-Trainer

I am Vishwanthar Ramaiah, owner & fitness trainer of a modest but fulfilling fitness center, the Iron Cult, in Bangalore, India. Since I am the owner and one of  the instructor of the gym it makes me doubly responsible to teach my gym clients the right approach.  I am also an International sports sciences association (ISSA) certified fitness trainer, a barefoot training specialist and a kettle bell instructor.  I have also have had the experience of training under giants like Ido portal(Singapore) and Steve atlas (online training). Moreover, the continuous research I conduct through books, peers, coaches, and internet help me update on the latest fitness trends.  Last but not the least, I am a highly motivated individual with an intense desire to workout, so although I am 40 years old you will see a fit person in me.

Why do you think I quit my law practice?  Although I am a lawyer by  profession my passion to physical culture pulled me to become a fitness trainer.  Lastly, twelve years of operating the gym has taught me several things about training and continues to teach me even now.

Some Personal Information

I have been infatuated with the fitness lifestyle ever since I was a small child, having been greatly inspired by my maternal Uncle Narayana, an avid weight lifter and farmer, who resided in my native land Maddur, a friendly city roughly 80 kilometers from Bangaluru. My brother Chaitra and I looked forward to watching him and his Brother, the late Doctor Ramakrishna, perform vigorous dumbbell routines during our annual summer visits! My enthusiasm for weight training remained steady until I graduated from high school in 1992.

Unfortunately, as is the case for so many people, the post-graduation period was a very volatile time in my life both physically and emotionally. In short, as a result of ingesting contaminated food, I came down with some severe intestinal infections, which in turn prompted irritable bowel syndrome—a condition that depleted my energy and sent me reeling into the throes of a consuming three-year depression. At long last I resolved to get back into weight training, and having done so, I next found myself ensnared in the trap of the mighty EGO—and to fulfill this demonic ego, I needed MUSCLES! LARGE MUSCLES! (However, I am proud to say that I always upheld a high work ethic and never considered steroids an option for my ego-fulfillment.) But since that time, I have learned much. No longer do I idolize large muscles. Rather, I am a staunch advocate for a highly integrated, functional body, and such a body requires strong muscles and low body fat. I promised to be brief, so I will uphold my word and keep my long story short, but for those who are interested in learning more about my personal “fitness odyssey”.
