Due to lack of funds, in the ground breaking stages of his dream, he provided his services for free at times just to make sure that potential clients realise his value. “ A couple of individuals approached me with an attempt to recruit me into their won organisations.  But I resisted because my aspiration was to establish a gym with equal type of training.  A facility where everyone could get an opportunity to work out to and curb some of the deadly health diseases,” he said.
