An Indian personal trainer who gets your food and your family
Most trainers hand Indian clients a chicken-and-broccoli plan and call it discipline when it fails. Rippd Fit is run by Sri Suri — an Indian coach and Exercise Physiologist with 15+ years of experience — and most of our clients come from Parramatta, Harris Park, Westmead and the wider Indian community. Coaching runs in English, Telugu or Hindi — whichever you think in. The programs are built for our bodies, our kitchens, and our schedules.
The problems Indian clients bring us every week
Dal, roti, rice, curd — the plan is built from the food your family already cooks. We flip the plate ratios and set protein targets that work in an Indian kitchen, vegetarian included.
South Asian bodies store fat viscerally at lower weights — the firm belly on an otherwise lean frame. We train it off with strength work and measure the waist, not just the scale.
Pre-diabetes runs early and often in our community. Structured strength training is the strongest lever on blood glucose there is — we program it and re-test alongside your GP.
A program that dies at the first family function was never a program. Ours plans for the biryani — one plate, enjoy it, back on track next meal. Consistency beats purity.
Screen. Prescribe. Re-test.
No template programs. Every client starts with a full movement and health screen, gets a program prescribed to their body and history, and re-tests every 12 weeks so progress is measured — not guessed.
Movement assessment, training history, injuries, and — where useful — bloods. We find out what your body actually needs before writing a single set.
A program built for you: exact exercises, loads, and progressions, adjusted week to week in the Rippd Fit app whether you train with us or remotely.
Every 12 weeks we re-measure — strength, composition, and the numbers you came in to change. The results tell us what the next block looks like.
Why an Indian trainer changes the result
It is not about heritage on a poster. It is that the two levers that decide fat loss — food and consistency — are cultural. A coach who has eaten your food his whole life doesn't ask you to abandon it; he shows you the protein maths of dal and paneer, the plate flip that keeps rice on the table, and how to survive a wedding season without losing the plot.
Add the clinical layer — Sri is an Exercise Physiologist, so the early-diabetes risk, the blood pressure, the knee that never healed properly all get programmed around instead of ignored — and you get coaching that fits the life you actually live.

Honest answers first
Can I lose weight on an Indian vegetarian diet?
Yes — it just needs deliberate protein work. Paneer, dal, curd, soya chunks and besan carry most vegetarian days, with the plate ratios flipped so protein leads and rice supports. We build the whole plan from food you already cook; nothing is banned.
Do you understand Indian food or will I get a chicken-and-broccoli plan?
Sri is Indian — the plans are built from dal, roti, sabzi, paneer and rice as the starting point, not as an afterthought. We publish our approach openly: read our guides on protein on an Indian diet and losing fat without giving up rice.

My sugar levels are creeping up. Can training really help?
Structured strength and conditioning is one of the strongest non-drug levers on blood glucose, and it matters especially for South Asians, where pre-diabetes arrives earlier. We program it specifically, track it, and re-test every 12 weeks alongside your GP's monitoring.
Do you coach in Telugu or Hindi?
Yes — Sri coaches in English, Telugu and Hindi. Train in whichever language you are most comfortable in, in person at Parramatta or online anywhere in Australia.
