A &#8217;round-the-clock mother of three&#8217;, she didn&#8217;t just join a gym \u2014 she built one. At 54, she became a gym entrepreneur with Samurai Fitness in Ahmedabad.<\/p>\n<p class=\"content \">Her accolades are a testament to her grit: she is a gold medalist in female powerlifting (2017), she even won &#8216;Battle of the Fittest Woman of Gujarat&#8217; (2019), and was the first runner-up of Mrs Galaxy Queen Classic (2019). Renu also shared that she is an NSDC-certified fitness trainer (2021).<\/p>\n<p class=\"content \">Renu follows a simple philosophy: discipline over motivation. For her, fitness isn&#8217;t a hobby; it\u2019s a lifestyle dictated by discipline. She told HT Lifestyle in a recent interaction, &#8220;Fitness doesn&#8217;t come from intermittent bursts of motivation, but from deliberate daily practice and choices that no one sees.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"content \">Note to readers: This report is based on user-generated content from social media.
