About

I help fitness coaches and trainers move beyond theory to real, hands-on skills. My courses and mentorship are built for anyone serious about coaching - whether you’re just getting started or want to work with top athletes. No complicated jargon, just practical stuff that actually works.

Train Like an Athlete

The only way to coach athletes is to train like one. You’ll do the drills, push your limits, and understand every movement because you’ve felt it yourself. My flagship PTSC Workshop is a full-on boot camp for your brain and body, often at places like Padukone-Dravid Centre. We cover everything from performance testing (think Yo-Yo, Beep test) to compound lifts, plyometrics, speed, agility, and even tech like load monitoring.

Pathways to Level Up

  • Intensive PTSC Workshop: Practical strength & conditioning mentorship, hands-on, science-backed.
  • Advanced Internship: For new coaches and physios, based in Chennai. Real experience, zero sales pressure. Some get hired from here.
  • Masterclasses: Deep dives into weightlifting (25+ lifts in a day), plyometrics, and advanced program design for fitness professionals.

Why Learn With Me

I’ve got the geeky science background (Master’s in S&C from UK) and the field experience (trained pro athletes with Tamil Nadu Cricket Association). My dad, Shanker Basu, coached RCB and even Team India. What we teach is rooted in real sport, not just textbooks.

Who’s This For

If you’re an aspiring S&C coach, a personal trainer aiming higher, or someone tired of textbook fluff - this is for you. You just gotta show up ready to learn and put in the work.

My Story

Gyms were my playground growing up – my dad’s Shanker Basu, so you can imagine. 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.
