When there is oodles of talent in a person, lack of certificates couldn’t hamper the person from going places. From being an associate to a celebrity fitness trainer to being the personal trainer of one of South top actor Suriya and then to Vikram, Alkhas Joseph has come a long way. He is the person instrumental in shaping up Suriya’s body to suit to the larger than life image he has portrayed from the film ‘Vaaranam Aariyam’ to ‘Singham’.
It was sheer luck by chance that Alkhas met Vikram and then ‘I’ happened to him. If Vikram’s hardwork and passion is lauded for sporting the three variety of looks for Shankar’s ‘I’, the man behind that conviction and guide for the rigorous regime and the strict diet is definitely Alkhas Joseph. In his own words, Alkhas says that he understands the characters of the actors first to understand the kind of look they had to achieve.
And the best of training he gets to train himself, is to try his ideas on himself. Alkhas reveals that whatever strict diet and gym regime he has planned for Vikram, he tried on himself first and only then applied on the star actor. He is self-taught and hence feels that he doesn’t need certificates for his work. For a personal who is interested in physical fitness and training since 8th class, learning the tricks of the trade is more an achievement than just a career option.
