Every story of transformation begins with a challenge. For an INFS scholar (and now a FITTR Coach), Smriti Pandey, that challenge came at 85 kgs, battling endometriosis and constant pain, when she was told surgery was her last hope. But instead of giving in to despair, Smriti chose to fight… and take control of her health.
The Struggle That Started It All
At 85 kgs, Smriti was dealing with more than just extra weight. She faced constant pain from endometriosis, and doctors told her that surgery might be her only option. She tried everything… medications, walking regularly, sleeping on time… but nothing worked. She even joined Zumba classes, hoping to lose weight, only to end up with knee pain that made her feel even more hopeless. Without a clear understanding of nutrition and structured training, each effort seemed to hit a wall.
Finding the Right Guidance
For a long time, Smriti observed the FITTR group silently, others transforming, reclaiming their health from the worst scenarios, wondering if she too could overcome her struggles. Everything changed the day Smriti discovered FITTR’s Get Shredded program. Unlike her previous attempts, this wasn’t about random workouts or harsh diets.
Slowly, she began following the plan. It wasn’t easy at first, but over time, Smriti lost 20 kgs. For the first time, she saw that change was possible when she had the right knowledge and guidance.
Facing Setbacks: Pregnancy and Its Challenges
Just as she started seeing progress, pregnancy brought its own set of challenges. The weight crept back, knee and back pain returned, and she even struggled with wrist and heel pain, alongside bouts of depression.
Yet, Smriti refused to give up. She had a vision: she wanted to be a mom who could run, play, and chase after her child. She also wanted to raise her little one with real nutrition knowledge, not myths or random advice from the internet.
Taking Control With the Right Knowledge
This time, Smriti didn’t just focus on herself. She decided to learn how to help others, too. She enrolled in the INFS Diploma in Nutrition and Fitness to gain the skills and knowledge she once needed!
With a toddler at home, finding time to study was a real challenge. She often stayed up late at night just to complete her syllabus. With her FITTR coach supporting her journey, Smriti worked consistently on her health. Slowly but surely, the weight came off, her body fat dropped by 22%, and most importantly, her pain disappeared. Even her endometriosis began to heal.
The Diploma broke down complex concepts into simple, easy-to-follow approaches. She learned how to design fitness programs tailored to individual needs, address doubts confidently, and guide people with empathy and confidence.
Becoming an Inspiration: A FITTR Coach
Today, Smriti is a FITTR coach, transforming lives in the same way her own life was transformed. The woman who once felt broken by her diagnosis now helps others rebuild their health and confidence.
Her message is simple: “Start where you are and stay consistent. There will be self-doubt, challenges, and setbacks, but every small step counts. If I can do this while juggling motherhood and life, so can you.”
