Let’s build a body that can actually handle life—chasing toddlers, carrying groceries, and lifting heavy. This is real, functional strength, zero bullshit. ## Photos and videos - [Video: This is why I train. It's not about aesthetics or fitting into a certain size. It's about building a body that can handle life, and showing my daughter what a strong mom looks like. I want her to grow up knowing that her mom is powerful, capable, and can lift as much as anyone's dad.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/9f99da03-ab51-47e8-a375-b9314865a8b1) - [Video: For all my postpartum mamas, listen up. Getting your "strongest version" back isn't about jumping into intense workouts. It's about rebuilding from the inside out. This video shows the foundational core rehab work that is non-negotiable before you even think about lifting heavy again.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/be810052-ef98-404e-8f32-74c18fae2e2c) - [Video: I'm so tired of the narrative that a new mom's body should look like she never had a baby. It's damaging and puts so much pressure on us. Let's change the conversation. Compliment a mom on her strength, her resilience, her hard work, not on erasing a huge part of her life's story.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/eda99a90-cf1e-4edb-9842-02b82f6b616a) - [Video: Let's learn how to do a squat clean. Olympic lifts can seem intimidating, but I break them down into simple, manageable steps. Here, I walk you through the key cues to get the bar from the floor to your shoulders safely and powerfully, focusing on patience and proper form over just lifting heavy.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/ed13e061-e9de-4074-9a7c-693d2e05b395) - [Video: Think you need a gym to get a tough workout?

It's real, it's heavy, and it hits when we feel most helpless. We're told we can have it all, but no one teaches us how to handle the overwhelming emotions. Feeling guilty doesn't make you a bad mom; it means you care. We need to talk about this more.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/5699820f-c20c-45d4-9f10-1090d3758f02) - ![Here I am at my first competition after becoming a mom. Stepping out of my comfort zone like this is a huge part of the journey. It's proof that you can come back stronger postpartum and hold your own, no matter your age. This is what building your strength is all about.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/fa85a265-cf18-42fa-b3e7-cebd1d7b677a) ## About Featured I’m not here to track your macros for weight loss or sell you a six-week fad. In these sessions, we focus on functional movements—squats, deadlifts, and presses—that make life with a toddler actually manageable. You’ll get coaching on your form, core rehab, and how to stay consistent even when your sleep schedule is total chaos. If you're ready to stop shrinking and start getting strong, let's talk. Most fitness advice for moms is either patronizingly gentle or obsessed with 'bouncing back' to a pre-baby size. That is absolute nonsense. My philosophy is simple: we train to build a 'strong old lady body.' This means we prioritize heavy compound movements—squats, deadlifts, and presses—that increase bone density and functional independence for the long haul. We tackle pelvic floor and core rehab first. Not because it’s about vanity or hiding a 'pooch,' but because it’s the foundation you need to lift heavy safely. Whether you are dealing with postpartum recovery, navigating perimenopause, or just fed up with the usual fitness industry noise, this is where we build grit. My coaching isn't one-size-fits-all. If you are in Bengaluru, we can work on technical Olympic lifting cues in-person at the gym. If you are remote, you get tailored programming via app with video form reviews so you aren't guessing. We focus on: * **Foundational Movement:** Learning to squat, hinge, and press correctly. * **Functional Engine:** Workouts that prepare you for real-life chaos. * **Sustainable Habits:** Nutrition and movement that fits into a busy, sleep-deprived schedule. We are a scrappy crew of women who show up even when we are exhausted. No excuses, no fads, just work. ## About Mrinalini Bakshi Sengupta I’m Mrinalini, and I’m just a mom who loves lifting heavy shit. When I was pregnant, I realized the fitness industry had no clue how to train moms without babying them or pushing toxic transformation culture. I built this to help you get strong for life, not just for looks.
