Pushing the bar in the local fitness space, 75A Kynsey Road saw the opening of UFO Personal Training Studio with a promise of some of the best personal fitness training the city has to offer.
The brainchild of Himal Alahakoon, the team of personal trainers, each of who has at least eight years’ experience, is led by Raghvan Roshan, whose 20 years of experience as a leading personal trainer for VIPs in Colombo leads the team to be multi-faceted in their training regimes.
Alahakoon also took the opportunity to introduce the Brand Ambassador for UFO, multi-award winning actress Yashodha Wimaladharma, who stated that she’s been working out with Raghvan for a long time.
From core training to fitness for all ages, pre-natal training to assist expectant women, sport training for school and collegiate sports and specialised personal training to meet specific goals, UFO’s customised training formulae focus on weight loss, strength building, posture, flexibility, stability, balance and healthier lifestyles.
Alahakoon who was inspired to launch UFO due to every gym he tried being crowded and not having sufficient personal time with a trainer, says: “The UFO environment is peaceful and comfortable for both client and trainer; this is the only way to maximise results because it has made a massive difference to me in the past four years since I began having a personal trainer. Our competitive edge at UFO is that each personal training program is individualised and given its smaller more intimate setting, UFO is able to give our clients maximum results. Smaller private studios are now catching on the world over, as most clients feel that by gaining an extra level of personalisation in that quieter setting, fitness goals are achieved better with maximum fitness levels for individual bodies.”
Equipped with the latest cardio and weight training equipment, UFO’s Head Fitness Trainer Raghvan is the Cross-Fit Consultant for the Sri Lanka Commando Regiment, Sri Lanka Military Academy, CR&FC Tennis Academy and HSC Basketball teams, while also functioning as Fitness Coach for leading schools in Colombo including St. Peter’s College, St. Joseph’s College and Holy Family Convent.
