Michael Prasad, a former high jumper and basketball player from Suva, has made a bold career shift from banking to fitness. After spending years working for the Bank South Pacific, he decided to pursue his passion for health and fitness, resigning in 2019 to train others. His dedication is evident in his decision to open Evolve Fitness Gym, which just celebrated its third week of operation at Raojibhai Patel Street in Suva.
Prasad’s journey began when he started training clients at Metro Gym in Suva. Recognizing the need for a more personal and exclusive training environment, he opened a small studio for four years. His vision for Evolve Fitness Gym is to create a premium experience while maintaining an intimate atmosphere, with training groups limited to eight people to ensure focused attention.
The new gym boasts an impressive array of 41 specialized fitness machines, including unique items not available in other gyms. Prasad aims not only to provide state-of-the-art equipment but also to foster a community of supportive gym members. He envisions expanding the gym’s offerings with additional classes aimed at various fitness levels, such as yoga for beginners.
Evolve Fitness Gym is accessible to everyone, welcoming anyone interested in a fresh approach to fitness. Prasad focuses on a flexible pricing model with options for weekly, monthly, and extended memberships, making fitness more affordable. He also considers future corporate partnerships, recognizing the shift towards a hybrid wellness approach among his clients.
Prasad’s uplifting tagline, “live your fullest,” encourages individuals to maintain a healthy balance in their lives. He emphasizes that working out does not mean strict dietary restrictions, allowing space for enjoyment and relaxation without stress.
With a growing interest in fitness and wellness in Fiji, Prasad’s innovative approach and commitment to community building are sure to resonate with many as he continues to make his mark in the fitness industry. His journey serves as an inspiration for others to pursue their passions and find fulfilling careers while promoting a healthier lifestyle.
