About Pilates
I see Pilates as more than just a way to get abs or chase fitness fads. My approach is about building a strong, balanced body that actually helps you live your life - without giving up your favourite foods. It’s all about balance, boss. Six reps, six puris... you get the vibe.
What I Teach
I stick to the classical Pilates method, called Contrology. Every movement has a purpose. I focus on control, not just mindless reps, so you actually feel the difference in your body and mind. Think of this as upgrading your system, not just working out for the sake of it.
What Happens in a Session
We mix things up using proper Pilates equipment:
- The Reformer for dynamic stretching and strength
- The Wunda Chair (don’t underestimate this one)
- The Cadillac/Tower for variety and rehab support
- Barrels and Spine Corrector for spine and core focus
You can do 1-on-1 sessions tailored to you, or join group classes if you like a bit of squad energy.
Why It Matters
- Solid core = better movement, less pain
- Great for injury recovery (been there, fixed that myself)
- Helps athletes with functional movement training and performance
- Even helps calm your mind and improve sleep
Beginner, athlete, or just want to feel better in your own skin - I work with all kinds. Working out should fit into your life, not take it over. That’s my way.

My Story
Most folks spot me in the gym and think I eat, sleep, breathe weights. Truth is, my love for movement started ages ago—basketball, rugby, karate (yeah, black belt). Fitness for me is more about moving well than just lifting big. Also, I’m that guy who’s loyal to Airlines Hotel in Bangalore—20 years of dosa, vada, coffee. I rate cheesecakes, wear weird socks, and once rocked Coorg attire like it was Met Gala. Fitness is serious, but I’m not always.
My Work
What I offer - Classical Pilates, CrossFit L2, strength & conditioning, mobility for knee pain, and pain management.
How I train - No 'no pain, no gain' drama. We build strength with mobility first. Listen to your body, not just grind.
Who I work best with - If you want HYROX training or just want to climb stairs pain-free, and enjoy fun fitness sessions, I’m your guy.
Session vibes - You’ll sweat, you’ll laugh. I push hard but keep it real—plus, I know where to get epic pizza.
