Based in Goa and serving clients across India, Saifullah Khan — known to many as @SAIFIT_15 — is a wellness coach whose philosophy blends discipline, mindfulness, and sustainability. With over half a decade of experience transforming lives, his approach to wellness goes far beyond physical fitness. A three-time National Gold medalist in martial arts, three-time State Gold medalist, and twotime Best Fighter of Goa, Saifullah’s background in sports has shaped his holistic understanding of health — one rooted in consistency, strength, and mental focus.
A Journey Sparked by Family Transformations
Saifullah’s journey into wellness began in his early school days. Despite being active in sports, he struggled with weight issues and a growing belly. What profoundly changed his perspective was witnessing his father’s remarkable transformation. Battling multiple health problems — from low energy and gastric issues to skin allergies — his father reversed his condition through a balanced approach involving nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle changes.
The second turning point came from his 80year-old grandmother, whose wellness journey at an advanced age deeply inspired him. These two transformations within his family became the catalyst for Saifullah’s mission — to help others reclaim control over their health and lead more fulfilling lives.
Redefining Wellness and Quality of Life
For Saifullah, wellness is not just about the length of life but the quality of it. Echoing the iconic Bollywood line, “Babu Moshay, Zindagi badi honi chahiye, lambi nahi” — he believes life should be great, not just long.
He emphasises that in today’s fast-paced world, people chase careers and money, often sidelining their health. “People work hard to earn in their 30s and 40s, only to spend that very money on health later,” he says. For him, good health is life’s truest wealth, enabling one to fully experience love, laughter, and purpose.
A Personalised and Sustainable Approach
Unlike one-size-fits-all fitness plans, Saifullah’s approach focuses on individualised, long-term well-being. His methodology revolves around Mind, Body, and Work-Life Balance, ensuring that every person’s journey is realistic, enjoyable, and sustainable.
He avoids rigid diet charts, preferring flexible routines that blend nutritional guidance and movement tailored to each client’s lifestyle. His goal is to help people make fitness a natural and permanent part of their daily life, not a temporary challenge.
How He Works with Clients
Saifullah begins by assessing each client’s current situation, goals, and health history. His clientele includes a diverse mix — from a 75year-old retired police officer in Mapusa aiming to lose weight, to homemakers, business professionals, and working individuals.
Through online coaching, he reaches people across India, offering live fitness sessions, personal consultations, and educational discussions on nutrition and healthy habits. This online setup also fosters a supportive community where people from varied backgrounds unite under one mission — to live healthier, more balanced lives.
Building the Right Mindset
According to Saifullah, the mindset forms the foundation of any transformation. “If the mind is stressed or unhappy, the body will resist progress,” he explains. His sessions place strong emphasis on emotional and mental wellness, allowing clients to connect, share experiences, and stay motivated through community success stories. This bond helps dissolve mental barriers and builds confidence, discipline, and resilience.
Merging Tradition with Modern Wellness
Saifullah integrates Ayurveda and Meditation into his programs, believing that traditional Indian wellness practices remain essential for human well-being. When paired with modern health techniques, these practices create a balanced framework for physical and emotional strength — one that honors both heritage and innovation.
Success Stories and Words of Wisdom
In his journey, Saifullah has also worked to debunk common misconceptions about health. He points out that many people delay action until illness strikes, relying on insurance policies rather than preventive care. Another myth he challenges is equating health solely with weight loss. True health, he stresses, lies in understanding body composition — the ratio of fat to muscle — rather than obsessing over numbers on a scale.
His final advice is simple yet profound: Get a coach (@SAIFIT_15) who can guide you through the right path. Stay active every day. Be mindful, loving, and kind — to yourself and your community.
Saifullah lives by the principle that 20% of health comes from physical activity and 80% from proper nutrition. Through his guidance, he continues to inspire countless individuals to view fitness not as a task but as a way of life — one that nourishes the body, strengthens the mind, and uplifts the soul.
