About Us

OUR STORY

This is how we started

Exercise for Life was incorporated in the Republic of Singapore on July 2017. The idea of setting up the movement including an Eco-System to Encourage Ordinary People especially those with weighty issues to Exercise was conceptualized a long time ago but materialized recently thru the efforts of its Founding Partners and Well-Wishers.

Many of us have the perception that having weight related issues or being Obese is the end of the Road. We lose our Self-Confidence and Self-Esteem and think that the World owes us a living. Alas, we are wrong, no-one owes us a Living and we owe it to ourselves to take care of our bodies and more importantly our life, i.e. its quality. Having weight issues or being obese, it’s like a marathon and does not happen overnight. It takes years of doing the wrong things – eating the wrong types of food, eating excessively like there is no tomorrow and more interesting not exercising because we do not have time.

The partners of the Exercise for Life, particularly, Sanjeev Gathani realized this and decided to embark on a journey that took him from being morbidly obese to a physically fit bloke. See below for comparison of his remarkable journey.

PHILOSOPHY

What we believe in

The philosophy behind this movement is to encourage and not discourage folks with weight or obesity related issues including other medical conditions, to Exercise their way to Life. The objective is Complete and not Compete. The rationale is to Start and Sustain and not give up and hence the core values of the Exercise for Life.

One of the partners of the Exercise for Life benefited tremendously from the encouragement and support that Society have him and thereafter decided to start this movement and help others benefit the same. To date, he has inspired 3 other individuals to start on this journey of transformation. Though it’s a small number, it’s a start and Every Baby Step Will Lead to the Goal of encouraging the Masses to Exercise for Life. Like the old saying goes:

Journey of Thousand Miles, begins with a Single Step and Sanjeev Gathani and Exercise for Life have taken that FIRST STEP.

After much encouragement from his surgeon and running buddy Anil Kumar Skula, did Sanjeev Gathani decide to submit his application for selection of Global Hero. Global Hero is an award that is given by Medtronic Corporation to those individuals who have benefited from medical technology and are still running. Despite having medical issues, these folks run as nothing stops them. A cooperative effort between Twin Cities in Motion and Medtronic Foundation, Global Heros is a first-of-its kind program that bring runners from around the world who benefited from medical technology to Minneapolis and St. Pau, Minnesota to rum in Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon events. A DIAGNOSIS DID NOT END THE RUN – IT ONLY MAKE IT STRONGER TO COMPELTE IT.
