Losing Your Father, Learning from Unhealthy Mistakes, and Building Real Fitness Momentum with Ravi Teja Dhanalakota

Ravi Teja Dhanalakota joins coach Chase Barron to unpack his lifelong journey with health and fitness. After years of trial and error, Ravi shares his honest insights on burning fat, building muscle, and moving better. Together, we expose some of the biggest mistakes folks make while transforming their bodies.

More importantly, we go beyond the science to talk about the mental game. This is where it gets personal, relatable, and real. In this humble conversation, we cover many topics including: building awareness around health, reaching rock bottom, deciding to change, using the word “fat” to describe people, setting appropriate goals, dialing in your fitness fundamentals, eating well, training right, building momentum, losing a family member, recovering from emotional turmoil, and more.

"Everything that I am today, is because of my parents' hard work and sacrifices. I am a mechanical engineer by profession, trying to understand the mechanics of my body and man! does it surprise me every time that I think is not possible! My dad is still the biggest force driving me from heaven to become successful, fit, and healthy. I wish my fitness journey started a year early than it did; so that my dad could have seen me in a better, healthy shape and felt my muscles pop out. I will always make you proud, dad! I miss you!" - Ravi   

Guest Ravi Teja Dhanalakota, 27, grew up in Vijayawada, India and now lives in Seattle, WA. He moved to the USA to finish his education as a mechanical engineer. Find him on Instagram:
