About — Stay Fit With Sid

Why I do this

I was the kid no one would have bet on.

Skinny, awkward, unsure of my own body — for most of my early life, fitness was the thing other people had figured out. The shift didn't come from a gym membership or a discovery moment. It came slowly, between long working days, by paying attention to what actually moved the needle.

I rebuilt myself while studying law for five years and then while working at one of India's top corporate law firms. Long hours, constant deadlines, no time for round trips to a trainer. If a method couldn't survive that schedule, I dropped it. The plan I now run with clients is what survived.

Eventually the work I cared about wasn't on the desk in front of me — it was on the other side of a screen, helping someone else do what I'd done. I left the firm. Coaching is the work now: a small practice, built for the people it's actually for, not scaled for scaling's sake.

The path here

From skinny law student to full-time coach.

Eight years of paying attention — to my own body first, then to other people's.

2017 · College

A skinny start.

Started a five-year law degree as the underconfident kid in the room — no athletic background, no body to speak of, and no real idea of what fitness actually was. Spent more time reading about lifting than lifting.

2020 · The pandemic shift

Push-ups, pull-ups, and paying attention.

Locked down at home with no gym, I started doing the only thing I could — bodyweight basics, a few times a week. Within months, my body looked different and so did my head. That's where I first realised this could be taught, not just done.

2022 · The toughest test

Top-tier law firm. Eighty-hour weeks.

Joined one of India's top corporate law firms. The hours were brutal, the schedule unpredictable, the stress constant. This was the lab where every textbook plan failed and only the methods that respected real life survived. I started posting fitness content on the side — partly to teach, partly to stay accountable.

2023 · Going deeper

Anatomy, nutrition, lab markers.

Got serious about the science. Took proper coursework in nutrition and anatomy. Started reading bloodwork like other people read news — lipid panels, HbA1c, vitamin D, hormones. The shift from "what works for me" to "how does the body actually respond" happened here.

2024 · The first clients

A small, private circle.

Started taking on a handful of clients alongside the day job. Friends, then friends of friends. The method was the same one I'd built for myself — designed around real schedules, grounded in lab work, explained at every step. By the end of the year I had a small waitlist.

2025 · Going full-time

Left the firm. Coaching now is the work.

Resigned from the law firm to coach full-time. Not because I'd "always wanted to" — but because the people I was working with on the side were getting results that mattered, and I wanted to give that the time it deserved. This is the practice now.

What I believe

Four things shape every plan I build.

all_inclusive

Built to outlast the programme

What matters is what you carry forward — the method, the why, and a body you understand. Those have to stay with you long after the calls stop.

help_outline

Why before what

Every decision gets explained. Plans you don't understand collapse the moment your schedule shifts. Plans you understand, you can rebuild.

Bloodwork over the bathroom scale

Real fitness shows up in lab markers — lipids, glucose, hormones, deficiencies. Weight is one signal among many, and rarely the most important one.

schedule

Lifestyle-fit, not life-disrupting

If a plan can't survive your real week — your travel, your meetings, your social life — it isn't the plan for you. Sustainability is the design constraint.

Beyond the screen

More than a coach. A small, growing community.

Group meets, training events, and an active post-programme circle. Independence doesn't mean alone.

How I work

This is the slower, deeper kind of coaching.

There are faster routes to a six-week shred. If that's what you're after, this isn't the right fit. The work I do is built for people who want to understand the why behind every change, who care about lab markers as much as the mirror, and who are looking for a body that holds up over years — not weeks. We start with where you are. We only proceed if it's the right fit.

Get fit. Understand how. Stay fit forever.

Book a consultation. We'll go through where you are, where you want to be, and whether coaching is the right next step. No pitch, clarity either way.
