New Delhi, Octomber 09, 2019: “The day you stop competing with others for looks and body, you will find the real YOU. Do not lose the good in you, lose the bad – the fat.” 33 Yr. old, Fitness Consultant and Nutritionist, Entrepreuner, Mother of an 8-year old. Married to an Army Officer. These are some of the many accolades associated with Diksha Chhabra who is weight-lifting her way to success.
Diksha is progressive and fearless when it comes to training and in every aspect of her life. She has been practicing strength training for more than 3 years. In the year 2017 she won ‘Mrs. India Earth’ at runner-up position and was also awarded the subtitle of “Mrs. Body Fit.” Diksha has continuously challenged the cliches and the contemporary image of an Indian woman. She is now inspiring more men and women to be a better and fitter version of themselves through her startup which provides customised Health solutions world-wide.
Having gone through numerous incidents of body-shaming and under-confidence due to body weight and then lack of information regarding the right way to reach her body goals, Diksha realised that most of the failed attempts by many like her was because of the misleading and vague information available in today’s time. Hence she decided to start her own consultancy after spending enough time working on herself and later getting certifications in the field of Nutrition and exercise sciences to devise her customised plans. Today, Diksha sees through people going through a similar phase in life. She connects with people at a personal level and enables them to bring about a lifestyle change.
Three years back, Diksha was a full time working busy Mommy and a homemaker, with a hectic schedule and family responsibilities. Like a lot of married women in India, Diksha never paid attention to her health and fitness, and was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and PCOD which led to massive weight gain. She was close to 100 kilos, 29 years and depressed. She then decided to change, change her lifestyle, her outlook towards food and exercise, basically decided to take charge of her life. It was a gradual process. From not being able to walk even for 2 km, she became someone who could deadlift 100 kgs and squat with 80 kgs. Now she is just not a healthy person with no hormonal problems (she has stopped taking medicine for thyroid) 61 kgs of weight but also a trusted consultant who has people from across the world enrolling for her customised wellness programs.
In a field which is pre dominated with Men, It was not easy for Diksha to promote weight training to women, with the myths across the society regarding women lifting heavy weights which is otherwise considered an activity for men, She had to change the perspective by applying what she preaches on herself. Hence she constantly logs about her physical transformation and how her trainings are helping people through her blogs. What started as a passion to change someone’s life via her knowledge and experience with regular posts on social media has now become a full-fledged business in the span of two years with appx 400 percent growth and many media coverages and renowned motivational speaker in prestigious public platforms.
Being a women entrepreneur in today’s time has its own challenge.. A women is encouraged to be career oriented but unlike men she has to fit in the roles of a homemaker, a mother and a wife. Maintaining a right balance between career and Family sometimes does take a lot of energy and efforts. For Diksha entrepreneurship was the last thing in her To Do list few years back. But A transformation from a Homemaker to an entrepreneur is a message for each women that Marriage is not the end of One’s aspirations and dreams. If you really want to do something and you think you have it in you, Your self believe will make things happen..
