In this episode of RNT Fitness Radio, we speak with Shruti Sangani, an RNTer who shares a truly remarkable story to overcome significant challenges in her life. During the conversation, Shruti shares how her journey with RNT began after being abandoned and losing her sense of identity.   And what’s different about her story is how she started RNT underweight, and in need of gaining weight. At 39kg 5 foot 6, her goals were different to the norm. And in this episode, she reflects on how her strength and resilience during this time of being underweight prevented her from falling into depression, and at one point, even death.   Shruti talks about how her “why” changed to always being strong for her nephews, and how this became a significant driving factor for her.    Overall, Shruti’s story is one of hope, perseverance, and the power of the human spirit.

Christmas had come and gone. And Mark was looking back at some of the memories, when he spotted a video that took him by surprise. He was out of breath sitting down, with his stomach on display. He felt embarrassed, and immediately knew he needed to do something about it. With many of his friends having transformed with RNT, he knew there was only one place to make it happen. The rest is history. The biggest challenge for Mark was the knowledge on how to get results when you’re time poor and juggling multiple priorities. As an active father and busy entrepreneur running multiple businesses, Mark needed a structure, strategy and system that worked for HIS lifestyle. And since starting RNT in May 2021, just after his 50th birthday, Mark is now unrecognisable. He’s gone from 105kg to 71.3kg. His energy and confidence is through the roof. And he’s used the physical as the vehicle to level up every aspect of his life. Over the course of this journey, he’s acquired over 60 deals in the property space, sold a busine

When Thiago became a dad in 2019, he started thinking back to his childhood. Growing up, his father couldn’t do any intense exercise due to 5 heart operations. So it was always clear when his time came, he’d want to be able to do whatever they wanted with him; whether it be running, swimming, playing or jumping. At the end of 2021, Thiago noticed his vitality was decreasing. He was constantly looking for places to sit down when he was out to play with his daughter. Which is when he realised something needed to change. Having listened to the RNT podcast for years, Thiago had RNT at the top of his mind. But initially, he wanted to try to figure it out himself. Lacking accountability, support and guidance, he fell into the Monday to Friday dieting trap. “I was eating pizzas on Fridays, burgers on Saturdays, and brownies on Sunday afternoon with wine at night”. This coupled with hopping from one fitness programme to the next, every few weeks, meant Thiago was getting nowhere. Until he decided to bite the bullet,

I got a really special one for you today with one of my best friends, Abhi Thakur. Abhi’s been on one hell of a journey with us at RNT, having dropped 32kg in the past 15 months since we launched Pro in October 2021. The crazy bit is he’s still going, with another 10-15kg to reach his life-long dream of six-pack abs. I recorded this a few days ago whilst training in Phuket with Abhi, who happens to have one of the biggest work capacities and training intensities I’ve seen. As a high performing city executive who’s absolutely crushing it in his career, health has always been the missing piece of the puzzle. Until now. Seeing his behaviour, mindset and identity totally transform has been a pleasure to witness, and this episode goes deep into exactly what it takes to radically change yourself. We’ll be sharing the full story and case study as he reaches his checkpoint, but having spent 2 weeks with Abhi seeing the new man in action, we just had to hit record!   Support Akash & icanyoucantoo   Fight tickets
