Allahbadia said that he joined the world of content creation through workout videos and shot BeerBiceps’s gym content at a gym in Wadala.
The YouTuber said that he began a daily ritual of going to the gym at around 2 in the afternoon to avoid the rush. With only a few people in the gym, he said he was more comfortable and it was easier for him to shoot content for his channel.
However, the trainers at the gym did not like that. “The trainers were angry with me because I was growing. So, they banned me from the gym. I was very sad and upset," he said adding, that the opposition was due to jealousy over his growing popularity. Allahbadia revealed that the gym later shut down.

During the Covid-19 pandemic, he said that his idea of building a home gym was realised. As gyms were shut across the country, this soon became the only way to continue his journey as a fitness trainer on YouTube.
Today, Ranveer Allahbadia has over 9.8 million subscribers on his primary channel where he hosts podcasts as well as 8 million subscribers on the BeerBiceps channel.
