Functional Equipment Training with Athletes Revolution
Build raw strength and stability using the gear you have. From TRX straps to Olympic barbells, we tailor the tools to your goals.
This is a more advanced TRX workout for building full-body strength. Exercises like single-leg squat jumps and pikes challenge your stability, power, and core, providing a high-intensity cardio workout.
The TRX band is one of the best tools for building a strong core. This video showcases six of my favorite TRX exercises, including mountain climbers and various leg tucks, to target your abs and obliques.
Here is a sample workout plan I wrote for a TRX and Olympic rings session. The video shows me performing some of the exercises, like glute bridges, which improve muscle strength and protect your joints from injury.
Olympic barbell training is incredibly effective for building full-body strength and power. This clip shows a compound movement that engages multiple muscle groups, making your workouts more efficient.
A proper bicep workout is key for building stronger arms and increasing your lifting power. Here, I'm demonstrating different types of bicep curls with dumbbells to help you build aesthetic and functional strength.
Strong triceps are essential for stabilizing your shoulders and improving flexibility. This video shows several dumbbell exercises, like tricep extensions and dips, that I use to build upper body strength.
Isometric exercises, like the holds shown in this dumbbell workout, are great for building strength and lowering blood pressure. This routine includes an Arnold press and deadlift to work the entire body.
About this collection
Stop waiting for the perfect gym setup to start training. I customize every program to match your current environment, whether you have a full rack of weights at home or just a pair of resistance bands. You do not need a complex setup to get strong. You need a strategy that turns whatever gear you have into an effective tool for your progress.
Functional training is not about having the most expensive equipment. It is about knowing how to use what you have to push your limits. My programs are environment agnostic, designed to fit your lifestyle whether you train in a commercial gym or your own living room.
How I Structure Your Training
- TRX & Bodyweight: We use suspension trainers for core stability, mobility, and high-intensity moves that are easy on your joints but tough on your muscles.
- Barbell & Dumbbells: For those with access to heavy gear, I focus on compound lifts like deadlifts and squats. These are the gold standard for building raw power and bone density.
- Resistance Bands: Perfect for home-based training, I use these to add variable resistance to your warm-ups and exercises, keeping your muscles engaged throughout the entire movement.
- Medicine Balls: These tools bring in explosive movement and rotational strength, essential for athletic performance.
My Coaching Process
I do not just send you a PDF and leave you to figure it out. We use the FITTR app to log every session. You record videos of your main lifts, and I personally review them to correct your form. This asynchronous feedback ensures you stay injury-free and keeps your technique clean. Alongside the movement, you get a macro-based Indian diet plan tailored to your body and your TDEE, making sure your nutrition supports your training intensity. We focus on consistency, not crash diets.
