In a quiet corner of Bavdhan, Pune, a fitness revolution is quietly gaining momentum. It’s not just about dumbbells or treadmills — it’s about people, purpose, and transformation. At the heart of this movement is Kiran Prakash Kamble, a marketing professional turned fitness entrepreneur, and his ever-supportive aunt, Kalawati Dongare, a woman who brings unmatched grit and grounding to the business.
Together, they’ve built The Kiro Fitness — a one-of-a-kind wellness destination that’s empowering hundreds to live healthier, stronger, and more confident lives.
The Spark That Lit the Flame
For Kiran, the idea of starting a fitness venture wasn’t just about capitalizing on a growing industry. It was personal. Years of a sedentary lifestyle led him to a serious health scare — a wake-up call that made him rethink everything.
“I realized how disconnected I was from my own health. Fitness literally saved me,” he shares.
That powerful realization gave birth to The Kiro Fitness — a space that promised not just physical workouts, but complete wellness. With his MBA in Marketing from Symbiosis and a background in hospitality, Kiran brought the structure, while Kalawati Dongare, with a humble 10th-grade education but a heart full of resilience, brought the soul.
More Than a Gym — It’s a Lifestyle Hub
Unlike typical commercial gyms that focus only on equipment, Kiro Fitness offers a well-rounded approach. Their space blends:
🧘♀️ Yoga sessions for mental peace
🏊♂️ Swimming programs for all ages
💪 CrossFit and strength training for functional fitness
🧑🏫 Personal training customized to individual needs
This one-roof wellness model has become a game-changer in Pune’s fitness landscape.
Starting Small, Dreaming Big
The journey was never easy. With limited funds, no flashy endorsements, and no big-name investors, building trust among clients was the first challenge.
“People didn’t believe that a local gym could offer high-quality training,” says Kiran.
Then came the pandemic. COVID-19 threatened to derail everything. But instead of backing down, The Kiro Fitness pivoted. They launched virtual classes, began community immunity-boosting programs, and doubled down on their mission to keep people healthy at home.
1,000+ Lives Transformed — And Counting
Today, The Kiro Fitness proudly boasts:
✔️ Over 1,000+ client transformations in just three years
✔️ A 5-star Google rating backed by genuine success stories
✔️ Special programs for kids, working professionals, and senior citizens
✔️ Regular free fitness camps and community health drives
But what truly sets them apart is their emphasis on mental health.
“We don’t just build bodies here. We build mindsets,” says Kalawati.
Whether it’s helping a client through postpartum recovery or motivating a stressed IT professional to reclaim energy, the Kiro Fitness team leads with empathy and heart.
Women at the Helm
Kiro Fitness is also a rare women-led business in Pune’s fitness industry. Kalawati Dongare’s strong presence challenges stereotypes and proves that passion, not just degrees, drives success. Her leadership has inspired many women in the community to prioritize health and step into the gym with confidence.
The Road Ahead
Kiran’s next goal is to expand across Maharashtra and bring The Kiro Fitness to more neighborhoods and towns. With plans for youth training camps, wellness workshops, and more tech-driven fitness solutions, the team is gearing up for scale.
