BESTOWFITNESS ACADEMYBESTOW FITNESS ACADEMY / ABOUT US
Built on a belief that fitness professionals deserve an education as ambitious as they are.
THE STORY BEHIND BFA
Bestow Fitness Academy began with a vision to strengthen the trainer community.
Amol Kyatam and Makarand Kalburgee brought together their experience in training and academy management to launch BFA in 2019.
Their approach brings exercise science, practical coaching and professional development into the same learning journey, with input from sports science, physiotherapy and nutrition professionals.
MEET THE FOUNDERS
From the training floor to the classroom.
Amol began working as a gym trainer in 2004. His own journey in fitness shaped a commitment to helping other trainers develop stronger knowledge, skills and confidence.
Recognising the need for more rounded trainer education, he worked with specialists to bring together scientific learning and the realities of coaching. That belief continues to sit at the heart of Bestow’s purpose.
Turning a shared vision into an academy.
With experience in academy and gym management, Makarand joined his childhood friend Amol to create an educational platform for the trainer community.
His work in marketing, management and brand building helped bring the team and its curriculum together. Their shared vision became Bestow Fitness Academy in 2019.
