About me

 

Thank you for all stopping by! My name is Marisha Gupta and I am the sole owner of MGupta Fitness! The creation of this business actually has a cool story.

 

I have always been involved in sports and after I stopped playing sports I needed to stay in shape. From there on, I have always made fitness part of my day to day life. But opening my own business wasn't something I envisioned for myseslf till possibly later in life. I graduated from IUPUI(go Hoosiers) with a BS in Sports Management. I started out majoring in Excercise Science as that always interested me the most, exercising and how the body moves. It wasn't until I was two years in that I realized I really loved sports and the business aspect of sports. Still loving everything about fitness, I decided to switch to Sports Management as I thought I would have better success getting a job(yeah right). I graduated, and wanted to start studying for the LSATS to pursue a law degree in Sports Law and hopefully work my way up to being a sports agent. I studied, studied, and studied some more and did just okay on the test. And after taking the test and talking to some fellow law students now lawyers, I realized law school was just not for me. Frustrated, I wasn't sure where to go from there.

 

 I started applying for jobs. Mainly sports jobs. Which if you're smart you know that industry isn't what you know, it is who you know. So with no luck there, I got a job as a sales assistant for Lamar Advertising. My thoughts on this were "well at least I can get some experience on paper, work my way up, and maybe finally land a job with a sports team in the future."

 

Then two weeks in my world came to an abrupt halt. My mom had passed away. Growing up life gave me my daily challenges, and I overcame each and every one of them. My mom passing was one of the hardest, and it changed how I looked at the world, how I looked at everything. Going back to work and trying to adjust to my new reality was hard. Sitting day to day at a desk, staring into a computer, for 8 hours a day on the west side of Indianapolis was not how I wanted to live my life. It may be for some people, but it is not for me. To me, life should be enjoyed. You should wake up living that day to the fullest. The day my mom passed was the day that I learned life is too short to not fulfill your dreams. You never know when your time is going to be up. I didn't want to wake up in 20 years and realize I am doing the exact same thing, and still not being fulfilled, let alone happy.

 

From that day forward, I decided to turn my dream into a reality;opening a business. I have such a strong passion for health and fitness, why not help others achieve their goals? Why  not help everyone love themselves inside AND out? And so, MGupta Fitness was born! And the rest is history.

 

Oh and if you all are interested, I was born in Carmel, Indiana. I currently reside in Indianapolis. I am a 28 year old, half Indian/half Polish, sarcastic, athletic, young human. I love to travel the world. I like to pick heavy stuff up and put it back down. I enjoy people. But I really enjoy obsessing over my Doberman, Mac while cuddling on the couch watching Vampire Diaries.

 

I am also really funny, you should hear one of my jokes.
