Fitness icon & entrepreneur Krishna Shroff has built a reputation as one of the fitness industry's most dedicated and disciplined personalities, with her daily training videos from her MMA Matrix Gym inspiring countless netizens to push their own limits. But in a refreshingly candid moment, Krishna took to her social media, to pull back the curtain on how important 'being consistent' is and what it really looks like. And it's not always about being perfect or pushing hard every single day. Addressing the perception that her routine is all about relentless discipline and peak performance, Krishna shared, "People see my training videos from MMA Matrix Gym every day. They think it's discipline, perfect routines, and pushing hard every single day. But honestly, the people who stay in this game long term, they're not always pushing to be the best. In fact, many times, they're just learning how to bounce back." Her POV offered a perspective that challenges the "all or nothing" mentality often associated with and glorified in fitness culture.
Referencing insights from a podcast she'd recently listened to, Krishna emphasized that true strength isn't about achieving perfection. It is built through showing up, even on the days when you don't feel your best. "And as someone who loves to follow routines and train super hard, I realize sometimes it's okay to give myself one of those slower days without the guilt. Even if I don't feel it 100%, I make sure to still move, feel my body right, and definitely protect my headspace. It's not perfect, but at least it's consistent, and that's honestly what builds real strength," she shared. Her words brough to the forefront an often-overlooked aspect of wellness, that consistency doesn't mean operating at one's full capacity every day, but rather committing too move everyday, self-awareness, and mental health even when motivation lacks.
Krishna's message is particularly powerful because it comes from someone who embodies physical excellence and mental well-being in equal measure. By normalizing slower days and emphasizing the importance of protecting one's headspace, she's offering a more sustainable and compassionate approach to fitness. Her honesty about learning to bounce back, rather than always striving to be the best, is a reminder that real strength isn't just physical, it's the mental resilience to keep showing up for yourself, even imperfectly.
