Today we’d like to introduce you to Sonal Kulkarni.
Sonal, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
To briefly sum up my journey to becoming a SPENGA Franchisee…Long long time ago, I struggled through my leg pain and somewhere along the way realized that health was your one true wealth. I became passionate about being fit and developed a health routine of my own. I had released that anything can be achieved if you really put your mind to it.
Despite being a homemaker for 17 years, and a mother to two beautiful boys (four if you count canines!), I have always had this voice inside me that wanted to do something of my own. But I knew it had to be more than a business, it needed to speak to my passion, and it needed to make a difference. Given my own journey, fitness checked the box. SPENGA gave me my “ah ha” moment.
We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
I think the parts that speak to your passion, come easily and quite naturally. For all the other facets of translating that into a business, and more importantly, a successful business, I will admit it has been a rather steep learning curve. Thankfully through friends and family, I have always had access to the right resources to guide me through the tedious bits. I am also fortunate that the founders at SPENGA were equally passionate and willing to help me through the process as a new entrepreneur.
Easy or hard though, it is always worth it to give it your all to pursue your passion! So all those reading this, I’d say just go for it – get out of your comfort zone, work hard, and you can achieve anything!
We’d love to hear more about your business.

What were you like growing up?
Like for many, it’s hard to talk about myself. I was always a very friendly, creative and a superstitious individual, who loves animals and everything about nature and the wonderful things that God has provided us. I grew up in an amazing country (India) with a lot of culture all around me. I was brought up in a very close-knit family.
Being right brain dominant, growing up my interests were art (painting and drawing), stage theater, and dancing was my where I found myself. Trained as classical dancer in Bharatnatyam, dance was always on the forefront in my school and college days.
