Ujjwal Patel’s journey is a powerful reminder that no matter where you start, you can always change the course of your life. As an IT engineer once struggling with class 3 obesity, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol, Ujjwal faced a multitude of challenges.
But Ujjwal’s story isn’t one of defeat—it’s a story of transformation, hope, and the power of determination.
A Difficult Beginning
At his heaviest, Ujjwal weighed 142 kgs. His body was overwhelmed by obesity, which put him at risk of many health complications. He was dealing with high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and an unhealthy lifestyle that made him feel physically and emotionally drained. The emotional toll was significant, especially as he struggled with sleepless nights and the stress of being a new father to a 3-month-old baby. Ujjwal’s confidence hit rock bottom, and he realized that something had to change.
Taking the First Step: Joining FITTR and INFS
Being a silent follower of FITTR for a while, Ujjal was intrigued by the transformation stories he saw. He knew that FITTR and INFS were a community of like-minded individuals who were focused on real change. After a while, Ujjwal made the decision to finally take charge of his health.
In mid-2022, Ujjwal enrolled under a coach, and that was when everything began to shift. For the first time, he had a structured approach to his fitness. As Ujjwal started losing weight, he also felt better physically and mentally. The confidence and happiness he had been missing for so long started to return. This ignited a passion in him to learn more about fitness, nutrition, and overall health, and he decided to enroll in the INFS Diploma in Nutrition and Fitness.
Balancing a full-time job, family responsibilities, and studies wasn’t easy, but Ujjwal’s determination kept him going. He lost 37 kgs while completing his diploma and gained knowledge that would help him not just improve his own life, but also guide others in their journeys. Along the way, he earned three additional certifications in Pregnancy and Postpartum Care, Kids and Adolescent Nutrition, and Weight Loss Plateau Strategies.
Looking To the Future
Today, Ujjwal is not just a fitness coach but a mentor to many. He specializes in helping people manage chronic conditions like diabetes, thyroid issues, knee pain, and recovery after pregnancy.
He also helps aspiring coaches achieve their dreams. He understands the importance of support, guidance, and a strong community in the fitness world. For him, fitness isn’t about the number on the scale—it’s about growth, learning, and helping others thrive.
Ujjwal is still working toward his dream of competing at ICN, and with his passion, dedication, and drive, there’s no doubt that he’ll make it. His journey is a reminder that no matter where you start, it’s never too late to take control of your health and happiness.
