Gary Sethi - a household name for fitness fanatics

Exclusive from AsiansUK.com - The UK Asian Social Hub!

Asians UK would like you to meet...

Trailblazer and Motivational Role Model - Gary Sethi.

 

Gary Sethi
Motivating since 2002

  

He is breaking all stereotypes and is on a journey to inspire South Asians Globally. I believe the material and feature would be well suited to your organisation. Gary Sethi has a very good following amongst youths to middle aged men/women Internationally and has recently risen in popularity at a rapid pace. He is also Director of a new International Community Forum which will be a place for South-Asians to inspire, discuss and educate on issues concerning health, fitness, lifestyle, diets, and social awareness. Also currently working with the British Sikh Doctors Organisation (UK) in producing documentaries tackling taboo issues for example; Alcoholism, Contraception etc all from a South-Asian Perspective. The forum will be called; GetSerious Project and will be launching in a few weeks.

 

Gary Sethi, is a South Asian who has now become a household name for fitness fanatics world-wide. At the age of 19 his transformation took place through a series of "awakening" events that sparked the desire to start respecting his body as a temple, and commence a spiritual journey for his mind, body and soul. Gary has come along way since his journey started. He is now on the path to helping other South Asians to achieve their goals in creating a healthy body image for themselves through the means of personal fitness consultations, counselling and personal training but still maintaining the balance of living a religious and cultural lifestyle.

Gary is the Director of the "GetSerious Project" which is the first International health and Awareness forum for the South Asian Community. He is working with a team of like-minded professionals from various countries intending to inspire South Asians globally through motivational health/ cultural awareness articles, blogs, documentaries, and personal experiences using positive Media. The project is long term and will encourage South Asians to take pride in their cultural backgrounds by relating specific messages through the forum. The GetSerious Project team will be exposing and tackling taboo issues through true life experiences and engaging with the community to take a positive and sensible approach to such issues. The project ethos is simple and clear; To collectively set goals by evolving the way we think and successfully enriching our minds by understanding our Cultural roots In order to Identify, Observe, and Understand Health and Social issues amongst South-Asians.

It is this persistent hard work that has encouraged the South Asian community to recognise Gary Sethi and present him with "Canadian Youth of the Year Award 2011" and honouring "Charter of Rights and Freedoms Plaque" during Canada Day festivities. There are many attributes to Gary Sethi - he is a Motivational Role Model, Realist and Fitness Trailblazer with a burning passion to help the youth today in order to live a better future.

 

His motto in life is simple; "Believe to Achieve"
