“I accidentally stumbled upon creating DRP, which was “Katalysta” back then in 2020 during covid, when I was cooped up in my parents apartment during the island wide quarantine. I was a fresh graduate visiting Sri Lanka to see my parents before I headed back to the UK for my masters. It was truly a frustrating time not just because we were all essentially in house arrest but also because I could not “gym”. This was a period of my life that I had completely thrown myself into working out, after recovery from an injury, so you can imagine how frustration as I was getting back into full stride. To add insult to injury, even my mother morphed into the world’s best baker to the point I felt like I was living in a bakery! When the whole world came to a halt, number of human lives lost increased everyday it was impossible to not get contemplative of life and also be grateful for the life I was living safe and sound but also uneasy because I couldn’t physically do anything to help people to stay safe. This period was truly life changing for me on so many levels, what I had done for vain reasons came to fade and I came closer to a bigger and a more wholesome purpose. All I had at my disposal were with a pair of 10kg dumbbells, set of Olympic rings(I had brought with me and take them everywhere I go), which I had anchored to the ceiling of my 8ft by 3ft balcony and a 12kg kettlebell and my body! It was really simple, I wanted to find a system that enhances human performance from a scientific standpoint, customized to that individual that enables them to achieve peak physical performance. Simply put, optimize health potential! This period of contemplation was gold as the whole world stood still and I became hugely introspective. I remember being intensely contemplative and feeling disappointed and saddened by the thought I wasn’t able to fulfill my childhood dream of being a word class athlete. It was clear to me whatever I had achieved at that point did not really sent my soul and spirit on fire. Being an ex-professional athlete who was riddled with injuries throughout my career I was not able to fulfill my potential due to injuries and sub-optimal training for my body. Will and grit couldn’t really amount up to physical conditions I had developed over the years with incorrect bio-dynamics, postural misalignments and insomnia, crash diets (I could write a book on all the stupid things I’ve done) and working out like an absolute maniac. So the quest in search of the most optimal training system set me on fire, so I could enable another kid in the world like me with similar aspirations have the odds in favor of them and maybe I could enrich someone’s quality of health and longevity by stopping them mindlessly banging there head against a wall! I thought maybe, just maybe this would be my contribution to the world. I truly believe in divergent thinking and there are more than one way to solve any problem or condition, we at DRP will find all these ways to solve your problem and give you the synergy of all the solutions, guide you and manage you so you can become your best self sooner rather later.
