It's about practicing 'Tagda Raho'—a philosophy where we use functional tools like Gada and Mudgars to break through mental barriers, not just physical ones. Every movement is a deliberate choice to show up for yourself. Physical exercise is one of the most effective ways to regulate your nervous system. Whether we are working on mobility at my Indiranagar turf facility or focusing on Hyrox race conditioning, the primary goal is always the mental high. When you learn to handle the discomfort of a heavy Gada swing or the burn of a sled push, you are actually training your brain to handle stress, anxiety, and the unexpected challenges of daily life. I treat fitness as an exercise in self-love. That means we don't punish our bodies with endless cardio; we fuel them with purpose. I help you build a routine that fits your life, whether that is through structured sessions at Chakra Athletica or remote coaching that keeps you accountable when you are traveling. We often focus on 'discipline' as a rigid concept, but here, it is soft. It is simply keeping a promise to yourself. If you are starting from zero or recovering from an injury, we go slow. We focus on form, we build a mind-muscle connection, and we listen to what you need on any given day. You don't need to be perfect to start. You just need to be present. ## About Sheri Peri I'm Sheri. I've been on both sides of this journey—the injuries, the mental highs, and the days where showing up feels impossible. I’m here to help you move, breathe, and find the 'Tagda' within, not because you have to, but because you deserve to feel capable.
