Victoria: Hey everyone, it’s Sensei Victoria Whitfield here, your journey partner in business, welcoming you back to episode 157 of the Journeypreneur Podcast. This is your source for channeled holistic stress management techniques, guidance, inspiration and motivation to stay on your path to rapid financial ascension and massive impact as a conscious entrepreneur.
So today I have the honor and pleasure of sharing a wonderful goddess friend of mine who I've met locally here in New Jersey and through all of our networking magic that we do with women entrepreneurs.
And her name is Chitra. You can find her on Instagram at @Fit_Warrior_Chitra. And I want you to connect with her because she has an amazing story and I'm so happy to get to share it with you. Welcome to the podcast goddess.
Chitra: Thank you. Thank you so much for having me. I'm so excited to be here.
Victoria: Oh my gosh. So we love each other. We know each other are awesome, awesome goddesses. But this may be the very first time that someone is getting to see you, to encounter what you do.
So if you could please describe to us what exactly in your own words do you do and what are the three things that you're known for especially, can you tell us?
Chitra: Ok, thank you so much for having me. It's such an honor to be here. I love you. I love your energy and everything about you. So it's it's a pleasure to be here.
I am a weight loss and body transformation coach. And I have a Fit Warrior Method that I use to work with my clients. And it is basically a combination of fitness, nutrition and mindset. I help you learn how to move your body right. Move it efficiently so that you are not only losing weight, but you are toning and tightening as you do that, and as well as with the nutrition.
It's the same thing; we try to work on your nutrition to make it effective or fat loss. And of course, my Warrior Mindset - without the mindset, we can't get anywhere. So, you know, I teach everybody how to build that warrior mindset so that they can stay on their fitness journey and crush all their goals.
Victoria: So fabulous. I love it, I love it. I, look, you know, I know so many women who've been in your program and they all, once they get to talking about you, they're like Rocky! They start their fighter energy up! It so fun and so inspiring to see the impact that you leave in the world around you.
Chitra: I love what I do. And it's - we all have that inner warrior inside of us that needs to be brought out. Men, too.
Victoria: So that actually makes me curious, like what happened to inspire you to start your your program? You're in this warrior work that you do with people around weight loss. Like, was there some point that you had an epiphany of like, "aha, I have got to start the fit warrior life"? Could you tell us what happened?
Chitra: Yeah, that's a great question. And you know, you already know this, but your viewers may not. But, six years ago I lost 80 pounds and it was an incredible transformation, not just for my body, but my entire mindset shifted. And I had always, always struggled with weight my entire life. So it was something that I had tried different diets.
I would lose the weight. I would gain it back. I would lose the weight. I would gain it back. It was very frustrating. I always say I've been in that deep, dark maze of confusion where you don't know what to do, but you're trying to figure it out. And it can be very frustrating when you see the results, but they only last temporarily. And then before you know it, you've gained it all back and then some.
So when I lost the weight finally in 2014, I knew there was something different about that program. And I knew that combining the fitness, the nutrition and the mindset together is what gave me that lasting change. So really that was the moment when I was like, "if I can get out of that roller coaster and go into cruise control, I need to show everybody how to do this. I have to, like, I owe it to everyone. I have to pay it forward." And that's where my coach was working with me at the time, kind of pushed me a little bit to take on this journey.
And I was like, well, I never thought I'd be a fitness coach. There's no way. But then, you know, as we talked about it more and more, the vision started to become clearer and made more sense. And I'm so glad I took that leap and I got all my certifications. I'm a certified personal trainer. I have my corrective exercise specialization, and it is so fun.
Victoria, I love your energy! Lol!
And of course, my nutrition coaching. So I try to keep up all of my certifications because that's important to me. And every two years I have to renew them just for me to learn and keep up with what's going on in science and health, my clients. So that was really the moment. I think when I found a way out, I knew I'd show it to the others.
