My Journey
From Engineering to Transforming Lives
Kevin Zahri's journey into health and fitness began while pursuing his engineering degree at Northeastern University in Boston, USA. Driven by curiosity about human performance, nutrition and exercise science, he obtained his fitness training certification before returning to Malaysia.
What began as a personal passion developed into a career spanning fitness education, publishing, television, public speaking and community health initiatives.
In 2014, Kevin launched Jom Kurus, which grew into Malaysia's largest weight-loss movement, operating across more than 200 locations in Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei between 2014 and 2020.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Kevin collaborated with Malaysia's Ministry of Health (MOH) to launch Bukan Soal KURUS, Malaysia's largest online obesity intervention program.
This initiative subsequently evolved into Cabaran 30 Hari, a digital health and fitness community that continues to help Malaysians develop healthier habits through education, guided workouts and community support.
Today, Kevin combines more than two decades of industry experience with a practical, culturally relevant approach to health education, supporting individuals, organisations and communities in making sustainable lifestyle changes.
"Sustainable health isn't about perfection. It's about making better choices consistently."
