His Journey in his words

I have always been inclined towards sports & physical activity from the very start of my life. I used to love jumping, running, monkeying on the bars, climbing walls, and stuff. I learned about calisthenics when I first saw Frank Medrano's video. His skills looked easy but when I tried I couldn't do any of them. This is when I started learning more, practicing and understood about calisthenics. I workout for myself and I love what I do. It has been 6 years that I am practicing calisthenics and this sport will stay with me for the rest of my life.



Future Goals in Calisthenics

I want to master every muscle of my body and get complete control over my body weight. It includes all the calisthenics skills and feats of strength. With that I aim to bring the community together by the means my brand called Pure Calisthenics and want to redefine health & fitness for India.
