Once a Certified Personal Trainer, Manny started his own gym in 2016 - Keystone Fitness Club.

He says that there are not many Indian-origin people in health and fitness business.

This further led Manny to collaborate with others and form Australian Indian Fitness Association (AIFA).

Manny is now the President of AIFA and helps out the community to get healthy and fit.

He says it is “scary at times but my passion to help others overcome all the barriers keep me driving towards my goal and priorities.”
