I started my fitness journey around 2 years ago when I want to Bali for the first time. At that point I had been doing home workouts and surfing in LA for 1 year. The biggest issue I had was that my back would hurt a lot after doing my workouts sometimes. Curiously, the pain would disappear when I went surfing.
I had been a Taekwondo player as a child and I had suffered a lot of lower back injuries. In the beginning of 2021 I also suffered from a herniated disc because of an accident which left me unable to walk for a week. After that accident I would regularly suffer from sciatica and lower back pain.
In 2022 I went to Bali for the first time and ended up at Body Factory in Canggu which had an ice bath, sauna and jacuzzi. I had read about the benefits of these recovery tools extensively but I had never tried them before. The first time in the ice bath was brutal but the minute I got out I felt a rush of happiness. I later found out it was because of increased dopamine in my brain because of the cold.
In 2023 I went to Canggu for a whole month and got a one month membership at Body Factory. This was the first time I regularly tried ice baths and saunas for an extended period. The most noticeable differences I found in my body were that my lower back pain was gone a few days after I started my routine. My gut inflammation was an all time low during my time in Bali – I had a completely flat tummy. And I was also so happy and calm after I came back from Body Factory.
In India there are no such fitness places or recovery clubs that offer these services which makes me very sad. I know that if I could see the benefits of being able to access such services in just one month then there must be other people who could too. That is why I embarked on my mission to build a recovery club in India with ice baths, saunas and jacuzzis. I hope that people appreciate these tools and benefit from them as much as I was able to.
