When we talk or even think about the word fitness, the instant image that crosses our mind is of a young girl or boy. But what if you watch a 65-year-old grandmother lifting weights and working out in the exact way a young woman does? Well, this is not a made-up story, but the story of a grandmother who owns the title of Gujarat’s ‘Fittest’.
Renu Sidhu, an ordinary woman and mother of three, doesn’t live an ordinary life. With her life motto of discipline, she encourages herself to show up every day and make herself extraordinary.
Renu Sidhu isn’t just a 65-year-old fit grandmother who walks the extra mile, but she is also lifting dumbbells, doing extremely tough gym activities like the pec deck machine, cable face pulls, and even mountain climbing on a Bosu ball.
Renu has also shared her journey with people around the world. She has started a social media page where she shares exceptional gym and exercise training videos, inspiring thousands of women.
This woman from Ahmedabad has not only joined the gym and exercised, but she also built a gym. With children and household responsibilities, she did not stop there but made her own identity. At the age of 54, she became a gym entrepreneur and owned a gym named Samurai Fitness.
Not only that, she also won a gold medal in women’s powerlifting in the year 2017. She even won the battle of Fitness Woman of Gujarat in the year 2019 and earned the title of Gujarat’s Fittest. The story does not end here; She became the first runner-up in the Mrs. Galaxy Queen Classic (2019). Not only that, this 65-year-old grandmother also became an NSDC-certified fitness trainer in 2021.
She can beat any young woman even at the age of 65. This is not a miracle, but consistency and discipline. Renu shared her thoughts, stating that fitness isn’t a hobby; it’s a lifestyle dictated by discipline. She also stated, “Beauty is not in a woman’s face, it is the light in her heart.”
At a time when everything is quick and everybody wants results the next day, Renu gives the best example of showing up every day with consistency. As her social media reel caption says: “I am 65, and I’m showing up every day because consistency and discipline are the two main factors that make me fit even at 65. If I can do it, then you all can too!”
