Lavina Mehta on how a passion project can lead to an MBE

The Better Life: Mastering The Art Of Reinvention

Jun 26 2024 • 31 mins

Lavina Mehta is a personal trainer, wellness coach, mum of three and TV and radio fitness expert. Lavina started her working life in management and quickly ascended to a Global Project Manager role at BP, but eventually chose to leave this role to focus on her family. It’s a decision that so many women have to face in their careers - but for Lavina it was an opportunity for an amazing reinvention. As you’ll hear, she became more and more interested in fitness and it ignited passion in her for exercise and nutrition. At age 40 she qualified as a personal trainer and became committed to helping other Asian women like her look after their health. During lockdown she offered twice daily “snack” workouts to help people keep fit from home. It snowballed into a global phenomenon and in October 2020 she was awarded in MBE for services in Health & Fitness over the covid pandemic. She’s won multiple other accolades and awards for her work and is about to publish her first book focused on fitness and health in menopause. She is passionate about showing women how to look after their bodies and that it’s never too late to follow & fulfil their dreams.
