The Tagda Tribe: Join the Movement
Forget standard gym reps. Step into the dugout where traditional Indian heritage meets modern functional movement. This is how we build real strength.
'Tagda' belongs to all of us. Our team is a bridge that connects our community to our physical culture heritage. This is a women's strength session, showing that this workout is for everyone.
The focus and determination of our Tagda tribe. This is a community where we push our limits together and celebrate every victory, big or small.
Fitness is not just about going to the gym, it's about how well you can move. This video shows a new member experiencing our workout for the first time, from Gadas and Mudgars to rope pulling and sandpit exercises.
Looking for an alternative to the gym? We offer a movement based training system with traditional equipment. It's beginner friendly, holistic, and open to all. Sign up and experience the OG Indian Workout.
Our training system is based on multi-planar, functional movements. We focus on teaching the body to adapt to shifting weights, which builds motor skills, balance, and stability.
Each frame here tells a story of curiosity turning into confidence. Our community in Bengaluru and Pune is growing every day, and we are here to empower them on their journey.

The atmosphere in our dugout is one of focus and shared energy. We train together, we grow together.

About The Tagda Tribe: Join the Movement
The biggest shift you'll face here isn't just the weight—it's the balance. Unlike standard gym dumbbells, our Gadas and Mudgars are uneven by design, forcing your core to stabilize constantly as you move. It is why you will find your functional strength and grip improving faster than you expect.
We didn't start Tagda Raho to build fancy gyms with air conditioning and mirrors. We started it to bring back the Akhara spirit. Whether you are a runner, a yogi, or just tired of the repetitive nature of machines, this system is for you. We focus on multi-planar movements that actually carry over into your daily life.
What to expect in your first session:
- Foundation First: We don't throw heavy weights at you on day one. We start with movement mechanics. You learn how to move your body through the flow before you load it up.
- The Equipment: You will train with Gadas, Mudgars, and Samtolas. These aren't just tools; they are pieces of engineering, lathed from solid Sheesham wood. They challenge your stability, grip, and rotational power in ways a static weight never could.
- The Community: Our dugouts in Bengaluru and Pune aren't places to show off. They are spaces to share the burden and the progress. Everyone is here to get stronger, not to compare muscles.
We are currently present in Bengaluru and Pune. If you are looking to fix your posture, regain lost mobility, or simply get 'Tagda' the right way, come by for a session. It is hard, it is honest, and it works. We have designed everything to be accessible, so start light and grow strong with us.
Tagda Raho
I am Rishabh. After a serious injury left me with partial paralysis, I didn't turn to medicine alone—I turned to our own roots. I founded Tagda Raho because I wanted to share the strength I regained, not just the tools I used. We are a community that believes in movement that lasts a lifetime.
