Strength & Conditioning Workshops and Training Highlights
A look at the science-backed, practical side of our S&C coaching, workshops, and elite athlete performance testing.
This is what peak performance looks like. Here, I'm conducting a Yo-Yo test with the Tamil Nadu Tennis Association's Under-18 players. We push athletes to their limits to get measurable data, which is the foundation of any elite strength and conditioning program you'll learn to build.
Don't just take my word for it. Hear directly from coaches and physios who have gone through my PTSC workshop. They talk about the practical skills, the hands-on learning, and how it transformed their approach to training.
My workshops aren't about sitting in a classroom. This is a glimpse into our outdoor practical session at the Padukone-Dravid Centre, where I break down plyometric principles. You learn by doing, feeling the movements yourself to understand them inside and out.
Let's bust a common myth. I break down why static stretching right after a workout can actually kill your gains. My coaching is about giving you the scientific 'why' behind every method, so you can make informed decisions for your clients.
Working with professional teams like the Nellai Royal Kings in the TNPL is where theory meets reality. This experience is baked into every course I teach, giving you insights that you just can't get from a textbook.
My Weightlifting Masterclass is an intense, hands-on experience where we cover over 25 different lifts in a single day. This is about mastering the technique and understanding the biomechanics of complex movements like the clean and jerk and the snatch.
My education is the bedrock of my practical experience. I was the first Indian student to get an MSc in Strength and Conditioning from Leeds Beckett University, and I bring that level of academic rigor to all my mentorship programs.
About this collection
You won't find us sitting in a classroom reading from slides. This gallery captures us on the field at the Padukone-Dravid Centre and inside our studios, actually running Yo-Yo tests and breaking down heavy lifts. It is the difference between memorizing a manual and knowing exactly how to cue an overhead squat because you have lived it.
My methodology is built on a simple premise: if you want to coach elite athletes, you need to understand the physical demands they face. Whether it is working with the Tamil Nadu Cricket Association or hosting my flagship PTSC workshops, I bring the same rigor to every session.
This collection shows the range of our work—from the high-energy environment of our bootcamps in Bengaluru to the technical precision required for Olympic weightlifting. We cover the entire spectrum: musculoskeletal screening, performance testing, and real-world program design.
If you are a trainer or a physiotherapist, these are not just workshops; they are a crash course in how to get results. You leave with a 'folder for life'—not just a certificate—and the confidence to handle any athlete who walks through your door. We focus on the 'why' so you can make your own informed decisions, rather than just copying someone else's routine. We strip away the textbook fluff and show you what actually works on the gym floor.
