Completing 18 long years since Shape Up Slimming Center launched a health movement in Kathmandu in the year 2002, Lima Adhikari, CEO of Shape Up Slimming Center, shared the story of how the venture became as successful as it is now. Before founding the fitness centre, Lima came from a business background and was fascinated by the fitness business that was going on around her then in the foreign land of China. Seeing how the weight loss business boomed there, she decided to bring it to Nepal, where it was a very foreign concept, but definitely a necessary one.
Sharing this story with us, Lima says, “I founded Shape Up Slimming Center in order to help those that are focused enough to be healthier, achieve their weight loss objective, and feel their best in their own bodies. Initially, the concept was like shooting an arrow in the dark, I wasn’t sure of the outcome. However, we slowly promoted through word of mouth and became known and successful in helping people get rid of an unhealthy lifestyle.” So far, Shape Up Slimming Center, quite a credible organization, has done just that, and ushered more than 30,000 people to lead better and healthy lives. Everyone at the center, from the physicians, doctors, and dietitians to the admin staff, is friendly and very supportive.
Obesity in childhood can add up to health problems—often for life. In adults, overweight and obesity are linked to increased risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes (high blood sugar), high blood pressure, certain cancers, and other chronic conditions. To avoid these risks is where Shape Up Slimming Center comes into action. Currently, it has four centers, in New Baneshwor, Kamaladi, Naxal, and Kumaripati, and one at New Road, Pokhara.
With the success of Shape Up Slimming Center, Lima Adhikari has now become active as Secretary of Nepal Women Chamber and Executive Member of Nepal China Chamber of Commerce, and also handles a foundation for elderly people founded by her father and ex- finance minister, Bharat Mohan Adhikari. Along with these, this social entrepreneur is also the director of Amritah Wellness, located at Sanepa.
