Coach Dr. Rahul Sharma (Founder – CYRUNS SPORTS & WELLNESS)

Sometimes in life, we need a shock, a jolt, or a wakeup call to get us doing something different. We could be living a successful life. We could have a job that brings in good money and we could believe everything is on track for a happy existence. That was the case with me, when I got diagnosed with High Cholesterol & Hypertension & put on lifetime medicine. The quest to be healthy & off medicine led me to Running & culminated into my nature like breathing, eating, sleeping & running. Ultimately my passion for health and fitness, led me to becoming a certified running trainer & nutritionist, leave behind my 21 years of corporate life & venture into space of Health & Fitness.

Fitness is here to be enjoyed! Fitness provides us with the ability to enjoy a healthy active lifestyle. The beauty is you get to choose your own fitness adventures – the options are endless. As a passionate Certified Trainer, my role is to motivate, enable and make training a fun and rewarding experience. I love to see people achieve their personal health and fitness goals, through a structured, tailored & scientific approach of fitness programs. Life is an adventure, filled with continual improvement and we can achieve our BIG Audacious Goals!
