Celebrity Fitness Coach Shares Why Weight Loss Needs More Than Just Exercise
Last Updated: Celebrity fitness coach Vinod Channa revealed why some people are unable to lose weight despite working out regularly in the gym. The answer lies in your diet. Often times people have noticed that they are sweating it out in the gym but they are unable to lose weight. This struggle fills them with hoplessness and often many quit their weight loss journey at this exact point. In a recent post, celebrity fitness coach Vinod Channa has shed light on why some people are not able to shed a few kilos despite exercising regularly in the gym. Taking to his Instagram, Vinod Channa shared a video where he talked about why some people struggle to lose weight. He talked about how nutrition also plays a key role and people must also pay a close attention to what they eat as they embark on a weight loss journey. He noted how exercise is just one of the building blocks towards leading a fit lifestyle. View this post on Instagram Vinod said, 'Many people often wonder why they're not able to lose weight even though they go to the gym regularly." He continued, 'Exercise and nutrition need to go hand in hand. Only then will you see real results." He emphasised that if fat loss is your primary objective, a well-designed diet plan can be incredibly effective on its own. However, building muscle requires a more layered and consistent approach. He mentioned that muscle gain isn't just about eating more, it's about eating smart and training smart. Along with a balanced diet, an intense, progressive workout routine is crucial. He explained, 'To build muscle, you need proper nutrition along with a good, intense, and progressive workout plan. Your diet must include a balanced amount of protein, carbohydrates, fibre and other essential nutrients to ensure recovery and growth." He also reminded fitness enthusiasts that meaningful results take time. 'You may start seeing results in 3 to 4 months, but remember, muscle gain is a slow process. On average, you can only gain around 3 kg of muscle in a year. It's not magic," he explained. True muscle development is a slow, steady process which requires commitment. Vinod encouraged his followers to stay consistent and patient, reiterating that real, lasting transformation comes not from quick fixes but from years of dedicated effort and discipline. Over the years, the fitness coach has worked with some of the leading names in the industry, such as Nita Ambani, Anant Ambani, John Abraham, and Riteish Deshmukh, to name a few.

Fees of Anant Ambani's ex fitness coach and Nita Ambani's current fitness trainer revealed, he charges Rs..., name is... In the Indian film industry, stars are often idolised by fans. A similar admiration extends to Nita Ambani, wife of Mukesh Ambani, who remains remarkably fit and radiant at 60. Behind her impressive physique is celebrity fitness trainer Vinod Channa, known for emphasising the importance of self-care. But have you ever wondered how much he charges per sessions? One of the most prominent celebrity fitness trainers, Vinod Channa has trained the likes of John Abraham, Ritesh Deshmukh, Shilpa Shetty, Harshvardhan Rane and more. He has even mentored Mukesh Ambani and Nita Ambani's son, Anant Ambani, as well as, Kumar Mangalam Birla and his daughter and singer Ananya Birla. Vinod Channa, who is currently training Nita Ambani, opened up about his fees structure. While speaking to BollywoodShaadis, he admitted that in the beginning, his charges were modest. However, as he began training celebrity clients, his availability became limited. He said, 'If I am travelling 3 hours, then I charge 3 hours' distance. When people come to my gym, I charge Rs. 1.5 lakh for 12 sessions, and if I go to the people, I take Rs. 2-2.5 lakh, for which people call me full day, then I charge lakhs per day. People stay near my gym just for weight loss. They booked me for 6 days. When I travel for people, it is lakhs per day. If I go and train people at home, I charge according to time.' Vinod has done various jobs, including housekeeping and security guard. As someone who was undernourished and skipped meals often, he decided to work on his body and got enrolled in a gym. He has now over 15 years of professional bodybuilding experience and is certified by the American Sports and Fitness Association.

Vinod regularly posts expert advice on his Instagram, and his previous blog post on losing belly fat has also come up again, providing advice for beginners beginning their change. But what will surprise you is Vinod Channa's whopping fees. Vinod Channa's charges allegedly range from ₹1.5 lakh to ₹5 lakh monthly. He charges approximately 1.5 lakhs for 12 sessions a month and around 3.5 lakhs to 5 lakhs for the home session. His success demonstrates one thing: with the right guidance, absolute discipline, and the proper approach, no change is impossible — celebrity or not.
