Over 13 years ago, I walked into a gym as a trainer. Today, I walk in as someone who has helped hundreds of people completely transform how they feel about their bodies and themselves.I spent a decade at Gold's Gym India, working my way from trainer to Fitness Centre Manager, building teams and coaching clients across all fitness levels. Since 2021, I have run my own coaching practice and the most rewarding part has never been the numbers on a scale. It has always been the moment a client realises they are stronger than they thought.I specialise in personal training, corrective exercise, performance enhancement, and fitness nutrition backed by certifications from ACSM, NASM, ACE, and BOSU. I am also EREPS certified, recognised across Europe as a qualified fitness professional.If you are looking for a trainer, coach, or fitness professional who combines international experience with genuine passion — let's connect.

Member of EREPS

The European Register of Exercise Professionals (EREPS) is the official Europe-wide register that ensures fitness professionals meet the knowledge, skill, and ethical standards required to safely and effectively train clients across all European countries.
As an EREPS-certified Personal Trainer at EQF Level 4, I am recognised across Europe as a qualified, competent, and accountable exercise professional, regulated by the European Health and Fitness Association (EHFA).
Why is this important for you?
EREPS is the benchmark that European gyms, employers, and clients look for when choosing a trainer they can trust. It validates that my qualifications meet internationally recognised European standards — not just regional ones. Working with an EREPS-certified coach means you are in the hands of a professional held to the highest European standards of practice, ethics, and ongoing education.

ACSM CPT

The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) is one of the most respected and science-driven organizations in the health and fitness industry. As an ACSM Certified Personal Trainer, I am trained to design safe, effective, and evidence-based fitness programs tailored to individual needs and goals.
This certification isn't just recognized—it’s ranked as the nation’s best. According to Forbes Health (June 2024), the ACSM-CPT was named the #1 Personal Trainer Certification Program, earning a perfect 5-star rating—the only program to do so.
Why does this matter to you?
Because when you train with an ACSM-CPT certified professional, you're not just following trends—you're following a program built on research, results, and safety. Whether your goal is fat loss, strength, rehabilitation, or athletic performance, I apply proven methods that deliver real progress without risking injury.

NASM PES

The NASM Performance Enhancement Specialist (PES) certification is designed for advanced training of athletes and active individuals who want to perform at their highest level. It’s one of the top credentials in sports performance training globally.
As a NASM-PES certified coach, I am trained in cutting-edge techniques to improve strength, speed, agility, power, and endurance—all backed by the National Academy of Sports Medicine's Optimum Performance Training (OPT™) model.
Why is this important for you?
Whether you're an athlete, weekend warrior, or someone who simply wants to move better and stronger, this certification means I understand how to train your body for peak performance, reduce injury risk, and unlock your full potential.
Working with a PES-certified trainer ensures you’re getting high-level sports performance programming, not just workouts.

NASM CES

The NASM Corrective Exercise Specialist (CES) certification focuses on identifying and correcting muscle imbalances, movement dysfunctions, and postural issues that can lead to pain or injury during training or daily life.
As a CES-certified trainer, I am equipped to assess movement patterns and design programs that improve mobility, stability, and overall biomechanics. This means I help clients move more efficiently—reducing pain, preventing injury, and enhancing performance.
Why is this important for you?
Many people train with underlying imbalances they don’t even realize, which eventually cause discomfort or setbacks. With the CES specialization, I ensure your training is not just effective, but also safe, personalized, and long-lasting.
A trainer with NASM-CES certification doesn't just push you harder—they help you move better, recover faster, and avoid injury.

ACE FNSP

The ACE Fitness Nutrition Specialist (FNS) certification bridges the gap between fitness and nutrition, empowering trainers to guide clients with science-based dietary strategies that support their health and performance goals.
As an ACE-FNS certified coach, I am trained to help clients understand how nutrition impacts energy, recovery, fat loss, muscle gain, and overall well-being. While I don’t prescribe strict diets, I provide evidence-backed guidance to help you build sustainable, healthy eating habits.
Why is this important for you?
Fitness without proper nutrition is like driving with the handbrake on. My FNS certification ensures you get a well-rounded program—one that aligns your workouts with smart eating strategies to maximize your results.
With the ACE-FNS credential, I help you fuel your body, not just train it—so you feel better, perform better, and achieve your goals faster.

I met Gaurav when I got the opportunity to work in the movie Bhaag Milkha Bhaag. At that time, I was called in by Farhan Akhtar's personal fitness trainer to meet the person who would be responsible for transforming me for the role. That was the first time I met Gaurav.To be honest, there was some initial doubt even Farhan's trainer wasn't fully confident whether I could gain the necessary muscle mass in the limited time I had. But Gaurav looked at me and simply said, ‘It’s tough, but not impossible.’ That one sentence gave me hope. I trusted him from that moment on. His guidance on exercise, nutrition, and supplements completely changed me. I still remember the reactions on the movie set people were genuinely surprised by how drastically I had transformed.The impact of that transformation didn’t stop there. Even after the movie, big names like Shahid Kapoor and Hrithik Roshan personally praised me for my look and performance in Bhaag Milkha Bhaag when I worked with them on other film projects.At the time, I was also performing at Kingdom of Dreams and simultaneously practicing running at the stadium to stay true to my character of a professional athlete. Even with such a hectic schedule, Gaurav made sure I stayed on track and got the results I needed.To this day, I continue to reach out to him whenever I need to prepare for a new role or physical transformation. I'm truly grateful to have a trainer like Gaurav in my life.

I have known and trained with Gaurav since the year 2015. He has been advising me on fitness patterns, exercise routines, food and nutrition ever since. While I have typically disliked going to gyms, Gaurav made personal training sessions at home fun and innovative.His conduct, at all times, mattered most. There were days when he would adjust sessions (despite having planned something different on his way to the session) based on my work day (as a lawyer it tends to get intense on days) — be it through kick boxing or on other days just 1-mile walks. Gaurav made me look forward to working out.One of my experiences that stood out with Gaurav were periods of injury and recovery — I remember having suffered an injury in my ankle at some point. When we resumed our training sessions, Gaurav was always cautious about not putting strain on my ankle. If I ever complained of the slightest pain, he would immediately stop the exercise and figure an alternative — small things that made the healing process so much better and enabled me to continue to exercise.I would highly recommend him as a trainer for fitness regimes including but not limited to functional training, weights, using newer equipment like TRX and BOSU, kick boxing, and being a part of your fitness journey, in general.

I first met Gaurav after my older son had trained with him to lose weight and strengthen his core. The results he achieved in such a short time were truly impressive.I have been active with workouts for the past few years, but after seeing my son’s results, I decided to train under Gaurav’s guidance. Training with him has been a game-changer. Under his coaching, I realized the true importance of balance and strength training. He ensures that with every workout, I’m not only building physical strength but also improving my response time and body-mind coordination.Gaurav is one of a kind. He believes in doing things right and has extreme depth of knowledge of the “don’ts” which are way more important than the “do’s”. He reads the needs of an individual very quickly and then balances the workout specifically to individual needs.He is both motivating and inspiring – keep up the good work.

I have been training under Gaurav since 2012. I had a very hectic corporate job, often hustling between cities and countries. This made workout very irregular, but when Gaurav became my personal trainer, he kept motivating me and made me regular.He takes special precautions when one is physically injured and also when someone is emotionally down. His understanding, support, and consistency have made a huge difference in my fitness journey.I am so used to his training that even after shifting from India, I continued with him online.

I can attribute Gaurav's workout philosophy to be my inspiration to my fitness journey. Looking up to a friend, I began realizing the need to begin training – and my former suggested I try working with Gaurav who he believed to be one of the best in the country.He is passionate in his methodology, and gets one to push their boundaries – while still remaining compassionate and kind, a very rare combination. Besides the time at the gym, Gaurav has also inculcated a holistic approach to my lifestyle – leading to a balanced diet, resulting in a rapid increase in my energy levels in day to day life as well as looking far more fit. Looking at my change in lifestyle, my entire family began working out with Gaurav, seeing phenomenal results.What truly sets Gaurav apart is his ability to understand individual goals and tailor programs accordingly, ensuring sustainable progress rather than quick fixes. His expertise extends beyond just physical training – he educates you on the science behind fitness, empowering you to make informed decisions about your health. The accountability and motivation he provides have been instrumental in helping me stay consistent, even on days when I felt like giving up.For those looking at beginning their journey, or taking it to the next level – I can attest that there may not be a better fitness expert there is!

I met Gaurav around 7-8 years ago when I recently moved back to India from the US. I had lost around 70 kgs just before moving back and continued to work out, thinking I was building muscle by doing weight training, but little did I know, I had the whole concept of weight training wrong.When Gaurav & I did our trial workout, meaning he had to evaluate my current health status, I was in for a rude awakening. Due to my extreme weight loss, I had also burnt through a lot of muscle, and overall I was weak — I couldn't do 10 pushups properly or even a 10KG bench press without struggling!Gaurav has helped build a strong muscle foundation over the years, and we've built on that by increasing our weights while lifting.Over the years, not only have I become stronger, but my form has also improved, and my concept of weight training has been entirely revamped to the extent that I can train on my own & know exactly what I'm doing. Gaurav not only trained me to lift weights but also helped build a more confident version of myself, understand what my body needs & gave some interesting insights into my diet as well. Nourishing your body is sometimes more important than training, and Gaurav was always supportive in advising me. Gaurav had also emphasised stretching, which I never did personally, but I now do more than ever!When you meet Gaurav, it's essential to be clear about your goals so he can help you achieve them and have patience. Working out is like building a business; it takes energy & patience, which is Gaurav's core understanding. I was lucky to train with him for all these years, and not once did I get injured — in fact, he made sure of that.Before I met Gaurav, I had personally met 7 out of 8 trainers, and I can say without a doubt that Gaurav by far exceeds in knowledge, experience & determination than anyone I have met in Delhi. You are in safe & good hands with Gaurav. I strongly recommend Gaurav to be a part of your fitness journey.

I have a demanding corporate job that involves long hours of sitting, which had started affecting my posture, energy levels, and overall fitness. A few years ago, a friend introduced me to Gaurav, and I began taking online training sessions with him.From day one, Gaurav’s guidance has been exceptional not just in terms of workouts tailored to my lifestyle, but also with the right advice on supplements and recovery.Now I feel stronger, more energetic, and far more confident in my physical abilities. I’ve even started preparing for trekking and hiking trips something I wouldn’t have imagined doing earlier.I truly thank Gaurav for bringing this positive change into my life.

Gaurav is a hardworking and highly professional trainer. He is fully committed, and consistently delivers the best results for his clients. He's also an incredible source of motivation and ongoing support.I first met him at Gold’s Gym in 2012 and started training under his guidance and that decision truly changed everything for me. His personalized approach, deep knowledge, and continuous encouragement helped me improve drastically, both physically and mentally.Thanks to his expert training, I was able to get selected for the FIT & FAB contest conducted by Gold’s Gym in 2013 at the pan-India level and I made it to the top five contestants. I owe a big part of that success to Gaurav's coaching and mentorship.
