Who this is for

Existing gym trainers
Certified trainers adding rotational strength and Mudgal coaching to their toolkit.
Aspiring trainers
Fitness enthusiasts entering the industry with a specialised, defensible skill.
Yoga & wellness instructors
Yoga teachers, physiotherapists and sports coaches deepening their movement literacy.
Serious enthusiasts
Practitioners who want trainer-grade understanding, not weekend-workshop shortcuts.
The intellectual hook
Modern gyms train one plane.
Mudgal trains three.
Squats, deadlifts, bench presses — almost every popular exercise lives in the sagittal plane. The human body, in life and sport, does not. Throwing, striking, lifting overhead, wrestling, even picking up a child — they all demand the transverse plane.
Mudgal is one of the oldest, most refined tools for training that missing plane. AKHAADA IMS teaches you the anatomy and biomechanics behind it, so you can coach rotational strength with the same precision your clients expect for a squat.

Akhaada Performance Hub
Coursework is online.
The foundation is forged in Bengaluru.
AKHAADA IMS is taught online so trainers anywhere in India can certify without relocating. But every principle in the curriculum is field-tested at our offline gym — where Coach Pawan trains athletes and films the practical demonstrations.
Certified trainers are invited to visit for hands-on masterclasses and alumni meets.
