This is our story

We’re passionate about fitness, wellness, and transformation health stories from all around the GCC and India. Sharing stories of ordinary humans who live extraordinary lives brings us joy and happiness. We also review various races, fitness products, trainers, and more.

Story of Fitness is managed by Arti Dani – a digital, print & television journalist who has tracked & developed Hollywood & Bollywood stories for more than a decade. Arti has also run marathons in Europe, South America, Asia, Middle East and has ultra marathons in her sights now. She has been fascinated with stories and the fine art of storytelling, be it theater, movies, books, and even restaurant menus.

The recent upheaval in print media reached Arti in late 2019 when her position in a leading Middle East newspaper was downsized freeing her up from the 24 hours breaking news cycle to share stories closer to her heart. Story of Fitness is part of her lifelong wish to write and share stories of joy.

Apart from Story of Fitness, Arti is currently freelancing for a lot of publications worldwide. She has written for publications such as Khaleej Times, The National, Euro News, South China Morning Post, Gulf News Friday Magazine, Arab News and more. She also does a lot of freelance work for corporate clients handling blogs, social media, SEO, content writing and travel writing.
