Why BollyX? Co-Founder Fen Tung's Story and An Exclusive High Energy BollyX Workout
Why BollyX? What inspired you to launch this amazing fitness program?
To be honest, I wasn't planning to "co-found" any start up at that time in my life. However, I've never been one to shy away from a challenge. I loved fitness and I loved teaching group exercise and I loved Bollywood music and dancing. I had over 10 years of experience in the fitness industry and had many certifications when I met Shahil. He was looking to partner with someone who had my experience. It was a no brainer to co-found BollyX and work with him and the rest of the co-founders team.
What is the best part of running BollyX?
The BEST part is the amazing people I have met through BollyX, who are now some of my closest friends. Now that fitness has gone virtual, I have met even more amazing rockstars from teaching live-streamed BollyX classes!
