True strength comes from discipline and the right guidance. At Vis Orbit, we treat training as a sacred partnership where respect for the process leads to national-level results.

A coach is someone who has already walked the path. Respecting their effort is the most important thing. Here, I'm spotting a client on the bench press, passing on the knowledge my guru gave me.

Coaching a client through a 220kg deadlift. My job is to be there, providing the right cues and support to ensure a safe and successful lift.

My strength comes from my guru's presence. This video shows my training and competition lifts, all dedicated to making my coach proud.

We are nothing without our teachers. My coach, Ashish Bhandari, is the reason for my success. This is me competing under his guidance.

My guru ji, Ashish Bhandari, training in the gym. I learn as much from watching him as I do from his instruction.

My greatest strength is having my guru ji in front of me during a lift. This video shows a win that is as much his as it is mine.

About The Guru-Shishya Bond: Coaching & Mentorship

Most gyms just count your reps, but here, we focus on the relationship. When you train with me at Vis Orbit, I am not just correcting your form on the bench press or deadlift; I am teaching you how to respect the bar and the process. You get my personal attention, whether we are working through a 220kg deadlift or fixing a squat stall, ensuring you learn the same mental discipline that got me to the Nationals.
