Name: Preeya Gupta

What city were you born in?  Blackpool, England

What do you do when you’re not training at Athletic Lab (occupation, hobbies, etc)?
When I’m not training…I am an eye surgeon by day, busy mom of 2 girls at night, and an associate professor who teaches and works with international companies in ophthalmology. My hobbies are golf and tennis, and I do love nice cars, travel, and wine.

What’s your favorite exercise? Least favorite?
Bulgarian split squat —Maybe these are actually the same because I try to make my least favorite things eventually my favorite.

What do you feel has been your greatest accomplishment since you started training? What motivates you in your training?
Most definitely my greatest accomplishment has been embracing the value and challenge of strength training. When I started at Athletic Lab 14 months ago I had never picked up a bar or a plate before.  Through some awesome coaches I am now a happy and confident athlete. I have better posture, hit the golf ball further, and love having a community of like minded people to workout with!
