About Strength and Conditioning
I don't believe in breaking your body to get fit. My focus is on building functional strength you can actually use, not just lift heavy for Instagram. We'll work on functional strength training, making sure every movement you do is solid before adding weight or speed.
What Sessions Look Like
You'll train with barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells, and your own bodyweight. We’ll do big classic lifts, calisthenics like pull ups and push ups, plus some conditioning - sleds, ropes, rowing, all to build your engine. I’ll also sneak in things like box jumps for a bit of athletic performance coaching.
What's Different Here
A lot of our work happens barefoot. Sounds odd, but training without shoes makes your feet and joints stronger and improves how your whole body moves. We spend time on mobility and stability training, hitting all those “boring” drills for your hips, shoulders, and knees that keep you injury-free.
My Approach
I’d rather you do one perfect squat than ten half-baked reps. We break down technique, go slow, and focus on quality over quantity. No diet shaming either. You’ll hear me say, “6 reps, 6 puris, repeat.” Fitness should add to your life, not steal your joy. Let’s get strong, stay injury-free, and have some fun while we’re at it.

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.
