About

Discipline is honestly the whole game. I don’t offer shortcuts or magic formulas - it’s about showing up, even when you don’t feel like it. Fitness isn’t a quick fix, and I won’t sugarcoat that. Some days you’ll want to quit, but that’s where progress happens.

What Fitness & Lifestyle Coaching Means to Me

Movement is the best medicine. It’s not just muscle or fat loss - it’s better sleep, more energy, and a way to handle stress. I focus on helping you train for whatever matters most to you, whether that’s feeling stronger, clearer in the head, or just being able to run after your kids without getting tired.

How I Coach

• Functional movement training with dumbbells, barbells, kettlebells, and bodyweight - so you get strong for everyday life, not just the gym.
• Mindset work and discipline - I’ll help you set real goals and stick to them, even when motivation dips.
• Real food, no starvation. We build sustainable nutrition habits, focusing on clean, local food and simple changes, not fad diets.
• Strength recovery coaching is personal for me - I’ve rebuilt myself after injury, so I get the setbacks and know how to help you come back smarter.

Options to Work Together

• Online sessions via the Cult app, with programs like outdoor Toned Abs and Fit One Series.
• Personalized fitness routines for 1-on-1 coaching, shaped to your goals and any injuries.
• Fitness retreats at my Coorg plantation - workouts, walks, meditation, and homegrown food in a chill, natural setting.

If you’re done making excuses and ready for the real deal, let’s get going.
