Right from day one, Aamir showed the exemplary discipline, hitting the gym at 6am every day before a long day of work. His training involved a combination of strength training, powerlifting and HIIT. All this training had to be complemented with right nutrition to deliver results. Being a civil engineer meant, lot of visits to sites. But Aamir mentions, "Rihana took into account my schedule and planned my meals such that I could manage my nutrition even with hectic work timings and travelling. The best part was her constant checks and follow ups to see if I was adhering to the plan. This helped a lot to get me in the zone and come out of my pattern of impulsive eating" And within 3 months, the result of all this hard work were there for everyone to see -
"It was my dream since childhood to have a fit and strong body. Due to my work schedule I never got the chance of achieving it until I met Rihana Qureshi from GetFitWithRihana. She convinced me that commitment and dedication can get me the desired result. Today, training with her and following her diet plan, I have made a strong and a muscular body. Not just that, Rihana managed to make me look younger than earlier. From obese to strong only with GetFitWithRihana!" said Mr. Aamir Patel.

According to Rihana, nutrition is not rocket science. It's just that we have complicated it with unnecessary fads and expectations. When you feed your body the real nutrients it needs, it doesn't take time for the body to reciprocate and show results. The key to the success of any plan is to understand the client, their challenges, their goals and weave a nutrition/training into the lifestyle of the client. That is the only way it becomes sustainable.
From a surface level his journey has been physical, but Aamir says its more psychological for him where he feels stronger, fitter and younger than before. He says, "Apart from my changed look, the confidence I gained is the most priceless takeaway."
