The Story of How I Lost Weight and Found Myself

From a young age, I was deeply passionate about sports. I played badminton at the national level, and the court was where I felt most alive. But life had a different plan.

A severe knee ligament tear forced me to step away from the game I loved most. Over the years, I dislocated my knee not once, but three times. The physical pain was intense, but the emotional toll was even heavier. For an athlete, being told you can’t play anymore feels like losing a part of your identity.

Then came COVID. While the world stood still, I was confined to bed rest, unable to train or move the way I once did. Slowly but surely, the weight crept in and I went from 56kgs to 68kgs.

At that point, I didn’t just feel the weight physically; I felt it mentally and emotionally too.

I remember looking in the mirror and thinking: This isn’t me. That moment sparked something in me.

I didn’t want to just lose weight, now I wanted to find myself again.

But the truth? It wasn’t easy. Without the right guidance, it took me much longer than I expected. I struggled, I made mistakes, and I often felt lost. Yet, every setback became a lesson. Every failure pushed me to learn more about my body, my habits, and the science behind real transformation.

Once I achieved my own results, I knew one thing for certain: losing weight doesn’t automatically qualify you to help others do the same.

If I truly wanted to coach people, I had to invest in knowledge, education, and certifications. So, I dedicated myself to continuous learning:

• Diploma in Fitness – CPD Certified
• Personal Training Certification – Nordic Fitness Education
• Advanced Fitness Diploma (15 CPD Hours)
• Level 5 Personal Coach (20 CEUs) – ISSA
• Excel Nutrition UNI Level 1 
• Internationally Accredited Certificate in Nutrition – NASM and AFAA
   

These certifications gave me not just knowledge, but confidence that I could guide others with methods that were safe, effective, and sustainable.

I started sharing my story online, never thinking it would turn into anything beyond a passion project. I wasn’t chasing followers or trying to build a business. I was simply sharing my struggles and solutions, hoping to help even one woman who felt the way I once did.

Fast forward to 2025: after four years of consistent content creation, I’ve built a community of over 100,000 people on Instagram. More importantly, I’ve had the privilege of coaching for over three years and transforming the lives of more than 500 clients across the world.

That’s how FitWithBhavika was born a platform built on honesty, empathy, and science-backed transformation.

And now, with PeakX, I’m taking this mission to the next level. PeakX is not just about fitness. It’s about helping you reach your peak—in health, in mindset, and in life.

Because this was never just a business idea. It was born from struggle, built with resilience, and fueled by a simple belief: If I could change my life, so can you.

This is why I designed my fitness plans to fit right into your life.

This is for you whether you are busy with work, busy at home, or just busy with life. Whether you’ve stepped into a gym before or not.

It was with a combination of clean eating and the right exercise that I started seeing results. So will you.

Through my customised programs, I will show you how to eat and work out sustainably.

Here are five simple yet powerful habits you can start today as a trial run:

1. Move More: Walk as much as you can. Start small 2k steps, then 5k, and build your way to 10k daily.
2. Eat Cleaner: Include at least 2 cups of vegetables and 2 seasonal fruits every day.
3. Hydrate: Aim for 3 litres of water daily hydration is non-negotiable.
4. Disconnect: Limit your screen time to cut out negativity. Keep your phone away for at least 30 minutes after waking up and before bed.
5. Practice Self-care: Be kind to yourself. Meditate, journal, read, nap and spend at least 15 minutes daily reconnecting with yourself. And don’t compromise on 6+ hours of sleep.
    

These small shifts, combined with my flexible meal plans and workout routines, can change your life forever.

The best part? It’s all natural, sustainable, and completely manageable just like the path I followed to get here.
