Simarjeet, a self-confessed introverted and reserved person, finds peace and tranquillity on the open road. Biking is his therapy, and he considers the rhythmic hum of the engine as his sanctuary. Even when he is on the road, he makes sure to carve out time for a workout. Lifting weights in the gym is his way of maintaining balance and vitality.

Simarjeet's journey has seen remarkable transformations - from shedding weight, dropping from 120kgs to 80kgs, to competing in powerlifting, and finally venturing into the world of YouTube with his channel.
