Ep 402 - Hall Of Fame | Pooja Shah: Becoming A New Woman With A Body Transformation

·39 min·3 clips

Pooja Shah tried for 10 years to get fit, but it took seeing her friend's RNT transformation to finally commit.

Akash Vaghela, founder of RNT Fitness, hosts this episode featuring Pooja Shah, an RNT member from Kenya. Pooja describes her decade-long struggle with fitness, trying various programs without success. She was inspired to join RNT in 2022 after seeing her friend Salvan's transformation, though she delayed for two years due to fears about protein bulking her up and meal prepping being boring. Initially, Pooja faced challenges juggling her new routine with caring for grandparents and in-laws during COVID regulations, nearly quitting in the first month. Her husband joined the journey, providing support, and her family became supportive of their dietary changes. Pooja discusses navigating social events in Nairobi's food-centric culture by checking menus and prioritizing health. She highlights how the transformation boosted her confidence, leading to a fitness photo shoot she conducted herself, despite technical issues. The journey impacted her spiritual practices, helping her detach from food and increase self-awareness through journaling. Pooja's identity shifted as she started choosing activities like tennis over meals and inspired others, including her husband and family. She now focuses on strength goals like doing pull-ups and maintains her physique. The episode concludes with Pooja encouraging listeners to commit fully to the RNT program for life-changing results.
