How it all began
Norbert’s personal transformation and achievements in the field of fitness guided him towards providing for the people of Goa what they lacked – a gym set-up conducive to achieving results by way of scientific guidelines. From a lanky child to a muscled adolescent, Norbert worked on himself as he was quickly chosen to represent his University and State at national athletic competitions. This was his foray into the little explored fitness domain of the time. The spark became a blaze as Norbert realized his true calling – steering individuals towards disease and disorder-preventive exercise as opposed to pure ‘body building’.
Thus was born Norbert’s Fitness Studio in 2008 – one gym located in Goa’s capital, Panaji, quickly expanding to 8 branches.
Mission
“Shaping Lives…Not Just Bodies”
A statement…an ideology…a belief! The mission of Norbert’s Fitness Studio is dual-edged:
Vision
“Expand-Execute-Empower”
Norbert’s vision for Norbert’s Fitness Studio stems from his deep-seated passion for fitness and his dream to impress upon every resident of the State the overpowering effects of preventive healthcare.
In an endeavour to encourage entrepreneurs, Norbert’s Fitness Studio also offers collaborative help by way of technical, financial, and managerial guidance to those seeking to successfully run a gym of their own.
