One of the pioneers in the health and fitness industry, and the first to introduce the idea of celebrity fitness in India, Leena Mogre is an institution in herself. Her first book titled ‘Total Fitness – The Leena Mogre Way’ published by Random House India and Penguin India was launched by celebrated Bollywood actress Madhuri Dixit at Leena Mogre’s gymnasium located in Bandra.

Leena Mogre is armed with a Masters in Food and Science & Nutrition and Sports Nutrition; regaled the guests and media present with incredible anecdotes of success stories. She started her journey in the fitness industry over two decades ago and her own signature brand of fitness centres over a decade ago and has over the years trained and guided actors like Ranbir Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor, Bipasha Basu, Deepika Padukone, Jacqueline Fernandez, Katrina Kaif, Soha Ali Khan and Aditya Roy Kapur to her credit.

Madhuri also mentioned how Leena’s guidance and expertise led her to being fit and fabulous. Madhuri who has penned the foreword in Leena’s book said, “I have known Leena since my ‘Hum Aapke Hain Kaun’ days. She was my first trainer and has helped me understand my body and how important it is to look fit and feel healthy. She has shared her wealth of experience and knowledge in this book to help you achieve ‘Total Fitness’ by learning and adapting from it. Her passion reflects in the book.”
