Vaishnavi Boora - A game-changer by self-determination

Post her delivery, Vaishnavi could not focus on herself. She was caught between her kid, family commitments, and an unhealthy lifestyle. She lacked the time and self-commitment that had taken the last row in her reminder list. She says, “My increasing body weight and fat led me to depression. This is when I realized that the only person who could me was – MYSELF. I had to take charge of myself. I have to fight and hop onto this difficult journey to yet again get healthy, confident, and fit.”

Strong-willed she stepped into the gym. It was her first day and she looked at herself in the mirror and broke down crying. She couldn’t believe how she looked. She felt miserable! Yet she was stubborn-headed and decided that her goal was to lose the excessive baby weight and get back in shape. She adds, “ Those days I was ashamed to go out. People insulted me. They were rude and harsh to my condition. Their voice stuck to my head and it went on repeatedly in my head all day long. Then I knew, this was my journey and no one other than me could do it for me. I started working out, lifting weights and paid extra attention to my diet. The transformation was unbelievable. My outlook changed completely.”

She further adds, “In the process, I learned transformation starts from within and through self-love. For me, fitness was an attempt to get back to my lost shape & confidence. Life wasn't easy, but I knew I had to do it no matter what. I still face challenges every day, but I never QUIT.”

It was at this moment of revelation, she realized how other women suffer similarly. While postpartum depression is common, it is aggravated due to their negligence. Women tend to forget themselves. They do not have even an hour in the day for themselves. Lack of self-love leads to a dejected life. 

Vaishnavi added, “Starting as a fitness coach in 2012, I met clients (women) who were looking forward to a change. They wanted to alter the experience and shred every inch of extra weight to become fit. But, they were restricted from their families who asked why they needed to go to the gym? Why do you need to lose weight? This made me all the more realize why women needed it. I was steadfast to this journey for myself and aim to influence other women with a firm believe that we can do it. We shall do it not for others but for ourselves.”

Vaishnavi endeavours to continue this journey and bring a change in lifestyle for millions of people. She believes fitness is a necessity for the present modern lifestyle, and one should focus on an evolving and emerging lifestyle change. Fitness should be a part of everyone’s daily chores. However, with fitness, it is imperative to drive a healthy lifestyle by eating right. A well-balanced diet and a consistent workout regime can be a life-changing experience. 

As she is influencing thousands with her fitness journey, Vaishnavi is also a fashionista and is equally popular for her contemporary fashion sensibility. She is regarded highly for her knowledge and fashion taste influencing hundreds with conviction.

Vaishnavi says, “I get Goosebumps as I reflect on all my struggles and how I have overcome them. All the doubt, discomfort, and fear that I swallowed have got me here. I have no destination. My purpose is always to grow and create an impact on peoples' life. Even when things get hard, QUITTING is never an option for me. My mantra is when you are driven by passion, quitting isn't even an option. This keeps me going always.”

An ardent and committed woman, Vaishnavi Boora has been fighting her fears and struggles to break all stereotypes of society. She has been working towards a healthy and fit lifestyle to never turn back and is here to influence others for their well-being.
