With 237+ corporate fitness centres under the brand name Medifit and about 89+ centres (in India) & 33+ centres (in GCC countries) under the brand name 'Chisel'(a franchise-based business model). The company is swaying towards newer milestones each passing day. As a first-generation fitness entrepreneur, Satya has never rested on her laurels, and after becoming a pioneer in the corporate fitness market, she is now confident of capturing the growing B2C fitness market in India, with her stand-alone gym brand ‘Chisel’.

More than anything, Satya’s extensive experience in the fitness domain and her vision to make ‘Chisel’ India’s preferred destination for a new age, holistic fitness, has even encouraged her to venture into newer dimensions such as Health Foods and exclusive online and offline Fitness Academy. And the husband-wife duo aims to take B2C fitness in India to the next level, and brand ‘Chisel’ has already created a dent in the space by partnering with some of the best names from the global fitness market, such as Les Mills, Fix My Nutrition, Life Fitness, Exer Gaming, and Hydro Fitness.

They are further looking at foraying to ASEAN and SAARC countries.

In the pipeline, the company offers a blend of traditional fitness programs with a new age modern fitness programs, where they have a new indigenous food chain which specializes in healthy meals with super foods from the brand ‘Fix My Nutrition’ for fitness conscious people.

The Agenda - Making India Fit by Building a Vibrant Ecosystem for all
With the main motive to make India fit, Mrs. Satya Sinha says “I have always tried to visualize a goal which is of universal importance. Having worked under Industrial Legend Mr. Ratan Tata for quite some time at International Tech Park, Bangalore, it was clear to inculcate entrepreneurial values. In fact, the best truth that I have discovered is ‘When mind, body, and soul are in perfect harmony, you notice that the human beings are at their best.”

Also, when in sync, the fittest employee in the sense can contribute the best for his company and as well bring in the best to his family. And Chisel, taking it much farther is uniting a nation with such people. So that, they can always stay inspired, bring positivity, breed good health, wellness, growth, and concentrate on global development. Most importantly, this brings peace and harmony in the Universe.
Widening horizons, Dr. King Moohan, Chief Business Officer – Brand Chisel, says “From the business point of view, we notice that any business which is in demand for humans for their day-to-day living always spells success. Fitness as an aspect is just like breathing. And, breathing is always an integral part of your very existence itself. So, we are at the right space offering the right service, and we at Chisel help our employees, clients,& customers enjoy the benefits to the fullest!”

Further emphasizing on the expansion of franchise businesses under the brand name ‘Chisel’,and the role each and every employee plays in the organization, Mr. Sounak Bhow mick, National Marketing Head – Brand Chisel, says “Our job as marketers are to understand how the customer wants to buy, and we help them to do so. In the fitness industry, unless you show them the right path, the journey will not happen and the trust will not come. We as a team ensure, we connect to people, and interact with them in a way that leaves them better than we found them.”

Finally, Satya stating the importance of fitness in this country exuberates “Fitness Industry has just achieved only 3 percent of the requirement of the nation as of now. We need more professional fitness centres to meet that national dream of 100 Olympic medals. If fitness is inculcated and made it compulsory at a school level, we can see a lot opportunity to integrate it reach out to more people.”
