Gladys has excellent people skills which is why several people/clients love being around her. She is energetic and knows how to motivate different people. She considers her own journey into the fitness world as the best example of how a conscious lifestyle change and exercising can literally transform a person’s life, irrespective of what stage of life they are in.

It was a wake-up call for Gladys, when at 40, she was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. She struggled with weight issues and muscle weakness that challenged her ability to lead a normal functional life. Refusing to live with the fear of lifelong dependency on medication, she took to gym workouts regularly. Alongside, she also learnt to combat stress levels and switched to eating healthy. Her self-discipline and willingness to go that extra mile showed results – she surprised herself and her doctor when the blood test came back cleared of hyperthyroidism in just 6 months! Since then, there has been no looking back.

Today, her life is all about motivating and inspiring more men and women who are combating with lifestyle related problems, to embrace fitness and keep at it. What started as a voluntary endeavor to help friends and family get back in shape, today has become her career and passion. She makes an impact in people’s lives by guiding them not only to achieve their fitness goals, but more importantly help them develop a healthier lifestyle.
