EMBODI Your journey
Introducing Namita and her story…
What originally brought you to EMBODI?
I was at a point in my life where I needed help in getting myself up off the ground and rebuild my strength and stamina.
What was going on in your life when you decided to prioritize your fitness?
I was coming out of a long journey of 3 year filled with childbirth, IVF, post partum complications and 2 major brain surgeries and my body was just completely broken. I needed a supporting community to help me relearn to train my muscles, build up stamina and strength and get my body back to a point where it was healthy not just for myself but for my kids.
What surprised you most once consistency became part of your routine?
That I could do things I have believed for my whole life I cannot do such as running. I never ever thought I could get to the point where I could run for a prolonged period of time but I think the discipline of routine made me start believing I could try new things and so I tried running and finished 2025 by running a 5k!
What role did the coaches play in helping you stay consistent?
The biggest role! You both just create an environment where I know I’m going to leave a better version of myself. You show belief in me in the hardest moments and there’s no better feeling for a human.
What changes did you notice beyond strength or fitness?
My mental frame of mind is shifted - nothing feels impossible anymore. I had the crazy idea of trying to do the hyrox competition which never in a million years would have crossed my mind 2 years ago.
How did training affect your confidence or energy outside the gym?
Movement in general has fully embedded itself into my life as a way to balance my self. I feel like whenever I’m having a rough day I need to just move or show up to train because I believe it will make me feel better.
What’s possible when someone commits to themselves, even imperfectly?
So much but I feel like more than anything you end up discovering yourself in ways you didn’t even know existed.
