Many people, including celebrities, are very concerned about fitness these days. But, about 10 years ago, “Fitness…? What is that?” Malayalees were the ones asking. It was at that time that a young man named Aeneas Antony had the courage to choose fitness as a career. Despite the teasing from his country and family, Ainous refused to give up his passion. Ainus felt the joy of conquering the world when he finally achieved that goal.
Today, Ainas Antony is a fitness trainer for many inside and outside the country. Ainez is a star among celebrities. Superstar Mohanlal, Jayasuriya, Vishnu Unnikrishnan, Vipin George and MG Sreekumar have been trained by Aines.
Introduction to Fitness Trainer
He was active in sports since childhood. If you look at it 10 years ago, there was no career called fitness here. Schools have PT sir. I wanted to be like that. PT sir in most schools may not be physically fit. I wanted to get the kids I was teaching and coaching fit. As I grew up, I started learning more about fitness. Realized that fitness has a bright future here. He was confident that he could make fitness a profession. I saw it not as a job, but as my passion. I found joy in coaching someone and watching them change. After that, fitness was chosen as a career.
I wanted to become a fitness trainer
Many people wonder what they will do after college. My father is a policeman so he is fit. But due to busy work, I don’t get time to workout. I have seen many people like that. I can’t stop working out. So I went looking for a job that gave importance to fitness. Nothing was right. I came to know about fitness trainer when I started learning more about it. More people were seen in foreign countries like the US. There are famous fitness trainers who earn between 10 lakhs and 5 lakhs per month. I learned that there are people who have made it a career as a fitness trainer even 10 years ago. I was sure that this career would grow in India in future as well. For that I focused more on fitness. We had the confidence that if we have passion we can succeed in the field we do. That is how he came to this field.
The difficulties faced
Today I am training people in every continent and every country. Apart from China and Greenland, people are being trained online and offline in many countries like Australia, UK, Canada, France and Germany. But many difficulties have been overcome to get to where we are today.
10 years ago I chose this as a career and went to Bombay first. At that time, people were not interested in fitness in Kerala. Many famous gyms in Bombay have asked me if I can get an internship to become a trainer. There are famous gym brands that I’m not good at. One thing was decided that day. Does not work under a gym or fitness club. There was a saying that my name will be my brand.
When you first say that you are a trainer, people ask what kind of training and what is your job. Because they don’t know about it. It was a time to ask if this was a job. There was opposition at home too. Like all Malayali families, my son insisted on getting a government job. But I wasn’t ready to give up. Because this is my life. When I started to venture into the profession of fitness trainer, my family also came to believe.
Many people in my family also made fun of me. But the children of many of the relatives who were teased then want to become trainers like me.
Getting to know Mohanlal
I was a gym trainer in a five star hotel in Kochi. I will train many people from abroad who come there. A famous businessman of Kerala also came there. I trained him. In 6 months he has changed a lot. He is the one who says that he can introduce Laleton. I thought he was just lying. But I was told to come one day and train Laleton. It was during the movie Lucifer. This is the first time that a celebrity is being trained. That too Mohanlal. At first there was tension but slowly it changed.
About Mohanlal’s workout
Laletan is a good fit and flexible. He is a person who does not hesitate to do anything. It is enough for us to say one thing. Will do the same. He is always active. He is a positive thinker. No matter how down we are, if we talk to Laleton for five minutes, everything will change and be okay. He has such positive energy. Nothing hesitates. If you are told to do an exercise 10 times, try to do 12 times. Any exercise will do. Good knowledge about all exercises. Always find time for a workout. Set aside at least 40 minutes for exercise every day. He never stops exercising even when he is abroad. Text me and tell me things.
Mohanlal’s diet
Laletan is a food lover. He does not like to control anything. Mine is the you-can-eat-anything-to-get-fit way. But just watch the quantity. Lalettan knows how to control the amount of food. Do not overdo anything. Eat less of your favorite food. So he does not need a diet. Even on shooting sets, Lalettan eats only the amount he needs. Never overdose. A glutton is someone who only eats what he likes.
Mohanlal’s health secret
Laletan is very health conscious. There is a clear understanding of what to eat and what not to eat. That is the health secret of Laleton. Everything in a day, from what to eat at this time, what time to eat, how long to sleep, etc. He doesn’t have a lifestyle like eat when he feels like it, sleep when he feels like it. There is good discipline in everything. That’s why he can work and workout. That is why it is so energetic. Sometimes work out with me. He works out with the same energy as me.
Malayali’s attitude towards fitness
Malayalis are changing when it comes to fitness. However, many people still don’t know much about exercise. People still ask me if going to the gym will make them lose weight or cause hair loss. A few more things are changing now. Celebrities also play an important role in it. With Prithviraj, Mohanlal, Tovino Thomas etc. talking more about exercise, many have changed. People have come to feel that physical and health benefits of exercise are good for the body. With actors and actresses paying more attention to fitness, there is a further change among the youth.
Fitness Tips by Aeneas Antony
I will exercise for 1-2 hours a day. 30 minutes will do on busy days. Many of us exercise only for special occasions like weddings or when the doctor tells us to lose weight. As soon as we get up in the morning, we brush our teeth, take a bath and eat. From my point of view, fitness is when you can turn exercise into a daily routine. We should not go after exercise when we have a health problem. Exercise should be practiced from a young age, even if it is a child. I don’t smoke or drink alcohol. I’m not interested in it because I care about fitness. No matter what anyone says, I have never tried it. That is what the current generation needs. Making fitness a part of life can change drinking, smoking and drug use among young people.
Awareness about fitness
Young people get addicted to drugs because they don’t give importance to sports or fitness. They are not taught much about it in schools. Everything else will be taught to children. Children should be educated about fitness, exercise and health. If they are taught at the school level about the dangers of smoking, alcohol and drugs in life and how they affect their health, they will not use them. There is no awareness about it in schools. If this system changes, this will decrease
