About this episode

Raj Ganpath, a certified fitness and nutrition coach with 17+ years of experience, champions sustainable wellness as co-founder of The Quad (@thequad.in) and The Slow Burn Method. His bestselling book Simple, Not Easy (Westland, 2025), an Amazon India #1 bestseller, distills fitness fundamentals into 100 concise chapters, covering nutrition, strength training, sleep, and stress management. Rejecting restrictive trends, Ganpath emphasizes evidence-based principles, advocating simplicity through core habits over quick fixes. At The Quad, co-founded with Arvind Ashok, he’s trained 8,000+ students via in-person, virtual, and personalized coaching, blending global practices with Indian lifestyle contexts to build consistency and community. The Slow Burn Method, his signature approach, promotes gradual weight loss through manageable calorie adjustments (200-300 reduction) and accessible home workouts, prioritizing sustainability. A certified expert in biomechanics, Olympic lifting, and nutrition, Ganpath leverages platforms like Instagram to debunk fitness myths, offering jargon-free guidance aligned with his philosophy. His work underscores inclusivity, practicality, and long-term health—proving fitness is “simple, not easy.”
