Max Swahn introduces you to Bhuwan Chauhan and tells you about his journey from engineering to bodybuilding.

1. Petroleum Engineer to Body
Engineer: Meet Bhuwan
Chauhan
By Max Swahn

2. Born in Delhi, India on January 7,
1994, Bhuwan Chauhan is the first
Indian International Federation of
Bodybuilding and Fitness (IFBB)
Pro and the youngest Canadian
Men’s Physique Pro. But he wasn’t
always set out to become a
championship bodybuilder.

3. Raised in India, Bhuwan moved to Canada in
2011 to attend the University of Alberta. With
an academic, leadership and sports
scholarship in-hand, he pursued a degree in
Engineering. While still in school, through
hard work and dedication, he was able to
land a job at Encana, an oil and gas
company. In 2015, Bhuwan graduated from
University of Alberta as a First Class
Distinction student with a 3.7 GPA and a
degree in Petroleum Engineering. He
continued working for the oil and gas
company following graduation.

4. While Petroleum Engineering was his
profession, bodybuilding quickly
became his passion. Although he
started working out while at University,
Bhuwan didn’t begin competing until
2016. That year he competed in and
won both the Southern Alberta
Championship and the Alberta
Provincials Championship. And then in
2017 he competed and won the Ben
Weider Cup and obtained his pro card

5. With his pro card in-hand, Bhuwan officially turned
his bodybuilding passion into his profession. He
quit his engineering job in May 2018 to pursue his
bodybuilding goals full time as a sponsored
athlete and started his coaching company Bhuwan
Chauhan Fitness.

6. Was it an easy decision?
Not necessarily. In an
interview with MensXP he
shared his thoughts:
“I have unmatched discipline and work ethic and
I am willing to suffer and struggle as much it
takes. At the end of the day you really need to
suffer in this sport to get better and become
successful.” “Anybody who wants to follow their
dreams, the number one thing is to rise above
your fear. You must also make sure that you are
not blindly following your passion. Have a good
understanding of all the possibilities. That's what
I did, I made sure I am educated so in case I fail I
can go back to my job but if I succeed, I get to
make my passion my profession."

7. As a world class bodybuilder, he has
competed and won numerous competitions
since that first win in 2016. He has his
own fitness coaching business called Team
Bhuwan. His latest win was the Vancouver
Pro Show July 14, 2019. On top of that, in
2019 he achieved one of his biggest goals
when he qualified for Olympia 2019!
Well that he did.
