About me

Vijay Thakkar is an exercise science and functional medicine coach. A dynamic entrepreneur passionate about fitness, he is a business leader who writes on health, wellness, lifestyle, fitness and nutrition in India. Hailing from one of the most influential families in the Indian BFSI Sector, his natural career path was pre-charted. However, he couldn't let go of his keen interest in fitness. After his successful stint in his financial broking business for a few years, he formalised his interest by gaining further international education in his interest in sports fitness, which led to his attainment of the most coveted Master's Degree in Sports Management from the University of South Wales. This, too, wasn't enough for this enthusiastic & passionate person, who wanted to connect on all points related to fitness, and thus he went on to acquire a fleet of International Certifications in Exercise & Nutrition Science accredited by global names. Vijay, with his keen foresight and extensive knowledge backed by international learning on various kinds of fitness models across the globe, then decided to launch a brand that now stands as India's most awarded, premium and celebrity fitness elite hub offering personalized service and premium wellness standards to fitness enthusiasts, in the heart of Mumbai city under the brand name of "48 Fitness". The brand encompasses all aspects of enhancing one's lifestyle, like anti-ageing, general fitness, aesthetics, sports fitness, etc. Almost immediately after its launch, the fitness club caught the attention of many celebrities, who patronize the brand 48 Fitness passionately and regularly. Vijay has led 48 Fitness since its inception in 2013, taking it to untouched heights. 48 Fitness prides itself on being an innovation & knowledge-led fitness brand; whose cutting-edge technology and strong fundamentals set it apart from its competitors. The name '48' represents an individual's resting heartbeat, a tiny indication of how knowledge runs in the brand's DNA. There is a famous quote- 'Passion is the key to success', and when an entrepreneur turns his passion into his career, it correlates to his desire and capacity to go above & beyond the call of duty to achieve superlative outcomes. Journey of 48 Fitness is no different, being a pioneer brand in the fitness business in India, a game changer in its true sense. 48 Fitness-brand owned by Angel Digitech Pvt.
