What role should fitness play in our lives?

How do we move past clichéd tropes like crash diets and whey protein and have a more balanced relationship with our journey towards physical wellbeing? 

How do we overcome crises of motivation in our fitness journey? 

Is it possible to get addicted to activities like Soul Cycle and CrossFit, and what are the economic privileges associated with most forms of fitness-based activities today?

 Is it fair to judge people who don't work out? 

These are some of the questions that we dig into in this episode, and to help us make sense of it all, we're joined by Prashanti Ganesh and Sandeep Achanta, co-owners of Strength System, a fitness center and gym in Chennai. Sandeep and Prashanti's fitness journey is as interesting as their expertise (in their 'past' lives, they worked as a journalist and graphic designer, respectively), and their  philosophy is less about six-pack abs and more about being comfortable with your body, wherever that comfort comes from. They're also young entrepreneurs running a profitable business: they launched Strength System when they were only 25! We love how honest and intimate this conversation is, and we hope you think so too.
