It all started when Shams Ishtiaque Rahman finished his graduation from Stony Brook University in America and moved back to Dhaka,Bangladesh. Maintaining a regular workout session while he was abroad made him take notice of how there was a lack of adequate and well-knowledged trainers in Bangladesh. That is when the idea was born of creating one of the largest fitness group on Facebook called "Bangladesh Fitness Society." The idea of bringing all the fitness enthusiasts in one platform pushed this page to expand even further that helped to reach people all over the country. Soon the page started to receive so many messages asking about health, fitness and which supplements to take to reach their desired goal. Ishtiaque himself started the journey alone to write weekly articles regarding fitness and posting his own transformation pictures to inspire the audience on the page. Overtime people started to take notice of his ambition and the change he brought to his own lifestyle inspired close to 10,000 members to take part in the Bangladesh Fitness Society group. Ishtiaque believes in team work which is why the page has evolved into something bigger than what he imagined when he initially started out. Trainers, nutritionists and fitness enthusiasts are all in one platform working together to bring change for the better. When asked about his favorite quote, he replied "The most dangerous risk of all is the risk of spending your life not doing what you want on the bet that you can buy yourself the freedom to do it later."(Collected) He continued saying that the fear of being average motivates him to pursue his dream to bring a change in the fitness world in Bangladesh. Currently, he is one of the owners of the online store partnered with Mahmud Safat Khan which supplies supplements needed for the workout. Ishtiaque and Khan have future endeavor in mind that includes an online app which will be very beneficial to provide proper information on meal planning and to figure out which supplement is needed customized to your own body type. If you are ready to be a part of the movement that Ishtiaque has started with 9,000+ fitness enthusiasts then definitely join the page linked below.
