Poorna Daftari Paliwal

Poorna Daftari has been a personal trainer for many years, but her true leap began in 2016 when she founded Go Figure Fitness at just 25. Guided by a philosophy of joy, gratitude, and balance, she built a wellness space that feels empowering, personal, and full of purpose. Her teaching reflects this — helping clients connect deeply with themselves, move with awareness, and live with intention.

She noticed early on that young people were struggling with preventable health issues. She believed the solution had to be enjoyable — a blend of smart nutrition and dynamic fitness. That belief sparked the birth of Go Figure Fitness.

An active Yoga and Pilates practitioner, Poorna has trained celebrated clients including Karishma Kapoor, Miss Malini, and many others. She has also worked with Asian Heart Hospital as a nutritionist, helping people achieve stronger bodies and calmer minds. A trained Bharatnatyam dancer, she firmly believes anyone can dance, and brings that joy to her Zumba and Pilates sessions. Whether in her studio or at corporate workshops, she ensures every session is energetic, varied, and impactful.


But behind this success is an inspiring journey.
Poorna began with online classes, then moved to just six students in her personal room. From there, she launched her first official class… and today, she leads a thriving studio with three parallel classes running at any time, a community of 200+ active members, and 10-15 classes every single day — all while being a mother of two.

As she worked closely with women, she realized something important: Today’s women are multitaskers — managing careers, homes, and motherhood — often without a moment for themselves. Many mothers shared that they couldn’t commit to fitness because they had young children at home.

Poorna turned this challenge into a breakthrough.
She introduced Kids Activity Sessions at the studio, allowing mothers to work out freely be it Yoga, Pilates, Zumba, Functional Training, or Dance while their children engage in fun, creative, and supervised activities right beside them.
This not only supports mothers but empowers whole families to choose wellness together.

Poorna provides unmatched accountability, carefully handpicking every instructor to maintain the quality Go Figure Fitness is known for. As an entrepreneur, mother, trainer, and mentor, she continues to build a community she once only dreamt of.

Every day, she wakes up grateful, excited, and ready to serve. And as she always says:
Stop doubting yourself and start doing. With practice, nothing is impossible even the toughest yoga pose.
