered the term “Fittr Coach.” I had no idea what it meant, and though I was embarrassed to admit my ignorance, I decided to post anonymously, asking what a Fittr Coach was and how they helped people transform. From that moment, my journey began—what started as a casual question evolved into an incredible transformation of my own life.

At 46, I was a stay-at-home mom, weighing 70 kg and living an unhealthy lifestyle. Today, I stand here as a Fittr Coach, ready to help others achieve their own fitness goals. My story is proof that it’s never too late to reinvent yourself, no matter where you are in life.

The Turning Point

In 2022, I decided to take my first step into the world of fitness under the guidance of my mentor, Nitesh Dangey. My initial goal was simple: look good for a family wedding. Little did I know, this goal would transform into something much bigger. I completed my first 12-week transformation program, shedding 10-12 kg along the way, and realized my fitness journey had only just begun.

Encouraged by my coach, I pursued a Diploma in Nutrition and Fitness from the Institute of Nutrition and Fitness Sciences (INFS), aiming to become a Fittr Coach myself. With new knowledge and confidence, I applied for the role—but faced an unexpected setback. I didn’t pass the first round, the “Condition Check Round,” because Fittr requires its coaches to meet an impeccable fitness standard. While I had become fit, I wasn’t quite at the “Fittr” level yet.

Feeling disappointed, I turned to my coach for guidance. He asked me one simple question: “On a scale of 1 to 10, how important is it for you to become a Fittr Coach?” My answer was a resounding “10.” With that, we decided to take on a new challenge—Transformation Challenge 21. Our goal was twofold: improve my fitness level and reapply for the coach position. The result? I secured a spot in the Top 20 of TC21 and successfully passed all stages to become a Fittr Coach.

What I’ve Learned

My journey has taught me some invaluable lessons, and I’d love to share them with you:

1. Age is just a number

Whether you’re 26 or 46, you can start your fitness journey at any time.

2. A great coach makes all the difference:

The right mentor can guide you toward success, both physically and mentally.

3. Failure is part of the process

It’s not an obstacle but a stepping stone toward achieving your goals.

4. Consistency is key

Trust the process, stay dedicated, and you’ll see the results.

Moving Forward

Now that you know a bit more about my story, I’m excited to embark on this new chapter with you as your Fittr Coach. Together, let’s work towards transforming lives through fitness, nutrition, and well-being.

Thank you for being part of my journey, and I can’t wait to help you achieve your own fitness goals!
