The journey from zero to hero of Fitzone Founder – Mr. Điều Xuân Trung

December 19, 2025

From a person plagued with numerous health issues to a victor over illness and a pioneer in sports digitization, Mr. Điều Xuân Trung has proven that with technology and an unyielding determination, one can go from “zero” to “hero”.

From the Peak to the Depths

In 2018, when his career was thriving, Xuân Trung suddenly faced a major turning point. A severe illness — blood and lung infections, along with several other health problems such as herniated discs, high blood fat, and diabetes due to work stress, forced him to stop all work for treatment. His weight reached a record high of 85kg, posing a significant challenge both physically and mentally. The days spent struggling against illness seemed like they would sink all of his plans.

The Journey of Overcoming Obstacles to Reclaim Himself

Despite the pain and despair, Mr. Điều Xuân Trung refused to surrender to fate. Like a salmon, before the dazzling waterfall bathed in sunlight, with the roaring sound of water crashing down, the salmon gathers momentum to leap through the ferocious waterfall. Mr. Xuân Trung carried within him a firm determination to overcome adversity. He asked himself, “Is there a shortcut to get into sports when my body is still “weak”?” And the answer he found was technology.

No longer relying solely on his own physical strength, he turned to advanced technological devices such as EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation), Cryotherapy (whole-body cold therapy), and Red Light Therapy to support his recovery and training process. His perseverance and strong will helped him gradually overcome illness and confidently push his limits.

A Remarkable Breakthrough, Overcoming His Limits

With the support of technology and digitalization in his training regimen, combined with relentless determination to save himself, after two years of training, Mr. Xuân Trung embarked on an incredible journey. He completed 20 Full Marathon 42km races, 3 Spartan Races, 1 Trail 70km, and 8 Ultra 100km races. These impressive numbers were achievements Mr. Xuân Trung never imagined he would accomplish. This journey was not only about recovery but also about surpassing his own limits — the breakthrough of his body and the hope he carried within.

Fitzone Is Born – Bringing Technology to the Community

Being a living proof of the application of digital technology in sports, he realized that with the support of advanced methods and a strong will, any challenge could be overcome. Mr. Xuân Trung recognized that this was a breakthrough not only in sports but also in injury rehabilitation. These methods not only worked for him but could also help others who found themselves in a similar situation as he was two years ago. Therefore, he decided to establish Fitzone with the desire to bring knowledge and digital solutions to the Vietnamese sports community.

At Fitzone, customers will always experience the best health care and recovery services using modern technology. One standout service at Fitzone is the Contrast Therapy weight loss method — a combination of Cryotherapy and Red Light Therapy, an advanced technology making its debut in Vietnam. Along with the elements of technology and digitization, the people are the core of Fitzone, with a team of experts rich in experience in sports and health.

Mr. Điều Xuân Trung’s story is not only a journey of conquering illness but also an inspiration to everyone about the power of technology and human will. With Fitzone, he has turned his dream into reality, transforming challenges into opportunities to help those who want to conquer their own limits. Mr. Trung is living proof that from zero, one can become a hero when we persist and trust in technology and ourselves.
