While working out with Bollywood celebs, Cindy makes sure that she always demonstrates fully, and sometimes even join the gang to keep them motivated and get a good workout herself.

More than fitness, Cindy is a believer of self-love. In one of her Instagram posts, she says, "Loving ourselves & loving others are essential to growth and the intrinsic nature of happiness. It’s always the way we look at it, the way we interpret it, the way we carry it forward with us and embed it, it’s the layers of conditioning we are responsible for... It’s always a lot of noise and not enough LOVE."

In one of her Bootcamp sessions, Cindy says, "Working away building a little army of tough nuts."
