But I had to break out, so off I went to Leeds Beckett for my Masters, ended up living and breathing sport, not just reading about it. Now, I coach athletes, fitness newbies, and everyone in between. Off the field? I’m a sports nut and total anime/gaming geek – Chennai Comic Con was a blast! I mix that same passion and science in my coaching. ### My work - **Strength & Conditioning, for everyone**: We do one-on-one science-based strength coaching, athlete training, general fitness, nutrition, and online strength training consultations. - **Who trains with us**: Pro athletes, weekend warriors, or first-timers – if you’re serious, we’re in your corner. - **No-nonsense, practical approach**: We cut through fitness myths. Every plan is practical, custom, and rooted in real science. - **Holistic athlete training**: Training, sleep, recovery, food – it’s all connected. We explain the ‘why’ for everything. - **Fun, not punishment**: Work hard, play hard – tournaments, community, a bit of banter. It’s about enjoying the grind. ## Book To book Arjun Basu, message mytribe on WhatsApp: [Chat on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi%2C%20I'd%20like%20to%20book%20Arjun%20Basu.)
