Thus the journey began

Jagan & Uma, founder of FUME (Fit U & Me) have encountered many challenges in life.

Jagan comes from a small town in Odisha. He lost his mother due to obesity and a heart attack at the age of 13. After doing his studies at IIT, he started working in an IT company in Bangalore. As his corporate experience grew, he started accumulating a lot of weight due to lifestyle-related stress. At one point he was around 83 kgs. It was the time in January 2020, when he went for an Annual Health Check up. “When I saw my medical report, I was in for a shock. At the age of 39, I was found pre-diabetic with High Cholesterol, Uric acid and Fatty Liver issues. This was alarming for me because I never knew I will be suffering from so many lifestyle diseases at this age”. Recalls Jagan. He also lost his father 2 years back due to a heart attack. This was a major setback for him and his family.

Uma was suffering from postpartum obesity and was at 75 kgs in 2020.” After my second pregnancy, I was having health problems like Hypothyroid, Spondylitis, joint pain and Back pain. I was not able to lift my baby and was going through a lot of physical, mental and emotional pain. I was on tablets and it was creating a lot of side effects.”

Both of them decided to lose weight and get in shape. They tried many weight loss programs but could not follow them with a busy lifestyle. Meanwhile, they got themselves certified as international weight loss coaches. Around the same time, the Covid lockdown happened. When everyone was locked inside their house, Jagan & Uma decided to get fit without the help of any fancy fitness program. They curated a holistic lifestyle program which focuses on stress management, emotional well-being, and hormonal balance. With the program, they lost 36 kgs together. Not only they lost weight, they also got rid of their lifestyle diseases

Helping others to get fit

During their fitness journey both Jagan and Uma realised that the majority of the working professionals are struggling with weight issues and other ailments. To help society, they started giving free online workouts during covid time. Then they launched FUME as a start-up and made it a mission to help the maximum number of people. "Most of the professionals sit for long hours in the office and don't get time to exercise, which results in accumulated belly fat. We understand how problematic it can be. That's why we have designed special programs for our clients to lose weight", tells Jagan. Their determination and right strategy helped them to reach out to more than 10000 people and help them in their transformation within less than two years. Their aim is to help 10 lakh people in getting fit and live a healthy lifestyle

Standing apart from others

Since the beginning, they knew that they must do something different from what other fitness platforms are offering. According to Uma, "The USP of our program is that while most weight loss programs focus on a strict diet and exercise regimen, our program focuses on a holistic lifestyle. Weight loss is more of a mind game. We live in a stressful environment where our decisions are influenced by external factors. So we need to focus on various parameters such as stress management, goal setting, affirmations, habit formation, Nutrition and mobility. Our programs are tailored precisely as per a client's requirements." People liked their concept of holistic weight loss and as a result, their clients have got remarkably good transformations without restricting food or spending time doing difficult exercises.
