How a Personal Training Journey at UFIT Transformed an Entire Family
Pragya and Venky never expected their fitness journey to create such a powerful ripple effect, one that would transform not only their lives but their entire family. When they first stepped into UFIT Singapore, they weren’t chasing trophies or dramatic weight loss. They were simply two working professionals trying to make fitness a consistent part of their busy lives.
What started as a simple goal, to stay active, soon became something far bigger: a complete lifestyle overhaul, a stronger relationship, and a family fitness mindset they’ve now passed on to their son.
When Pragya and Venky first stepped into UFIT, they weren’t chasing trophies or dramatic weight loss. They were simply two working professionals trying to make fitness a consistent part of their lives. What started as a desire for routine has blossomed into something far greater, a lifestyle overhaul, a stronger relationship, and a lifelong fitness mindset they’ve now shared with their son.
The Mindset Shift: "Health is Wealth"
For Venky, the mantra “health is wealth” wasn’t just inspirational, it was inherited.
“My father always reminded me that physical well-being is the foundation for everything else,” he says. Whether at home or away for work, his father would always ask the same question: “Did you exercise today?”
That question stayed with him. And as he and Pragya moved through different seasons of life, they realised they needed more structure, accountability, and support to build sustainable habits.
“We were active, but never consistent,” Pragya shares. “We needed something that would keep us on track long-term.”
That’s when they made the decision to join UFIT, starting with personal training sessions to create purpose and structure in their workouts.
Back to Basics With Personal Training in Singapore
The beginning wasn’t glamorous, and that was the point. Both had reached a plateau, and instead of jumping straight into advanced techniques, their coach, Harry Cochrane, brought them back to fundamentals.
They focused on:
movement quality
cardiovascular endurance
foundational strength
gradually building lean muscle mass
It wasn’t flashy, but it was effective. With consistent strength training, conditioning sessions, and UFIT group fitness classes, they didn’t just improve, they flourished.
Week after week, early mornings, late evenings, they showed up.
And soon, they weren’t just training anymore. They were thriving.
More Than a Gym: A Community That Changed Everything
What began as two individual journeys evolved into a shared passion. “UFIT isn’t just a gym for us anymore,” Venky explains. “It’s part of our lifestyle.”
They became familiar faces in the community, bringing energy to classes, cheering on fellow members, and stepping out of their comfort zones by signing up for HYROX Singapore events. Training together deepened their bond and strengthened their bodies.
And the results spoke for themselves:
Pragya: +1.5kg muscle, −4% body fat
Venky: −10% body fat, +4kg muscle
But beyond the numbers, the biggest transformation was in their mindset.
A Fitness Lifestyle Passes on to the Next Generation
Today, fitness isn’t something Pragya and Venky do, it’s something they live. Their son, Arya, now joins them on weekends at the gym, often watching their sessions and recently participating in his first Junior HYROX event.
His excitement mirrors exactly what they’ve always hoped to model:
that fitness is fun, empowering, and part of everyday life.
“Our son looks up to us now,” says Pragya. “We’re not just setting an example, we’re doing it together.”
The UFIT Effect: Coaching, Community and Consistency
Behind their transformation is the environment that supported every step. “The trainers’ energy is infectious,” Venky says. “It’s never felt like a task. We genuinely look forward to every session.”
Whether in personal training, group classes, or HYROX competitions, Pragya and Venky have become pillars of positivity within the UFIT community. Their story is proof that with the right support, you don’t just change your body you transform your life.
A Journey That’s Just Only Just Beginning
Looking back, neither of them imagined how far they would come. They joined UFIT to build consistency, but instead found connection, strength, and a community that celebrates their progress every step of the way.
For anyone struggling to stay committed, their story is a reminder that transformation doesn’t require perfection, just willingness and support.
With the right coach, the right environment, and the right mindset, your fitness journey can become life-changing too.
